Professional Grease and Cooking Oil Services

Used Cooking Oil Collection and Recycling

Our main focus is helping businesses manage and recycle used cooking oil safely and responsibly. We provide collection containers, scheduled pickups, and eco-friendly recycling that turns waste oil into renewable products like biofuel. Every gallon is handled properly to keep your kitchen efficient, compliant, and sustainable.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease traps need consistent maintenance to keep plumbing clear and businesses compliant. Our team handles pumping, cleaning, and inspections to prevent costly backups and fines. Every service includes detailed records for health and environmental compliance, giving owners peace of mind and one less thing to manage.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting keeps drains clear and efficient using high-pressure water to remove grease, sludge, and debris safely. It’s a proactive way to stop clogs, odors, and plumbing issues before they start. Restaurants and commercial kitchens across Houston rely on hydro jetting for clean, reliable drainage year-round.

Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is the best way to keep exteriors clean and professional. Our eco-friendly cleaning removes grease stains, dirt, and debris from dumpster pads, parking lots, and buildings. Regular service reduces odors, prevents slip hazards, and leaves your business looking sharp and inviting.

FOG Waste Management

FOG waste management is the proper handling, collection, transport, and disposal of fats, oils, and grease generated during food preparation and cleanup. In Houston, FOG must be captured before it enters the sewer system to protect infrastructure and prevent environmental damage.
