 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a repeat customer in the past. I call today to have my tank scheduled to be pumped, and the first question I was asked was my address. Upon telling the woman that answered the phone my address, her immediate response was, " I'm sure there's someone closer to you that could do it for you cheaper!" I wasn't asking for a quote, I was just wanting to get on the schedule again as I have in years past. Well, now there's one less magnet on my refrigerator (the one given to me by them that I've kept to remind me who to call). Don't understand how they plan to keep customers with this type of customer service. I'll never give them another dollar of mine!

Keep Your Grease Trap Working Properly in Minster, Ohio.

If your business prepares or serves food, your grease trap works every day to capture fats, oils, and grease before they enter your plumbing system. Over time, those materials build up and reduce the trap’s effectiveness. Without regular cleaning, that buildup can contribute to unpleasant odors, slow drains, plumbing backups, and unnecessary interruptions to your business.

Mike’s Sanitation provides professional grease trap cleaning services for businesses throughout Minster. Whether you’re looking for routine maintenance or need service because your grease trap is full, our team works efficiently to help keep your operation running smoothly.

Every kitchen is different. The size of your grease trap, the amount of food you prepare, and the volume of wastewater your business generates all influence how often service should be scheduled. We can help you establish a maintenance plan that fits your operation.
