Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning in New England
Whether upgrading or installing a new system, GEM can help!
Routine Grease Trap Maintenance
GEM offers routine grease trap cleaning to prevent grease buildup and clogged pipes. Grease traps are an important plumbing device in the food industry. They prevent large deposits of oil from entering your wastewater disposal system. When oil enters your pipes and mixes with other food, it cools into a solid and can create blockages in your system. But, you can keep grease out of your pipes with regular maintenance by expert technicians.
GEM Technicians will assess your indoor plumbing system and recommend maintenance plans to keep your commercial businesses — whether it be the food industry in restaurants, hotels, schools, or hospitals — running smoothly.

Grease Trap Plumbing Devices
Grease traps are sized based on the size of your sink and dishwasher. GEM services two types of grease traps.
Grease traps are the most important part of any commercial kitchen plumbing system. They are designed to catch grease before it enters the wastewater disposal system.
If the grease trap is full, fat, oil, grease, and solids can cause clogged pipes and unnecessary problems such as foul odors or septic system damage.
Passive Grease Traps
Passive grease traps are small units that connect to the sink or dishwasher. They catch grease before it enters the rest of your plumbing system.
Grease Recovery Devices (GRDS)
Remove grease automatically. Grease is recovered and recycled with waste vegetable oil from kitchen deep fryers.
