What to Look for in a Local Grease Trap Cleaning Company
Not every company that shows up in a local grease trap search is qualified to do the work correctly. Calgary's Wastewater Bylaw 14M2012 requires that grease trap waste be hauled by a licensed liquid waste hauler — not just any cleaning or plumbing contractor. Here's what matters when you're choosing a local provider.
Licensed liquid waste hauler — required by law
Only a licensed hauler can issue the disposal manifests required by the City of Calgary. A service receipt from an unlicensed contractor doesn't satisfy bylaw documentation requirements.
Proper vacuum trucks — not general vans
Grease trap cleaning requires dedicated vacuum equipment to fully pump out trap contents. General service contractors with wet-vacs don't provide a complete pump-out.
FOG measurement and documentation
Every legitimate service should measure your trap's FOG percentage before and after cleaning. That measurement is what triggers the cleaning requirement and validates your record.
Local and reachable for emergencies
A national franchise or out-of-market contractor is hard to reach when a backup happens at 10pm on a Saturday. Local matters when you need someone fast.
Verifiable track record in Calgary
Ask how long they've been operating in Calgary specifically. GDM Vac has been serving Calgary commercial kitchens since 2013 with documented service records you can verify.
