Grease Trap Repairs and Installations on Cape Cod
Your Trusted Wastewater Partner on Cape Cod
Your grease trap is the one piece of equipment standing between your kitchen and a backed-up drain, a failed inspection, or a fine from the Board of Health.
When it clogs, leaks, or overflows, it needs attention fast. Shore Things Environmental repairs, installs, and cleans grease traps for restaurants, hotels, and commercial kitchens across Cape Cod, and we get a real person on the phone when you call.
Whether you run a busy restaurant, a hotel with an on-site kitchen, or a banquet operation, and whether your trap needs a repair today, a full replacement, or a regular cleaning schedule, one call handles it.
Common Grease Trap Problems
Most grease trap trouble comes down to buildup and wear. The issues we see most often include:
- Clogs and slow drains, when grease and solids fill the trap past capacity and back up into your kitchen lines.
- Leaks and cracks, from age, corrosion, or a trap that was undersized for the volume it handles.
- Overflows and odors, usually a sign the trap is overdue for cleaning or is no longer working the way it should.
- Failed inspections, when a trap is not maintained to your town’s standard and puts your permit at risk.
We find the cause, explain it plainly, and fix it with as little disruption to your service or your guests as possible.
What We Do
Grease Trap Repairs. We diagnose and repair clogs, leaks, cracked fittings, and worn components, and get your trap back in working order quickly.
Grease Trap Installation. If your trap is failing, undersized, or your kitchen is expanding, we install a new one sized correctly for your volume and set up to meet local code.
Grease Trap Cleaning. Most emergency repairs trace back to a trap that was not cleaned on schedule. We clean and pump traps on a routine built around your kitchen, so grease never gets the chance to cause a backup.
Stay Compliant, Stay Open
Cape towns’ Boards of Health enforce grease trap maintenance, and the common standard is the 25 percent rule: once grease and solids reach a quarter of the trap’s capacity, it needs cleaning. For most kitchens that means cleaning about every one to three months.
Volume drives the schedule.
A high-turnover restaurant and a hotel kitchen heading into peak season both need to stay ahead of buildup, and a set cleaning routine keeps you under the threshold, keeps your paperwork in order, and keeps you off the emergency call list. It is the difference between a planned visit and closing your kitchen during a dinner rush or a full weekend. We will set a schedule sized to your volume so you do not have to track it yourself.
