Straight answers about repairing a commercial grease trap in Houston, what the city’s rules require, and what to do after a failed inspection.
We clean and degrease the trap, repair all the holes and cracks, rebuild broken walls, then coat the whole trap. It’s done overnight, and the trap is ready the next morning.
Holes and cracks, corrosion, and anything inside the trap: baffle walls, inlet and outlet pipes, T-pipes, deflectors, the floor and the walls. We repair cast concrete, steel and fiberglass traps of all sizes, underground or above ground.
If it’s leaking from the bottom or the sides, or into the ground, acid may have eaten through the walls or floor, or the trap has cracked. That’s damage, and it can be repaired. If it’s overflowing from the top, the trap may be full or the pipe after it blocked, which is a job for your pumping company, or for sewer line jetting.
At least every 90 days, as a full pump-out (§ 47-512(b)). Sooner if grease and solids fill 25% of the trap’s wetted height, if what leaves the trap is over the city’s grease limit, or if there’s a history of non-compliance (§ 47-512(c)). And at least every 180 days the trap must be emptied, cleaned, inspected and repaired if needed (§ 47-512(f)).
At least once a year. The city code requires it, and the inspection includes checking how often your trap is cleaned (§ 47-561).
Houston and nearby cities, including Baytown, Pasadena, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands and Conroe. If you’re not sure we cover you, call and ask.
Call any time, day or night. A technician looks at the trap on site, and the inspection is free.
