Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Maintenance

Maintaining the grease traps is essential for commercial kitchens to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from getting washed down the drain and entering the plumbing and sewer systems. If FOG is washed down the drains, it can lead to clogs, pollute the natural environment, and potentially result in fines for failing to comply with local regulations.

Grease traps separate FOG from wastewater with internal baffles and capture the grease until it can be safely removed. Routine cleaning and maintenance are crucial to keep the traps functioning properly, prevent blockages, and avoid costly repairs. Ignoring grease trap cleaning and maintenance can result in:

• Contaminated surfaces and health risks
• Strong, unpleasant odors
• Flooded kitchens
• Expensive cleanup and repair bills
• Regulatory penalties
• Temporary or permanent closure of your business
