Free Grease Trap Cleaning Service Agreement

One grease overflow will drown your margins in health department fines and a slip-and-fall lawsuit that'll bankrupt your legacy. If that trap isn't cleared, you're one backup away from the city shuttering your doors and seizing your equipment.

Pro Contractor Tip

Include an 'Indemnification Clause' to protect yourself from any environmental fines or property damage resulting from the client's neglected, corroded hardware.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Grease Trap Cleaning, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I find the trap is packed with hardened grease that takes three extra hours to break up?

Your contract needs an 'Excessive Solids' surcharge; if you don't define what constitutes a standard clean versus a heavy-duty remediation, you're eating the labor costs for the client's neglect.

The kitchen manager wants me to snake the floor drains for free while I'm already on-site.

Stick to the 'Scope of Work' defined in your agreement; clearly stating that additional plumbing services are billed at a separate hourly rate prevents 'scope creep' from killing your afternoon.

How do I stop them from dodging the bill once the trap is empty and the smell is gone?

Mandate 'Payment on Completion' in the terms so you don't load your hoses back on the truck until the check is in your hand or the digital payment is confirmed.
