Fred A. Cook Jr., Inc. has served commercial clients — including restaurants, shopping centers, condominiums, and landlords — since 1975. Below are answers to the most common questions we receive from business owners and property managers in the Montrose area.
Yes. Our commercial division provides grease trap cleaning for restaurants, food service facilities, and any commercial kitchen that generates fats, oils, and grease (FOG). We also handle the drain lines that feed into grease traps, including high-pressure jetting to clear accumulated grease buildup from kitchen drain lines.
The generally accepted standard is the “25% rule” — clean the grease trap when the combined depth of floating grease and settled solids reaches 25% of the total liquid depth. In practice, this means most restaurant grease traps need service every one to three months, depending on the volume of cooking and the trap’s size. Some municipalities in Westchester County have their own mandated cleaning intervals, so check with your local authority. We can set up a scheduled maintenance program so you stay in compliance without having to track it yourself.

Yes. We operate four specialized divisions — Septic, Sewer & Drain, TV (Pipeline Inspection), and Vactor — which means a commercial property owner has one contact for septic pumping, grease trap cleaning, drain cleaning, pipeline inspections, and catch basin cleaning. This simplifies scheduling and vendor management significantly.
Yes. We provide sludge hauling for municipal, industrial, and commercial clients who generate large volumes of waste that need to be transported to a licensed disposal facility. This service is commonly used by wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, and large commercial properties.
