Soldier Field Commercial Plumbing, Grease Trap & Hydro Jetting Project
When Chicago's Home Team Needs Reliable Grease Trap Cleaning Services, They Called Suburban Plumbing Experts
Project Overview: Large-scale grease trap maintenance and pump-out services at Soldier Field
Client: Soldier Field Stadium Operations

The Challenge: High-Stakes Commercial Maintenance at Chicago's Premier Venue
When Soldier Field's facilities management team needed a dependable commercial plumbing partner, they needed more than a contractor who could simply clean a grease trap. They needed a team with the experience, specialized equipment, and reliability to handle demanding plumbing and drainage work at one of Chicago's most recognizable venues—without disrupting stadium operations, food service, or event preparations.
The scope of the grease trap work was substantial: 65 grease traps of varying sizes located throughout the stadium's extensive food service areas, including concession stands, kitchens, and premium dining facilities. Each system required careful cleaning and pumping to help maintain proper drainage, manage accumulated grease and waste, and support the venue's demanding operational requirements.
Our work at Soldier Field is also ongoing throughout the year. In addition to grease trap cleaning and pumping, our team performs hydro jetting on major commercial drains when heavy buildup, grease, or other obstructions require high-pressure cleaning. This continued service allows us to address the demanding drainage needs of a major venue while helping keep critical plumbing systems operating properly.
For a facility that hosts major sporting events, concerts, and large crowds, timing and reliability matter. Commercial plumbing maintenance has to be performed efficiently, safely, and with as little disruption as possible—which is why experience and the right equipment are essential.

Commercial Grease Trap and Drain Maintenance FAQs
Proper grease trap maintenance and drain care help commercial kitchens and large facilities manage demanding plumbing systems. Here are answers to common questions about these services.
What does commercial grease trap maintenance include?
Depending on the equipment and service agreement, grease trap maintenance can include removing accumulated fats, oils and grease, pumping out collected waste, cleaning accessible components and checking the equipment for visible problems. The appropriate scope depends on the trap design, usage and condition.
How often should a commercial grease trap be serviced?
Service frequency depends on the size of the grease trap, kitchen volume, the amount of grease entering the plumbing system and applicable local requirements. High-volume food service operations may need more frequent attention. A maintenance schedule should reflect actual operating conditions rather than using the same interval for every facility.
When is hydro jetting appropriate for commercial drains?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove accumulated grease, sludge and other buildup from suitable drain and sewer piping. A plumbing professional should assess the pipe material, condition and obstruction before recommending this method. It is not appropriate for every piping system or every blockage.
Can commercial plumbing maintenance be scheduled around business operations?
Maintenance can often be coordinated around a facility's operating schedule, access requirements and service priorities. Larger venues and busy commercial kitchens may need additional planning to coordinate equipment access and limit disruption. Scheduling options depend on the scope of work and crew availability.
