Most kitchens think they're getting their grease trap cleaned. They're only getting it pumped. Rusty's delivers full professional cleaning — interior degreasing, baffle service, pipe clearing, and complete odor elimination.

Pumping extracts the liquid and floating waste. Cleaning addresses what comes after: the grease film on the interior walls that pumping never touches, the compacted material around baffles, the bacterial buildup producing persistent drain odor, and the narrowing in the inlet and outlet pipes.
Rusty's Grease Service provides full grease trap cleaning across San Castle, FL that treats pumping as the first step — not the whole job. If your current service stops at extraction, your system is only being half-maintained.
Cleaning starts with a proper pump-out — all three waste layers removed before any surface work begins.
After extraction, we clean the trap's interior surfaces — walls, floor, and lid interior — removing the grease film that accumulates between service visits. This layer is the primary source of bacterial odor and reduces effective capacity.
For traps with significant wall buildup, high-pressure washing clears hardened deposits that hand cleaning can't fully reach.
If your kitchen has persistent drain odor that returns shortly after each pump-out, the source is bacterial colonies in the grease film on the walls. A full cleaning with physical degreasing typically resolves it in a single visit.
Baffles that have never been removed accumulate material that adds structural stress. We regularly find baffles in San Castle, FL that clearly haven't been removed in years.
Health inspectors assess trap condition — not just service frequency. A detailed cleaning record demonstrates actual interior maintenance.
Inlet and outlet pipes narrow over time when not cleared. Routine pipe cleaning as part of our service prevents this progression and the need for major hydro jetting later.
Your grease trap sits in the middle of a connected system. When Rusty's cleans a grease trap in San Castle, we're looking at the full picture — upstream drain lines and downstream outlet connections.
Upstream: Kitchen drain lines carrying FOG-laden wastewater. When these lines accumulate grease, the trap fills faster.
Downstream: The outlet connection toward the sewer. Partial blockages create backpressure and accelerate wear.
Our Approach: If there's something developing in the connected system, we'll tell you. A clean trap feeding into a restricted line doesn't stay clean for long.
Continuous Inspection: The inspection runs throughout the cleaning. We track changes between visits so developing issues show up early in your service record.
Custom Frequency: We don't apply default recommendations. A high-volume fry operation and a light prep kitchen need different schedules. We base frequency on what we actually observe in your system.
Schedule Friendly: Cleaning visits are coordinated to your operating windows — early mornings, between rushes, or post-close. The work fits around your kitchen, not the other way around.
"We'd been getting quarterly pump-outs for three years and still had persistent odor that we assumed was just part of running a kitchen. Rusty's came in, did a proper cleaning, and the odor was gone after one visit. The baffles had never once been removed. That's three years of buildup they cleaned out in a single service call."
"The post-cleaning inspection is what I appreciate most. They confirm the system is actually flowing properly before they leave, not just that the extraction is done. That's professional work."
"The condition tracking across visits has caught two developing issues before they became real problems — a gasket that was starting to fail and a gradual increase in inlet pipe restriction. I didn't know my previous provider was skipping the pipes entirely until Rusty's showed me what it looks like when they're properly cleared."
If your grease trap in San Castle has been pumped but never properly cleaned — or if persistent odor and slow drains are telling you something has been missed — Rusty's Grease Service is ready to do it right.
No half-measures. No leaving the walls coated and calling it done.
