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.

Two employees came out and it was an emergency situation. They handled the situation with professionalism and efficiency. I would highly recommend this company!
The Plumbing guys came out the next day. I received a call in advanced. They fixed the church ⛪️ toilet in 15 minutes. They were friendly and the price did not break the bank. Thanks Tyler L.
The technician that came to my house was Maciej. He did an exceptional job, working over 3 hours and got the problem fixed! I am overjoyed and so grateful as they were so accommodating and overall super wonderful to work with, 100% recommend!!
I have used The Plumbing Source for over 12 years. They have always been very friendly, professional and complete the job on the first trip. They clean up the area being worked on, not leaving a mess for me after they leave. Their scheduling process works very well. You get a couple hour window, a call when they’re on the way to your house and an email with picture/name of person coming to your home. I have given them as a reference multiple times. Everyone was beyond satisfied and has/would use them again.
The guys came right away and worked so hard - they did an awesome job!!! I would highly recommend them. Mario is always professional and reliable!!
I have used the Plumbing Source multiple times and they always do a great job. They also have quick response time.
Excellent Service by Brandon!! We have used plumbing source for over 10 years and are very happy with the service they have provided. ! I will strongly recommend Plumbing source.
Excellent professional and friendly service. Took the time to address all of my questions and concerns . Would highly recommend to family and friends
I am posting for my Mom who had a fantastic service call with Johnny Noonan with Plumbing Source of Bedford Heights. When her water heater leaked and left a puddle on a Sunday morning, panic sets in hoping a replacement can be made quickly! One call on a Sunday with Cindy who was wonderful and set an appointment for Monday, and Johnny Noonan was there to remove the old water heater, retrofit pipes and install the new water heater to fit... and all in less than 3 hours! He was highly knowledgeable, respectful, and simply delightful! Very skilled and answered all of our questions. Strongly recommend! Very happy we called Plumbing Source!
Johnny was fantastic. Thorough, clean, fast service. I will definitely use and recommend using this company in the future!
I could not be more pleased with the service provided by your technician, Brandon Clark. He was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly well organized in his approach to the work he did.
Finding myself in need of a new plumber I reached out to The Plumbing Source who sent Tony DiNardo. He arrived at the scheduled time and I could quickly see he was a versatile and experienced plumber, He immediately identified the problem and solution .He displayed an excellent work ethic along with customer service skills.Nick will definitely be my plumber in the future and I will certainly recommend him to others.
Kyle is a very professional, friendly and patient technician! He did a thorough job to fix our plumbing issue?
I was very pleased with the quick response to situation. It wasn’t a dire emergency but still needed to solve the problem as soon as possible. The service technician Brandon was quick to diagnose the situation and quickly got to work. He was knowledgeable and courteous and overall did a great job. We will definitely use them for any future problems.
Impressed by The Plumbing Source employees willingness to attack a problem in an organized way with sensitivity to my pocketbook. I have found a Plumbing company I can rely upon.
This was the third company we called for the clogged drain. They showed up when promised and with the right tools. Got the job done and left things clean. We are happy with the service and would recommend them.
I had sewage back up in my basement. Come to find out, it was caused by the owner of the new owner of the property beside me. He is building a house quite close to mine. They never rushed, taking the time to properly diagnose the problem. When they found it, they talked to the property owner next door with me (owner of my property) and explained the situation. The plumbers were beyond friendly and professional. They kept me in the loop 100% of the time. My parents have done business with my parents often, so I trust them. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely call them again of needed! ~ Crista Haight

We had a very positive experience with Al Sidoti and his team member. The price was more than we had anticipated but the communication and quality of service was exceptional.
I contacted the Plumbing Source to fix my toilet. Kyle came here. He fixed my toilet in no time. He was very pleasant. I would highly recommend this company. Great service from knowledgeable people.
Multiple time repeat customer. Always professional, personable, trustworthy, and perform quality work. Will continue to use The Plumbing Source for all our home’s plumbing needs. Highly recommend!
Al was on-time, knowledgeable, efficient, and very pleasant. I have some upcoming plumbing projects and will ask that he be assigned to them.
We needed a second opinion and review of some drainage issues we were having. The price for the service was fair. The plumbers were polite, professional and they answered our questions. We were really glad we had them out and will use them for further assistance as needed.
They came out same day to fix an issue with our kids’ shower handle. Super responsive and did a great job. Highly recommend!
Great customer service from the moment I connected with them online through to the technician arrival to my home. Would highly recommend The Plumbing Source.
Last week I had Al and Jack at my house, trying to diagnose the source of water coming into my basement. They spent quite a bit of time determining how the pipes connect and making sure the water is flowing properly through them. I can’t say enough good things about their professionalism, knowledge and genuine concern in making sure they could pinpoint the issue. I may need some work done in the future, and will definitely be calling The Plumbing Source. I highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs.
Magic and the other gentleman sorry I can't remember his name but they were great plumbing source has always been great Thank you very much
Knowledgeable staff..... prompt and professional service..... affordable pricing.....AAA+++....many thanks with our commercial plumbing needs!!!
I hired the company to install a toilet. The service was excellent. Piotr Halgas was the plumber. He was not only very experienced, he was extremely personal to deal with. I recommend the Plumbing Source for future plumbing needs.
The team gave me a reasonable quote and got the work done in a timely and professional manner.
After waiting almost a week for another plumbing outfit to take care of our stopped up kitchen drain, we contacted The Plumbing Source today to see if they could service it sooner. Turns out, there were here within minutes of our call! I described the problem to Maciej and Jack, the two technicians, and they recommended either snaking or jetting the drain line. We opted for jetting, a good thing, as they found a LOT of grease in those pipes. The process of cleaning it out was little more than an hour. They also used a camera to show me the state of the pipe, once it had been cleaned. The flow of the kitchen sink after was a night-and-day difference. Big-time kudos to Maciej, Jack, and The Plumbing Source. They did excellent work!
Great customer service, professional work completed at a fair price. The guys to go to when you need plumbing repairs or installation
Mike and his partner were great. They repaired my master toilet and cleared my kitchen drain in less than an hour. They were both very courteous and professional. I call Plumbing Source for all of my plumbing needs.
We had a backed up Drain scheduled an appointment, then realized it was more of an emergency call back and was able to get a technician out the same day. Plumbing Source has the ability to snake out roots where some of the others that use water pressure to clear drains cannot cut through those roots. Needless to say, they were able to clear the drain in a timely manner
Brandon and Jack worked well as a team to service our tankless water heater. The Plumbing Source did a nice job of installing the tankless water heater about a year and a half ago. It's working great, and we never run out of hot water. They also replaced a 30-year-old PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve). I highly recommend this company. Everyone is professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
