Little Rock, Arkansas, food establishments must prevent grease from entering the local sewer network. Not only is that the rule, but it's also a good idea. Here, we talk about installing grease traps in Little Rock, Arkansas, for new restaurants, renovations, or code compliance. We book grease trap installations in Little Rock, Arkansas, quickly and do our best to accommodate restaurant hours. As a Little Rock licensed plumber, we install grease traps that will pass city inspection.

Kitchens in Little Rock Must Have a Grease Trap

If you have a restaurant or food truck in Little Rock, city regulations may require a grease trap. Little Rock Wastewater enforces FOG (fats, oils, and grease) rules for food establishments.

Not having a grease trap could jeopardize your health permit, and you could be fined or fail an inspection. We see this situation in many restaurants in the area, especially around South Main where high restaurant density means frequent inspections.

We install grease traps in Little Rock that are compliant with Little Rock code requirements. The grease trap you buy is meant to pass inspection and stay passing.

Grease Trap Installation by Licensed Plumbers

You need a licensed plumber to install a grease trap in Little Rock, Arkansas. We pull all required permits for your grease trap and grease trap installation in Little Rock.

We don't hire unlicensed plumbers or subcontractors; our team is fully licensed and background checked and has experience troubleshooting grease traps in commercial kitchens. We install your grease trap to last, and explain everything to you as we go.

Grease Trap Installation Location is Subject to Certain Restrictions in the Kitchen

Where you put a grease trap is as important as how you put it in. The location should be close to where grease is produced and should be easily accessible. Tight access makes pumping the trap difficult and slow.

In older kitchens, such as in some around Hillcrest, the kitchen layout can present challenges in where to place the trap. We've done this before, and we're confident we can find a spot that meets local codes.

Before we begin the job, we walk the kitchen with you, and you'll know where we plan to put the trap and why.

Grease Trap Installation Steps in Little Rock

Grease trap installation in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a straightforward process. We verify that your restaurant requires a grease trap, then we size the trap according to your food production volume. We place the trap in position and hook it up to your plumbing lines.

We check the flow and seal all joints before we declare the job complete, and we coordinate a time with the city to come inspect the trap.

We try to minimize kitchen downtime, so most grease trap installations can be completed in a few days. You'll know the scheduled completion date of the installation and what's involved ahead of time.

A Grease Trap Needs Regular Pumping to Keep it Running

Your grease trap will only work properly if you have it pumped regularly. In Little Rock, most commercial kitchens need grease trap pumping every 1 to 3 months. High-volume restaurants in the downtown area often need it pumped more frequently.

Skipping grease trap pumping can cause sewer line blockages, bad smells, and repeated violations of local codes, and can shorten the lifespan of the grease trap itself.

After we complete your grease trap installation, we can set you up on a grease trap pumping schedule so you won't have to think about scheduling another service call.

Why Local Matters
For Your Plumbing

You could call a big national chain. They'll probably charge you more and send someone who doesn't know Little Rock. Local plumbers understand that homes in Pulaski Heights have different plumbing than new builds in West Little Rock. They know which neighborhoods have older plumbing prone to mineral buildup and which areas tend to have foundation shifts that affect plumbing.

When you call a local company, you get someone who answers the phone and can usually tell you right away what's probably happening and when they can get there. No automated system. No waiting on hold for 20 minutes.

Response times are better too. A local plumber is 15 minutes away, not coming from another city. If you've got a burst pipe or sewage backing up, those minutes matter. Plus, local companies know the city inspectors, understand Little Rock's specific codes, and can get permits processed faster. When you need plumbing work done right and done quickly, local is the way to go.
