Commercial Grease Trap Installation for Portland Businesses

Grease traps prevent grease from obstructing your business's plumbing. Without them, animal fats and oils might clog sewage systems and cause problems in your commercial kitchen. Regular maintenance is essential for preventing plumbing issues and unneeded costs.

In Portland, our trained business plumbers can conduct grease trap replacements or install one for the first time. To keep your kitchen running smoothly. Whether you're updating or expanding, we'll help you locate the right solution.

Types of Grease Traps

The three major types of commercial grease traps that are used in commercial kitchens in the United States are:

• Automatic oil/grease cleaning systems
• Concrete gravity grease interceptors
• Grease traps/small passive hydro-mechanical grease interceptors

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we work on installing all three types of grease traps. We also offer grease trap repair services for those who already have a product they love but just needs some work.
