COMMERCIAL WASTE SYSTEM SERVICE

KEEPING COMMERCIAL WASTE SYSTEMS WORKING LIKE THEY SHOULD

Grease traps and sand traps are designed to capture waste before it reaches downstream plumbing and wastewater systems—but they need regular pumping and cleaning to keep doing their job.

HEI provides grease trap and sand trap pumping, cleaning and maintenance for restaurants, commercial kitchens, car washes, service facilities and other businesses throughout Silver City and southwest New Mexico. Our team removes accumulated grease, solids, sediment and other waste to help keep systems operating properly and reduce the risk of backups, odors and unexpected problems.

Grease Interceptor Service

Grease interceptors handle larger volumes of wastewater and require routine pumping and cleaning to manage accumulated fats, oils, grease and solids.

HEI provides grease interceptor pumping, cleaning and maintenance for restaurants, commercial kitchens and other high-volume food-service operations throughout southwest New Mexico.

03

Grease & Sand Trap FAQs

ANSWERS FOR KEEPING YOUR KITCHEN OPEN & COMPLIANT

  • The appropriate service frequency depends on kitchen volume, system size, the amount of grease and solids produced, and the needs of the facility. Busy commercial kitchens may require more frequent service. Routine pumping and cleaning is the best way to stay ahead of excessive buildup, backups and other grease-related problems.

  • HEI services grease traps and larger grease interceptors across a range of sizes and configurations. Because every facility and system is different, service frequency and maintenance needs should be based on the specific setup and how heavily it is used.

  • Fats, oils and grease can cool and accumulate inside plumbing, contributing to buildup and blockages over time. Grease traps and interceptors are designed to capture these materials before they move farther into the wastewater system, which is why proper use and routine maintenance are important.

  • Commercial food-service facilities may be subject to local wastewater, grease-control and maintenance requirements. Requirements can vary by location and type of operation, so businesses should follow the rules that apply to their facility. Routine grease trap maintenance can help keep the system in serviceable condition and make maintenance more predictable.

  • Persistent odors, slow drainage, backups, reduced capacity and excessive grease or solids inside the trap can all indicate that service is needed. Routine pumping and cleaning can help remove accumulated waste before these symptoms develop into larger problems.

  • Yes. HEI can coordinate recurring grease trap and interceptor pumping and cleaning based on the system size, kitchen volume and needs of the facility.

  • A sand trap is designed specifically to capture heavier solids such as sand, grit and sediment from wastewater. Car wash pits are broader collection or settling areas that may accumulate sand, dirt, sludge and other waste produced by car wash operations. Depending on the facility, both may require periodic pumping and cleaning.

  • Yes. HEI provides sand trap and car wash pit pumping and cleaning for car washes, automotive facilities and other commercial operations throughout Silver City and southwest New Mexico.
