Grease Trap Pumping
Grease traps collect fats, oils, grease, and food solids to keep them from reaching
your septic or sewer system. Over time, that buildup needs to be pumped out to keep
the trap working properly.
C.E. Taylor & Son provides grease trap pumping for restaurants, commercial kitchens,
and other food-service operations throughout Lexington and the surrounding
Midlands.
During a pump-out, we remove the contents of the trap, including accumulated grease
and solids. When heavy grease buildup is affecting the trap or connected lines, high-
pressure water jetting may also be used to help break up buildup.

Stay Ahead of Grease Trap Problems
Waiting until a grease trap backs up can lead to slow drains, odors, clogged lines,
overflowing wastewater, and interruptions to your business.
Signs your grease trap may need to be pumped include:
- Slow-draining sinks or floor drains
- Strong or persistent odors
- Frequent drain clogs
- Grease or wastewater backing up
- Overflow around the trap
Routine pumping helps keep grease buildup under control and reduces the chance of an unexpected problem during business hours.
Establishing a Pumping Schedule
How often your grease trap needs to be pumped depends on the size of the trap, kitchen volume, the amount of grease produced, and applicable requirements. Higher-volume kitchens typically need to be pumped more frequently.
We can help determine a practical pumping schedule based on your operation and keep you on a routine schedule.
