Commercial Grease Trap Cleaning Rooted in Larimer County
Jake Harlan started Fort Collins Grease Trap Pros to handle the steady demands of restaurant grease trap cleaning across Old Town, Downtown, Prospect Park, and Harmony. Working from the base at 1618 W Mountain Ave, the team focuses on the realities of serving Colorado State University dining spots and nearby businesses where daily kitchen output builds up quickly in the semi-arid climate.
Cold winters in Fort Collins cause grease to thicken faster inside traps, especially for places near Horsetooth Reservoir or along routes toward Loveland and Windsor, while warm summers increase flow and odor risks. Jake's crew schedules routes to reach these neighborhoods before buildup leads to backups, using equipment suited to the older building stock common in central Fort Collins.
The operation stays hands-on with direct owner involvement on every job, clear scheduling during Mon–Fri 8am–6pm or Sat 9am–2pm, and work that clients can inspect on site rather than relying on distant promises.
I started Fort Collins Grease Trap Pros after years spent working kitchens and maintenance crews around Old Town Square and Colorado State University, where I saw how semi-arid conditions and cold winters thicken grease in traps faster than in milder spots like Loveland or Windsor. Growing up in Larimer County, I knew the older buildings in Downtown and Prospect Park plus newer spots in Harmony needed reliable commercial grease trap cleaning that accounts for those freeze-thaw cycles and local water flow. I run the shop from 1618 W Mountain Ave with hours Mon–Fri 8am–6pm and Sat 9am–2pm because that schedule matches when restaurants actually need service without disrupting their shifts.

What Fort Collins, CO Customers Say
“The grease trap at our Linden Street diner kept backing up into the floor drains during Friday rushes. They pumped out the full load, scraped the walls clean and checked the outlet pipe. Drains have stayed clear through the last three weekends.”
“A café kitchen on West Elizabeth had slow sinks and a strong odor from months of buildup. The crew arrived early, removed the hardened grease layer and flushed the lines. Odor is gone and the health inspector passed without notes.”
“Our south-side brewpub trap was nearly full and starting to push grease into the parking lot drain. They pumped 180 gallons, replaced the worn gasket and left the access lid secure. No more leaks after the Monday lunch shift.”
