Grease Trap Cleaning Toledo OH — Licensed & Fast Service
Professional grease trap cleaning, pumping & emergency service for restaurants, hotels & commercial kitchens across Northwest Ohio. Licensed & insured.
The Toledo Division of Water Distribution requires every commercial food service establishment to maintain a functioning grease interceptor — pumped before grease and solids reach 25% of the interceptor’s total liquid capacity. Lucas County Health Department inspectors verify cleaning records on every routine inspection.
Toledo Grease Trap provides a signed Ohio EPA waste transport manifest on-site before our truck leaves your lot — every single visit, every single time.

Grease Trap Cleaning
Licensed, insured technicians service all interceptor types — from 20-gallon indoor units to 2,500-gallon outdoor interceptors. Full Ohio EPA compliance documentation on every visit.
Grease Trap Pumping
High-volume pumping for restaurant-grade interceptors and outdoor grease traps. Same-day service available across Northwest Ohio.
Emergency Service
Grease trap overflow or backup? We respond fast across Toledo and all of Northwest Ohio. Call us — emergency service available.
Not all grease traps are the same — the size, type, and location of your interceptor determines how often it needs service and what equipment our team brings. We service every interceptor type found in Northwest Ohio.
Under-Sink & Indoor Units
Small interceptors (20–250 gallons) beneath prep sinks or in kitchen floors. Common in cafes, small restaurants, and concession kitchens. Most require monthly to quarterly service.
Hydromechanical Interceptors
High-efficiency units from Josam, Jay R. Smith, and Zurn. Compact but require frequent service due to smaller capacity. We service all makes and models.
Outdoor Underground Interceptors
Large-capacity units (500–2,500+ gallons) buried outside the building. Found in full-service restaurants, hotels, and institutional kitchens. Require our vacuum truck and scheduled cleanout access.

01.
Pre-Service Inspection
We measure grease cap thickness and solids depth. Both are recorded on your compliance manifest before we touch anything.
02.
Complete Pump-Out
Our vacuum truck removes 100% of grease, liquid, and solids. We don’t do partial pump-outs — a half-cleaned trap fails the 25% rule within days.
03.
Manual Scrape
We manually scrape the lid, side walls, inlet baffle, and outlet baffle. Hardened buildup the pump can’t reach is removed by hand.
04.
Baffle Inspection
Inlet and outlet baffles are checked for cracks, displacement, or corrosion. Damaged baffles cause compliance failures — we flag them on-site.
05.
Hot Water Flush
Hot water flush confirms free flow and cleans the interceptor walls. We verify no grease remains adhered before closing the unit.
06.
Manifest On-Site
The completed Ohio EPA waste transport manifest is handed to you before we leave. Keep it on file — inspectors ask for it.
