What Is a Grease Trap?
A grease trap is a plumbing device that prevents fats, oils, and solid waste from entering the sewer system. Installed in commercial kitchens, it captures grease and food particles before they can cause blockages and backups.
Without a properly functioning grease trap, grease buildup can:
- Clog drains and pipes, leading to slow drainage and expensive plumbing failures.
- Create foul odors and unsanitary kitchen conditions.
- Result in regulatory fines for non-compliance with municipal grease disposal laws.
A properly installed and maintained grease trap protects your plumbing system and keeps your business running smoothly.

How to Maintain a Grease Trap
Once installed, a grease trap requires regular maintenance to function properly and prevent overflows. Follow these best practices:
- Clean & Empty the Trap Regularly – Traps should be emptied before reaching capacity to prevent clogs and odors.
- Scrape Food Waste Off Plates – Reducing solid waste minimizes grease buildup.
- Use Hot Water & Grease-Breaking Detergents – Helps prevent residue accumulation and keeps the trap working efficiently.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance – Routine inspections ensure your grease trap is compliant with local regulations.
An overflowing grease trap can cause serious health hazards and business disruptions. If your trap is clogged, full, or malfunctioning, The Plumbing Source offers professional grease trap cleaning and maintenance to keep your system running efficiently.

Freezing day in NE Ohio, yet we got a tech at our home in under 2 hrs. Pipes unfrozen an hour or so later. Amazing service. Cost didn't matter. But affordable.
Absolute pleasure to work with these guys! You can tell they’re professionals that have been doing this for a while
The guys made extra effort to get to me same day. Made repairs quickly. Answered all my questions. Very polite and professional. Would highly recommend.
I called early in the morning for service to fix a clogged kitchen sink. Johnny & Kyle were quickly dispatched and arrived ready for anything. They did a complete inspection and quickly resolved the problem. Both were confident and knowledgeable about how to repair the situation and did so quickly. Thank you, Plumbing Source!
My technician Brandon Clark was very helpful and offered some solutions without being pushy. I appreciate that he explained things to me so that I would better understand. I will definitely continue to have all my work done through the Plumbing Source!
I have used the for many projects and problems and they always do a great job. They recently repaired my boiler and it's working great. Their boiler man, Dan is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I certainly plan on using again when needed for my plumbing and my heating.
Tyler and his apprentice arrived on schedule and were professional in both appearance and demeanor. They efficiently addressed two issues, provided excellent customer service, and repaired the problems thoroughly. They also cleaned up the work area before leaving, which we greatly appreciated. From the initial call to schedule service through paying Plumbing Source’s reasonable fee, the entire experience was smooth and positive. We will call on them for future plumbing matters.
We had the main valve for the house replaced, cartridges replaced in one bath, an outside faucet replaced and a toilet rebuilt. Maciej and his partner gave us three options on cost and carefully reviewed them. They worked quickly and efficiently using high quality parts. Our house is in better condition because of the work. When they were done, Maciej went around the house and reviewed everything they did. We’re going to ask the Maciej do all the work at our home.
Mack and Casey were very professional, prompt and attentive to our needs. Mack explained issues and possible solutions before starting any work. Once they started working, they worked diligently and finished in a timely manner. We are happy we chose Plumbing Source for our well storage tank (& parts) replacement. We would recommend them.
I have had consistent terrific experience with the plumbing source - from scheduling to clear arrival times to professional experienced team members. A delight to work with!
We probably have the worst well water possible with very high levels of iron. The Plumbing Source experts have the knowledge and expertise to keep our water clear. We don't trust anyone else to take care of us!
Brandon from Plumbing Source!!! Called about a blockage in our main line. Plumbing Source sent Brandon. Main line is operating perfectly again. We cannot thank Plumbing Source enough. Been using Plumbing Source for 7.5 years now. Great Company with great people!
My experience with The Plumbing Source was outstanding! The customer service representative was friendly and very helpful with scheduling an appointment. The service provided by the technicians was outstanding. They took their time to identify the problem, thoroughly explain how they would resolve the problem, provided a quote before any work was done and cleaned up the work space before leaving. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs plumbing services.
Tyler did a FABULOUS job of inspecting everything and helping to determine how to fix my various issues. He was attentive, polite, and very resourceful. Great service! Highly recommend.
Al and Tony were very efficent and informative about what had caused the leak. They came in and quickly determined what the issue was and how to fix it. After they had fixed the leak they cleaned everything up! They were wonderful and I would recommend them 100%.
Jonny was quick, efficient and kind. He came to my home within an hour and fixed my issue within 15 min on Christmas Eve for an affordable price.
They are professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They fixed my 🚿 shower pipe that was disconnected from the main unit in less than hour. I'll definitely use them for many more plumbing issues. The price was super reasonable and the plumbers were super friendly. 👍👍👍
I have been a customer of Plumbing Source for many years and have never been disappointed by their quality of service, timeliness or ability of the technician to relate to me as the customer. Most recently, Dan installed my new kitchen faucet and explained the various functions and how to make minor changes to settings.
Great service from The Plumbing Source. Updated toilets and put in bidet seats. A nice change. The plumber was the best.
Excellent service. I received updated notifications about the technician’s arrival etc And the technician was superb very professional and excellent work. I have worked with other companies but will now be loyal to plumbing source!! 5 stars for Johnny N the technician!!!!
My hot water tank went bad and flooded my basement. After the water was pumped out I called The Plumbing Source. They came out next day with new hot water heater. Installed an A O Smith 40 gal. Install price was very reasonable. LOWE'S estimate was between 7k and 12k. The Plumbing Source much cheaper. The installers were very professional and curtious.
I have used The Plumbing Source for well over 15 years. I have had many different plumbers from the Plumbing Source at the house. Each Plumbing Source plumber has been exceptional. They have all been professional, friendly, and taken the time to explain problems to me. I have always been able to get an appointment in a timely manner. I would never use another plumber. The Plumbing Source has been great.
The Plumbing Source does great work and timely delivery. I have used them frequently through the years and they have not failed.
Had a water leak I thought was from upstairs bath tub vs roof leak. Dan did not rush, was at my home for 2 hours trying to find leak but no leaking pipes found. Also had toilet tank seal and flushing device replaced.
We’ve used them several times and each time they were able to come the same day, had profession and friendly employees, and were a good value!
Tyler was prompt, professional, and helpful! He explained the issue with our shower mechanism thoroughly and sourced the right part quickly. We appreciate his service and definitely recommend The Plumbing Source.
Piotr was able to identify the issue with our sewage system and explain what needed to be done. The quoting process was easy, we were able to accept and fund online. Piotr and his friendly crew took care of all the permits and inspections needed. As the work was being done, he explained what they needed to do and why. We now have a properly working, updated sewage system which was done quickly, professionally and cleanly.
I could not recommend Plumbing Source more. We worked with Al and he was nice, trustworthy and overall extremely helpful. We called and they were at our house the same day within 2 hours. I feel so grateful. Thank you!
Prompt reply, Quick to get service for new garbage disposal installation. , Polite and knowledgeable service man with the product I needed on hand. And he left his workplace clean. Highly recommended!!
