A detailed approach that restores the capacity and performance of your system
Complete Grease Trap Cleaning
Our service includes pumping, full emptying, and thorough cleaning of your grease trap by removing accumulated fats, oils, sludge, and solids. This methodical process restores the trap’s original capacity, significantly reduces unpleasant odors, and prevents drain backups that can lead to costly shutdowns. Our operators use proven techniques to clean the walls, bottom, and all internal sections to ensure optimal performance. This level of care results in a cleaner, safer kitchen that meets the expectations of health and municipal authorities.
A cleaning frequency tailored to your needs
Maintenance Adapted to Your Kitchen’s Volume
Every establishment has its own rhythm: number of meals served, type of menu, trap size, hours of operation, and layout. That’s why Sanivac offers personalized maintenance programs, weekly, monthly, or seasonal. This proactive management helps prevent overflows, reduce plumbing wear, minimize odors, and ensure continuous compliance during municipal or public health inspections. With tailored planning, your kitchen stays operational, efficient, and protected from incidents caused by irregular maintenance.
Efficient execution that respects your schedule and minimizes disruptions

We use specialized trucks and equipment designed to work in tight or hard-to-access areas while maintaining a high level of cleanliness and safety. Our approach is designed to minimize the impact on your daily operations, support your staff’s efficiency, and provide consistent service you can rely on.
