If the answer is "the liquid and floating waste," that's a partial service. A complete grease trap pumping removes all three layers — the floating FOG, the middle effluent, and the settled solids at the bottom — inspects the components that affect how the system performs, and documents the result.
Cari Grease Services provides grease trap pumping across Solvay, NY that covers the full scope. When we pump a trap, you know exactly what was removed, what condition the system is in, and when the next service is due. No guesswork. No gaps.
We build and manage your pumping schedule based on your kitchen's actual FOG accumulation rate. The right interval keeps your trap operating within its design range — not constantly close to capacity.
FOG floats. Solids sink. The effluent layer sits between them. All three come out. Pumping that removes only the visible surface layer leaves settled waste behind, which compresses over time and reduces effective trap capacity.
Before we begin, we check the current fill level, inlet and outlet flow, baffle condition, and lid seal integrity. This tells us what we're working with before the pump starts.
After extraction, we inspect the cleaned system and document everything: waste volume removed, component conditions, any issues flagged, and the next recommended service date. The report is issued before our team leaves.
Baffles are checked and cleaned on every pumping visit. A displaced or damaged baffle means the trap is not separating waste properly. When replacement is warranted, we document it and provide clear options.
Both pipes are cleared as part of standard service. A partially blocked outlet pipe creates backpressure that accelerates wear on the entire system.
We apply deodorization treatment as standard after every pump-out — addressing the bacterial source of grease trap odor rather than masking it.
When a trap reaches capacity unexpectedly, we dispatch on a priority basis. Emergency pumping is available across Solvay for active backup and imminent overflow situations.
Every visit generates a written service report structured for health department review in Solvay, NY. Formatted for compliance from the start — not assembled on request.
Think of grease trap pumping the way you think about an oil change. The engine keeps running between changes, but it's accumulating material that needs to be cleared at a calibrated interval.
Pumping resets your trap's capacity. Done on the right schedule — one calibrated to your kitchen's actual daily output — it keeps the system operating cleanly and keeps your compliance record current.
What pumping addresses directly: accumulated FOG, sludge, and solids. What pumping alone doesn't fully address: wall buildup inside the trap, drain line grease accumulation upstream, and baffle integrity over time.
Most operators inherit a service interval rather than establish one. A previous provider set a frequency, and it's been carried forward ever since — regardless of whether the kitchen's output, menu, or staffing has changed since.
Here's the consequence: a trap operating on a schedule that's two to three weeks too long for actual output is consistently running near capacity. It's not failing — it's just perpetually close to the threshold where it does.
In Solvay, we review pumping frequency as part of every service visit. If the trap is arriving at service consistently fuller than it should be, we tell you and recommend an adjustment.
"We had three providers in two years before finding Cari Grease. The first two pumped the trap and left. Cari Grease pumped the trap, showed me that one of the baffles was cracked, explained what that meant for our system, and fixed it on the same visit. That's what a proper service call looks like."
— Emmanuel S., Restaurant Owner — Solvay"We run high-volume service every weekday. Our previous interval wasn't keeping up. Cari Grease moved us to a six-week schedule and the slow-drain issues we'd been tolerating for two years stopped immediately. Wish we'd made the change sooner."
— Ifeoma N., Cafeteria Director — Solvay, NY"Managing service across multiple locations used to mean chasing two different providers for documentation. Cari Grease handles all of our sites with one contact point and consolidated reporting. The compliance process is significantly simpler."
