Services & Process

Grease trap cleaning involves pumping out accumulated fats, oils, and grease before they harden and cause blockages or backflow into the municipal sewer system. Dhawk Grease Services handles both indoor under-sink grease traps and large outdoor grease interceptors, which can hold hundreds or even thousands of gallons. They also service septic tanks for properties not connected to city sewer lines. Proper disposal of grease waste is tightly regulated in Texas, and a licensed hauler ensures that material reaches an approved facility rather than being dumped illegally.

Service Area

Dhawk Grease Services is based in South Houston and serves the greater Houston metro area, with strong coverage across Harris County including Pasadena, Deer Park, La Porte, and the ship channel industrial zone. They also reach into parts of Galveston County for commercial clients with ongoing service needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a restaurant grease trap be cleaned in Houston?
The City of Houston typically requires grease traps to be cleaned when they reach 25 percent capacity with fats, oils, and grease. For a busy kitchen, that can mean monthly or even more frequent service, while lower-volume operations might go every 90 days.
What's the difference between a grease trap and a grease interceptor?
A grease trap is a smaller unit usually installed under the sink inside the kitchen, while a grease interceptor is a large underground tank outside the building that handles higher volumes of wastewater. Restaurants with high output typically need an interceptor, which holds far more capacity.
Can a clogged grease trap cause a health code violation?
Yes, a neglected grease trap can lead to sewer backups, odors, and failed health inspections. Houston's environmental services department can issue notices of violation and fines to food businesses that don't maintain their grease control equipment properly.
Do food trucks in the Houston area need grease trap service?
Food trucks that operate out of commissary kitchens are subject to the same grease disposal requirements as brick-and-mortar restaurants. The commissary's grease trap must be sized and serviced appropriately to handle the combined output of all trucks using the facility.
What happens to the grease after it's pumped from the trap?
Licensed haulers are required to transport grease waste to an approved processing facility, where it's often converted into biodiesel or processed at a rendering plant. You should receive a manifest or service receipt confirming proper disposal, which protects you from liability.
How do I know when my grease trap needs to be cleaned between scheduled visits?
Slow drains in the kitchen, gurgling sounds from floor drains, or a strong sewage odor near the trap are signs that it's filling up faster than expected. Don't wait for a backup to call, because a grease overflow creates a much bigger cleanup problem.
