Grease trap cleaning pumps out the grease and food solids your trap has caught. Honey Dippers pumps and cleans grease traps and grease interceptors at restaurants and commercial kitchens. Homes with a grease trap on the kitchen line can call us too. Roderfield sits at the center of our service area in the southern coalfields.
A grease trap catches grease from kitchen sinks and drains before it reaches the line. A clean trap keeps that grease out of the sewer or the septic tank beyond it. If your business is on a septic system, the tank needs commercial septic pumping too.
Tell us about the septic tank, line or grease trap and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
How often depends on the trap's size and how much grease your kitchen sends down the drain. A small trap in a busy kitchen fills faster than a big outside interceptor. A garbage disposal adds ground food, and that fills a trap even sooner.
Many outside traps get pumped on a set schedule, such as every three months. Sewer utility guidance often uses a 25 percent check. When grease and solids fill a quarter of the trap's depth, it is time to pump. Write down every pumping date so the pattern is easy to see.
Under West Virginia's sewage design rule, restaurants and other heavy-grease kitchens need a grease trap. An outside trap must hold at least 150 gallons, and a busier kitchen may need a bigger one. The rule sets no cleaning schedule, but it requires the trap's manhole to stay closed and secured between pumpings. If your kitchen is on public sewer, ask the sewer utility about its grease rules.
A grease trap works by slowing the water down. Grease floats up while food solids settle to the bottom. The cleaner water in the middle leaves through the outlet.
As the grease layer and the solids grow, the water has less time to settle. Grease starts to ride out with the water, then cools and sticks inside the line. Kitchen drains slow down, and floor drains can back up. If wastewater is already backing up into the building, call us for emergency septic service.
On a septic system, grease that gets past the trap lands in the septic tank. The EPA warns that grease and solids can clog a drain field. A failed drain field is a bigger job for a septic installer. On public sewer, the grease builds up in the sewer lines, which is why sewer utilities write grease rules.
We take grease trap calls across McDowell County, Wyoming County, Mingo County, Mercer County and Logan County. Now and then we cross the state line into Tazewell and Buchanan Counties, Virginia. The Wyoming County and Mingo County Health Departments spell out that restaurant and school kitchens need grease traps.
Call or text (304) 436-3409 and tell us where the trap sits and when it was last pumped. If the lid is buried, we dig down to it first. Then we pump out the grease layer and the solids and clean the trap. We secure the lid again before we leave.
If a drain stays slow after a pumping, the clog may sit in the line itself. Describe it on the call, and we can say whether it fits our small plumbing repairs.

We put the quote in writing from what you tell us. Once you say yes, we set a day for the job.
We find the tank on the property and uncover the lid. When the lid is buried, that means some digging.
With the lid open, the truck pumps the tank out.
We put the lid back in place and close up the hole. Keep a note of the date for the next pumping.
