Grease Trap Maintenance in Cambridge
A managed grease trap program that keeps FOG below the 25% rule, prevents backups, and produces the manifests inspectors and jurisdictions ask for. Built for biotech campuses, university dining, and life-sciences waste handling.
Why Cambridge properties need this
Cambridge's biotech density means the waste stream includes things a typical office building never sees. Drain programs here are calibrated to the actual load, and lab waste handling gets documented separately for compliance.

Grease Trap Maintenance in Cambridge — FAQ
How often should a grease trap be pumped?
The 25% rule is the working standard — pump when FOG + solids reach 25% of interceptor volume. Most commercial kitchens land on a 4–8 week cycle; high-volume operations run more often. We right-size the schedule to your actual interceptor and cover count, not a default.
What documentation do we get for the health department?
Every service produces a digital manifest with volume pumped, condition photos, and disposal chain-of-custody. Inspectors want to see the manifest history, and having it ready on request usually ends the conversation.
Can bio-dosing replace pump-outs?
No. Bio-dosing extends time between pump-outs by digesting FOG in-line, but interceptors still fill with solids and need physical removal. The two work together.
Do you service Cambridge on a regular schedule?
Yes — weekly routes. We route Cambridge weekly for existing accounts and offer same-week site walks for new properties across Kendall Square, Harvard Square, Central Square and the rest of Cambridge.
