Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease trap cleaning involves removing built-up fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from interceptors designed to catch these substances before they enter the city sewer. Regular cleaning prevents blockages, odors, and potential compliance issues.

The frequency of cleaning depends on the size of the grease trap and the volume of grease your operation produces. Typically, grease traps should be cleaned every 1-3 months, but we recommend consulting with our experts to establish a schedule that suits your specific needs to stay complaint with your municipal bylaw

Regular cleaning ensures that your grease trap functions efficiently, preventing costly backups and potential fines from non-compliance with local regulations. It also helps in maintaining a hygienic kitchen environment.

Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to severe blockages, unpleasant odors, Drain Flies and even kitchen closures ordered by health inspectors. It can also cause environmental damage due to untreated waste entering local water systems. It will also lead to fines as per City Bylaws

While minor maintenance can be handled in-house, professional cleaning is necessary to ensure that all components are thoroughly cleaned and in good working condition. Professionals also dispose of the waste in compliance with environmental regulations.

Our service includes pumping out the contents of the grease trap, scraping down buildup, cleaning screens and baffles, and a final inspection to ensure everything is in optimal condition. We also provide documentation to verify that the cleaning was conducted in accordance with local laws.
