Solid Plumbing & Drains handles routine grease trap service as well as plumbing problems affecting traps, interceptors, and connected drain lines. Depending on the condition of your system, our plumbers can provide pumping and cleaning, clear grease buildup from drain lines, inspect damaged components, or complete repairs, replacements, and new installations.
Grease trap problems can show up in different ways, and the right service is not always obvious. If you’re dealing with slow drains, odors, backups, recurring grease buildup, or a damaged trap, our plumbers can inspect the system and help determine the appropriate next step.
Grease buildup in the trap or connected drain lines can restrict flow and cause sinks or floor drains to empty slowly.
Persistent odors near drains or the grease trap can be a sign that the system needs attention.
Water or waste backing up into sinks, floor drains, or around the trap may indicate that the system is no longer draining properly.
If slow drainage or backups keep coming back, there may be an issue beyond routine pumping or cleaning that needs to be evaluated.
Cracks, leaking connections, damaged lids, or deteriorated components may require plumbing repair or replacement rather than routine cleaning alone.
Every plumbing problem is different. You don’t need to know exactly what service your grease trap needs before calling. Tell us what you’re experiencing, and we’ll schedule an on-site inspection to identify the problem and recommend the right service.
Let us know about any backups, odors, slow drains, grease buildup, damaged equipment, or other problems you're experiencing. This helps us understand what may need to be inspected.
We schedule a time for our plumbers to inspect the grease trap or interceptor and evaluate the connected plumbing for problems affecting the system.

The tech was prompt and did excellent work.
Michael Jones
I had solid plumbing & drains come out to make some repairs on the drains for both my toilets and replaced my outdated laundry box that was not working. The techs Emmanuel and Mario were so professional, fast, and knew exactly what the problem was. They even went the extra mile and hooked up my washer and dryer once they finished the repairs. Everything works perfectly now. Solid service, fair pricing, and real attention to detail. I’d highly recommend them.

I needed a plumber to take care of a main line back-up on a Saturday. The team responded promptly, was very professional, and took care of the issue all in one visit. Thank you!
Jennifer French
I had some landscape drain problems. Had one of the TV big company over and they essentially said they needed to bust up my concrete patio etc etc and they would not touch a lateral drain. Got in touch with Mario and had a great conversation with him on the problem. He came over with his crew Emanuel and Angel. Mario diagnosed the issue and created a plan of attack. The main drain line was full of roots but he got them and the issue if FIXED. They were pleasant to deal with, very professional and did a great job. I will definitely go back to them for any further inside or outside plumbing problem! Thank you Mario!

Mario and his crew were extremely professional and very thorough during their job. We had sewage back ups and burst pipes and they worked quickly to get the job done. I would 100% recommend Mario to anyone with plumbing concerns.

Solid Company & Drains Representatives reported as scheduled and came with an attitude of getting the job done. They secured their ladder, hopped up in the attic and within 5 minutes Mario had determined the problem. He took pictures of the area and sent them to me on my phone. He explained each photo. Incredible! Additionally, he suggested that I get a specialty company to use special tools to determine if there is additional water damage in the wall area that they could not see. I really appreciated that suggestion. Thanks to Mario and Angel for their professionalism, friendly attitude, and great plumbing skills!

Emmanuel and Angelo are the best team! They showed up at my house in El Cajon within 30 minutes of calling. We had been dealing with this issue for almost a year, and they were the first ones to actually figure it out. They ran a camera down the drain, found the clog right away, cut out the damaged pipe, and replaced everything properly. Great pricing, super professional, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Solid Plumbing & Drains!

i hired Mario and his crew (Emmanuel and Angel) today for a landscape drain issue after turning away one of the big TV companies that essentially refused the work. Mario showed up on time, reasonably diagnosed the issue and made a game plan. In the end he was able to clear the problem! They left the job clean. very professional and job well done! thank you!!!

Linda A.Verified
I had a patio drain that was very sluggish. Mario and Angel came and took 2 hours unblocking a mountain of mud from down the line. They were professional, resourceful using multiple pieces of equipment and persistent working till the blockage finally gave way.They also had to go through my house to get to drain and they were very neat laying down plastic to protect my floors. I am a very happy and highly recommend them.

San Diego food-service businesses have local requirements for controlling fats, oils, and grease before they enter the wastewater system. Properly maintained grease traps and interceptors help protect your plumbing, reduce grease-related drainage problems, and keep the system operating as intended.
San Diego food-service establishments are required to use appropriate grease-removal equipment where cooking fats, oils, and grease can enter the wastewater system.
Grease-removal equipment must be maintained in efficient operating condition. Depending on the system and amount of grease generated, that can include periodic cleaning or complete pumping of the interceptor.
New commercial food-service establishments, remodels, and retrofits may require FEWD plan review, and the City states that new or replacement grease traps and interceptors require Public Utilities approval.
Helpful plumbing guides, San Diego resources, and related services for businesses managing grease traps, interceptors, grease buildup, and commercial drainage problems.
Service frequency depends on the size of the system and how quickly grease and solids accumulate. Our team can inspect the trap and recommend an appropriate schedule.
Both separate fats, oils, and grease from wastewater. Grease interceptors are generally larger systems used for higher-volume commercial applications.
No. Pumping removes waste from the trap or interceptor, while hydro jetting clears grease buildup from connected drain lines.
Repair may be enough for localized damage or serviceable components. Replacement may be needed when the unit is deteriorated, repeatedly failing, or no longer suitable for the property.
Yes. We install and replace grease traps and interceptors for commercial properties throughout San Diego.
