Grease Trap Area Cleaning in Charlotte, NC
To be clear: this is exterior cleaning around the grease trap and lid — we do not pump traps. What we do clean is everything the pumping company leaves behind: the splash radius around the lid, the spill trail to the dumpster, biological growth on the surrounding concrete, and the smell that comes with all of it. We use hot water, an alkaline degreaser, and vacuum recovery so the wastewater never reaches a storm drain.

Charlotte health inspectors notice the area around the trap. So do customers walking past it on the way in. We service restaurants across NoDa, Plaza Midwood, South End, Uptown, and Park Road, plus QSR locations along South Boulevard and Independence. Most accounts pair this with dumpster pad and kitchen exit cleaning on a monthly recurring schedule — that is how you keep the back-of-house from becoming a health-department line item. COI is standard.
