Grease Trap Installation in Los Angeles, CA

In-Ground Gravity Interceptor Installation in Los Angeles, CA

Larger restaurants and high-volume kitchens often need an outdoor gravity interceptor. These concrete or polyethylene tanks typically range from several hundred to over 1,500 gallons. We excavate, set the tank on a stable base, connect inlet and outlet piping and install manhole risers. Most homes in Southern California sit on concrete slabs, so slab leaks often show up as warm floors, wet carpet, or an unexplained jump in the water bill. We plan excavation equipment around the ground conditions we find on site. A properly installed interceptor can go far longer between pump-outs than an indoor trap.

Grease Trap Sizing and Placement in Los Angeles, CA

Correct sizing and strategic placement are critical for a grease trap's effectiveness. Installing a unit that is too small will lead to frequent clogs and overflow, while an oversized one can be an avoidable expense. Our plumbers carefully calculate the required capacity based on your kitchen's water flow, fixture count, and operating hours, ensuring optimal performance for your Los Angeles, CA business.

Grease Trap Installation Cost in Los Angeles, CA

Small under-sink hydromechanical traps generally cost much less to install than large outdoor interceptors. Indoor units are typically a few thousand dollars installed, while in-ground interceptors can run well into five figures with excavation and concrete work. Pricing depends on unit size, location, soil conditions and whether we need to cut and patch floors. We give you a written estimate that includes permits and inspection. That way there are no surprises during construction.

New Restaurant Build-Out Grease Traps in Los Angeles

If you are opening a new restaurant, the grease trap is often a key part of plan review. We work with your architect or contractor to size the unit and show it on plumbing plans. We then install it during rough-in so it is ready for inspection. Getting the trap right early avoids expensive changes after the slab is poured. We also coordinate with the city's pretreatment staff when they require a review.

Automatic Grease Removal Units in Los Angeles

Automatic grease removal devices skim grease from the water and collect it in a container your staff empties. Brands like Thermaco Big Dipper are popular in kitchens with limited space and frequent cleaning needs. We install these units with the correct power supply and drain connections. They can reduce the need for frequent pump-outs in smaller kitchens. We explain daily maintenance so your staff keeps the unit running well.
