Keeping Southwest Florida’s Food Service Industry Running Clean

Gator Grease Trap Cleaning was built specifically to solve this challenge for local business owners. While general septic and plumbing companies treat grease trap maintenance as a side service, commercial liquid waste management is our primary focus.

From small under-sink grease traps (50–100 gallons) in Cape Coral cafes to large outdoor in-ground vaults (1,000–5,000+ gallons) at resort hotels in Naples, our fleet utilizes modern vacuum pumping technology to deliver complete waste extraction, thorough baffle washing, and accurate manifest logging every time.

How We Protect Your Commercial Kitchen?

Complete Extraction: We pump out 100% of the accumulated liquid, floating grease cap, and heavy bottom solids—never skimming only the surface.

Scrape & High-Pressure Wash: Our technicians thoroughly scrape the interior vault walls, clear intake/outlet baffles, and inspect internal components for structural integrity.

FOG Manifest Reporting: We complete and issue official waste disposal manifests required by local municipal utilities (including Lee County Utilities and City of Fort Myers compliance departments).

Eco-Friendly Disposal: Extracted grease and liquid waste are transported directly to state-licensed receiving facilities for environmentally safe processing and recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

How often should a commercial grease trap be cleaned?

The required frequency depends on your kitchen volume, menu type, and local regulations. Most restaurants need monthly or quarterly grease trap cleaning, while high-volume kitchens may require more frequent service. Regular maintenance helps prevent sewer backups, foul odors, and health code violations.

If you operate a restaurant or commercial kitchen in Southwest Florida, we can recommend the right schedule based on your operation.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned regularly?
 
When grease traps are neglected, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) can overflow into sewer lines. This can lead to:
  • Strong odors in and around your business
  • Drain backups and plumbing damage
  • Failed health inspections
  • City fines or forced shutdowns

Routine grease trap cleaning is far less expensive than emergency repairs or lost business.
 
Do health departments require grease trap cleaning?
 

Yes. Most local health departments and municipalities require commercial kitchens to properly maintain grease traps and grease interceptors. You may be asked to provide service records during inspections. Regular cleaning helps ensure compliance with local codes and prevents violations.
 
Can my staff clean the grease trap themselves?
 

Light daily or weekly maintenance (such as scraping plates and managing strainers) can help, but professional grease trap pumping and cleaning is required for proper removal and disposal of grease waste. Commercial grease traps must be serviced using specialized equipment and disposed of according to regulations.
 

Do you offer emergency grease trap service?

Yes. Grease trap overflows and backups can happen without warning. We offer 24/7 emergency grease trap cleaning for commercial customers to help minimize downtime and prevent further damage.
What areas do you serve?

We provide commercial grease trap cleaning throughout Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Naples, and surrounding Lee and Collier County areas.
How do I schedule grease trap service?

Scheduling is easy. Call us to set up routine maintenance or emergency service, and we’ll create a service plan that fits your business needs.
