Professional Grease Trap and Interceptor Cleaning for Seattle Businesses
Grease traps are a compliance requirement for Seattle restaurants, commercial kitchens, food service operations, and many other businesses that discharge fats, oils, and grease into the sewer system. A neglected grease trap creates odor problems, drain backups, and potential health code violations. Beacon Plumbing's licensed commercial plumbing team provides professional grease trap pumping, cleaning, and inspection for Seattle businesses of all sizes.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a grease trap be cleaned at a Seattle restaurant?
Seattle and King County regulations require grease traps to be pumped and cleaned frequently enough to prevent grease from passing into the sewer system. For most Seattle restaurants, this means cleaning every 1-3 months depending on the volume of cooking and the size of the trap. King County has issued fines to businesses whose grease traps overflow or allow grease to enter the sewer, so maintaining a regular cleaning schedule with documentation is essential.
What documentation is required for grease trap cleaning in Seattle?
Seattle and King County require businesses with grease traps to maintain service records documenting the date of cleaning, the volume of waste removed, and the service provider. Beacon Plumbing provides full documentation with every grease trap service call for the business's health department and compliance records. This documentation may also be requested during a health inspection.
What happens if a Seattle restaurant does not clean its grease trap?
A neglected grease trap at a Seattle restaurant will eventually overflow, allowing fats, oils, and grease to enter the municipal sewer system. This can result in fines from King County, drain line backups that disrupt food service operations, and potential closure orders from the health department. Beacon Plumbing provides both emergency grease trap response and scheduled maintenance to help Seattle businesses stay compliant and avoid interruptions.

What Seattle customers are saying
Thousands of verified reviews from homeowners and businesses across the Puget Sound.
"Beacon has been cleaning our grease trap on a regular schedule for two years and we have never failed a health department inspection related to grease management. They arrive when they say they will, do the work thoroughly, and provide the documentation King County requires. For a restaurant, compliance is not optional and Beacon makes it easy to stay on top of it."
Rosa M. | International District, Seattle | Restaurant grease trap, health inspection prep
"Our grease trap overflowed during a Friday dinner service and the smell was affecting the dining room. Beacon was the only company that answered at 7pm on a Friday. They were there in under an hour, pumped and cleaned the trap, checked the drain line downstream, and had us back in operation within two hours. Outstanding emergency response."
James T. | Belltown, Seattle | Emergency grease trap overflow
"We opened a new restaurant on Broadway and Beacon set up our grease trap maintenance schedule from the beginning. They assessed the trap size relative to our projected covers and recommended a cleaning frequency that keeps us in compliance without overpaying for service we do not need. Smart, professional, and genuinely helpful for a new operator trying to navigate all the regulations."

A message from the owner
Built on hard work and a commitment to this community
Bill Cahill started Beacon Plumbing in 1995 with five trucks and a simple philosophy: hire great people, work hard, and treat every customer the way you would want to be treated. Thirty years later, that philosophy has not changed. What started as a small Seattle operation has grown into a team of 100 licensed, bonded, and insured technicians working around the clock to serve homeowners and businesses across the Puget Sound.
Bill believes deeply in giving back to the community that has supported Beacon's growth. Over the years, Beacon has sponsored the Miss Beacon Plumbing hydroplane at Seattle Seafair, supported Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound in the fight against human trafficking, donated musical instruments and a music teacher to St. George School, and partnered with Northwest Harvest, Ronald McDonald House, and Mamma's Hands. The Seahawks and Mariners logos on Beacon trucks are not just sponsorships - they are a reflection of Bill's pride in Seattle and the people who call it home.
When you call Beacon Plumbing, you are not calling a national franchise. You are calling a company that was built here, employs your neighbors, and is invested in this region for the long haul.
