Preparing El Paso Restaurants for Grand Openings
Recently, CRUD! Septic, Grease & More was hired to clean the grease traps at Kala Restaurant on El Paso’s West Side prior to its grand opening. The location, formerly occupied by another restaurant, had grease traps that had not been cleaned in quite some time.
Upon opening the lids, we discovered a two-chamber grease trap with grease buildup that had hardened almost like concrete. Situations like this require patience, experience, and specialized equipment to safely remove years of accumulated grease without damaging the interceptor.
Despite the cold and rainy conditions, we successfully cleaned both chambers completely, leaving the system ready for opening day.
Commercial Grease Trap Service for Gas Stations and Convenience Stores
Many gas stations and convenience stores operate kitchens or partner with national restaurant chains, making regular grease trap maintenance essential.
During a recent project at a Speedway gas station connected to a McDonald’s location, our team cleaned an exterior grease trap located near the drive-thru. Although smaller in size, these traps still require routine pumping and cleaning to prevent grease buildup and ensure uninterrupted operation.
After pumping the interceptor, we rinsed the walls and vacuumed out the remaining wastewater, leaving the trap clean and ready for continued service.
Interior Grease Trap Cleaning in El Paso
Not all grease traps are located outside. Many restaurants utilize interior grease traps installed beneath sinks, kitchen floors, or food preparation areas.
Before Toastique reopened its El Paso location, CRUD! Septic, Grease & More was called to clean and prepare the grease trap prior to reopening. Fortunately, the trap was not excessively deep, allowing us to quickly clean and restore it so the restaurant could reopen without concerns.
