Grease trap installation, cleaning and maintenance in Quitman
A grease trap is a tank between a commercial kitchen's drains and the sewer or septic line that slows water down so fats, oils and grease float and separate out instead of moving on into the system. Once the trap fills, grease carries through and starts coating the line. Installing the right size and cleaning it on a schedule is what keeps that from happening.
Quitman’s grease volume is seasonal in a way most towns are not. Lake Fork brings tournament traffic and spring bass season, and marina kitchens, bait shops with fryers and seasonal food stands go from almost nothing to flat out within a few weeks.
We install traps, we clean them, and we keep them on a maintenance schedule. One company for the whole life of the trap.

Sewer or septic changes what a failed trap costs you
Town kitchens are on city sewer. Marina and lake-adjacent food service is often on septic, and some of it only operates part of the year, which is exactly when a trap gets forgotten.
A trap cleaned on schedule is a routine pump-out. A trap cleaned when someone notices a smell is usually a blocked line, a shut kitchen and a much bigger bill. Tell us your covers per day and what you are running and we will size and schedule it properly.

Grease trap questions from Quitman kitchens
Do seasonal Lake Fork kitchens still need trap service out of season?
Yes, and the pump-out at the end of the season matters more than the one during it. Grease left sitting in a trap through a quiet autumn hardens and turns a routine pump-out into a much harder job next spring.
Do you install grease traps as well as clean them?
Yes. We install grease traps, clean them, and keep them on a maintenance schedule. If you are opening a kitchen or your current trap is undersized for what you actually cook, we can size and put in the right one rather than handing you off to someone else.
How often does a grease trap in Quitman need cleaning?
Most commercial kitchens fall between 30 and 90 days. High-volume fryers and heavy prep push it toward 30; a small cafe with limited cooking can often run longer. Your local health inspector may set a minimum, and the trap’s own fill rate settles the rest.
Do you service Quitman kitchens outside normal hours?
Yes. Most kitchens prefer a pump-out before opening or after close, and someone answers our phone any hour. If a trap backs up mid-service, call and we will come.
