Clean it, fix it, or size it right?
What your trap needs
Most trap calls are one of three things and it is usually obvious once we have the lid off. We tell you which before we quote it.
CLEAN
The trap is sound and simply full. Full pump-out of fats, oils and grease, walls and baffles cleaned, inlet and outlet checked, waste hauled and documented.
REPAIR
Broken baffle, failed gasket, cracked lid or a blocked inlet line. Parts replaced so the trap actually separates again.
UPSIZE
The trap is too small for your volume, so it clogs no matter how often it is cleaned. We calculate the required size and install the right unit.

Why Acadiana kitchens run hard on traps
The food here is the food here
Fryers, roux and seafood mean a genuinely high grease load. National service intervals are optimistic for an Acadiana kitchen.
Heat speeds everything up
Warm grease travels farther down the line before it congeals, so an underperforming trap shows up as a main line clog rather than a trap problem.
Inspections are documented
Health inspectors want a record, not an assurance. Every service we do leaves you paperwork you can hand over.
How a grease trap service goes
- You bookBook online any time, or call. Emergencies are answered 24/7. Tell us your service hours and we schedule around them.

- We inspect the hardwareBaffles, gaskets, lids and lines. Anything failed is priced in person before we replace it.

BOOK ONLINEGrease trap questions we get every week in Lafayette and Youngsville
How often does a grease trap need cleaning?
It depends on your volume and your menu. Busy kitchens here often run monthly, lighter operations quarterly. We look at how full yours is at each service and give you an interval based on your kitchen rather than a generic schedule.
Can I just pour an enzyme down it?
No. Additives move grease downstream instead of removing it, which turns a trap problem into a main line problem and can put you out of compliance. The grease has to come out.
Do you provide records for the health inspector?
Yes. Every service leaves you a documented record of the cleaning and the disposal, which is what an inspector is looking for in your logbook.
Why does my trap clog even though we clean it?
Usually because it is undersized for your volume, or a baffle is broken so it never separates properly. Both are fixable, and both are cheaper than a shutdown.
