A full grease trap means slow kitchen drains, foul odors, and — eventually — a sewage backup during dinner service. Express Drain & Sewer Cleaning pumps and cleans grease traps and interceptors for restaurants, cafeterias, and food-service properties across Hollywood, Miami-Dade and Broward, plus select Palm Beach County properties. We set cleaning schedules around your kitchen's actual output and provide the service documentation your municipality asks for. Call (954) 763-2520 to schedule a pump-out.
What's inside your trap
Grease floats, solids sink, and both eat into your trap's working capacity every day. Our service removes accumulated fats, oils, grease, and settled solids so the device can do its job. The scope depends on your trap's size, access, and condition. Pumping the trap is not the same as clearing a clogged kitchen drain or a blocked downstream sewer — if drains are slow, tell us so we can address the line too.
How often should you pump?
It depends on your menu, volume, kitchen practices, and trap size — a busy fryer-heavy restaurant needs far more frequent service than a coffee shop. Keep your cleaning records and note recurring slow drains or odors. Confirm required intervals and recordkeeping with your local authority, since many South Florida municipalities set their own rules. Regular pumping keeps you ahead of both clogs and compliance issues.
A service visit that doesn't disrupt service
Tell us where the trap or interceptor sits — inside the kitchen, outdoors, or in a traffic area — plus your operating hours, delivery routes, and where our truck and hoses can go. Have a responsible contact on site to confirm access and scope. Don't open the cover or handle collected wastewater yourself. If you have an active backup, tell us where it's showing and keep staff clear of contaminated areas. We'll coordinate any kitchen interruption with you in advance.
Records that keep you compliant
Tell us what documentation you need before scheduling — many properties and municipalities require specific service records. Keep them with your past cleaning notes and any recurring problem details. If slow drains continue after the trap is pumped, the connected piping may need its own cleaning or camera inspection.
