Why Grease Traps Must Be Installed & Maintained

Any food-related business owner will understand that over the course of a single day, commercial sink drains see a significant amount of grease and oil. Grease traps are designed to capture grease particles before they move deeper into sewer pipes and begin to cause damage and form blockages.

Due to the heavy amount of grease that need to be captured on a daily basis, a grease trap requires frequent cleaning and maintenance. If a grease trap is not working properly due to neglect, the consequences can be steep. According to Seattle Public Utilities, businesses who do not comply with regulations will be charged heavy fines ranging from $250 to $5,000 or, worse, you may even be liable to pay for damages to the municipal sewer system.

Zoom Drain is the type of company you hope to never call, but when you do, you know you're in great hands. We had a clog that was difficult to diagnose and required multiple points of inspection. Anthony did an incredible job making sure to only do what was required and educate us on your plumbing system every step of the way. When it came to the fix, their crew was quick and efficient. We hope to not need their services again, but if we do, we know who to call :)

Kathleen
Still recommending Zoom Drain. The whole experience is/was very, very good. From calling for service and info—the appointment was scheduled for same day, to the dispatch text/info, through the complete service. Trent and his assistant were courteous, quick, thorough, and helpful. And Anthony as well.
Jodi
The Zoom tech Anthony showed up, first impression, clean vehicle and uniform, asked about the issue, I took him to the cleanout and got started, found the problem, cleared it out, showed me on his camera the whole sewer. He said the clog was gone but I still had a problem with the line, it's worn through the bottom of the pipe... He said I have several options for repair... We will see how this develops later.
Vern Beattiger
I was very thankful and impressed with the service I received. Anthony was very helpful. There were more things wrong than we expected, and Anthony stayed longer and helped figure out what was going on. I did not get overcharged, and I am thankful for how smoothly and stress-free the day was.

Zoom Drain saved the day! The other plumber that I booked bailed on me. I called other companies; they wouldn’t be able to do it until after the weekend. But when I called Zoom, they sent Anthony McDaniel the same day! He did my clogged sink in less than an hour; he was very polite, professional, and efficient! I also wanted to thank the lady that I talked to on the phone—my apologies, but I couldn’t remember her name. She was the one that made everything possible. You guys are the best!
Red Capricorn
I just have to say, Anthony came out, apparently the owner of the company, which was extremely professional and amazing. He helped us with the situation we were having at our office. We really appreciate it; if it wasn’t for him, we would be deep, deep in it.
keoni hawelu
Anthony did a great job and was really prompt! He actually responded within an hour after my “emergency call” and had completed the clean out within two hours of notification!
Jeff Darrow
Zoom Drain was fantastic. They arrived within the scheduled time and cleared our floor drain efficiently. They were creative in problem-solving a difficult-to-remove drain cover. The technician was also fun to talk to, very complimentary, and even assisted me in a related task I was blocked on. Anthony is the GOAT!
