What is a Grease Trap?

A grease trap is a plumbing add-on that collects fats, oils, and grease before they enter your pipes and flow into the sewer. The trap works by slowing wastewater, allowing fats, oils, and grease, otherwise called FOGs in the industry, to solidify at the top of the trap, and skimming these solids out of the water. The trap will then allow the grease-free water to continue down the drain and through to the sewer. These traps are often required because FOGs are the main culprits in sewer backups and blockages and removing them before they enter the sewage system can help prevent these issues. The collected solid waste can then be disposed of by the restaurant or by a professional grease trap cleaning company. It is important to note that a grease trap is not designed to handle liquid oil or grease; this material must be disposed of in accordance with your state or local standards and should never be poured down the drain.

Why Cleaning Out Your Grease Trap Matters

Cleaning out your grease trap is one of the most important jobs your dish team or barbacks can do. Grease traps work by providing a chamber for grease to solidify. If the trap is full, FOGs will work their way into the water system and cause plumbing blockages in your building. Further to that, cleaning the grease trap is going to cut down on foul odors in your kitchen and eliminate the possibility of an overflow situation. Finally, cleaning the trap will help the grease trap last longer, which means our plumbing experts do not need to make costly repairs or replace the trap entirely. 

The Grease Trap Cleaning Process

As a professional plumbing company, our grease trap cleaning process differs slightly from the traditional on-site cleaning you do. However, this is how we clean a grease trap to ensure we know what we are dealing with in terms of maintenance, potential repairs, or replacement. 

First Step

First, we need to inspect the trap and confirm its exact size. We will then get kitted up in PPE, including gloves, goggles, and coveralls, while the system cools down. As well, while we prep for the deep clean, we will run cold water through the system for about 10 minutes to let the fats, oils, and grease congeal, making removal a little easier. 

Second Step

Second, we will start removing the waste with a handy garbage bin nearby. We use a scoop or ladle to remove the vast majority of the floating solids. We will then use our wet/dry vac to suck out the remaining water and solids, ensuring we can reach the bottom of the trap. 

Third Step

Third, we will start removing the stuck-on solids with a screwdriver or scraper. There are always more than you think, and if some of the more stubborn stuck-on portions will not move, we can use our hydrojet and steel wool. Once done, we will thoroughly clean the trap with warm water and soap to get the best possible look at its condition. 

Fourth Step

Finally, our professional plumbing contractors will provide you with a status update on the trap and will provide any potential fixes or repairs that might be needed to keep the trap working as you need it. In rare cases, we may recommend a replacement service, which we can do the same day.

Common Issues with Commercial-Grade Grease Traps

As commercial plumbers, we see a lot of common issues with commercial-grade grease traps that are often very avoidable with regular maintenance and cleanings from your staff or our experienced plumbers. These issues include: 


  • Backups from overfilled traps that are either spilling over the trap or impacting the closing latch. As a rule of thumb, the FOGs should never exceed 25% of the grease trap's volume.   


  • Structural issues with the trap, including rusted lids, broken latches or cracked baffles. These issues can be caught during regular maintenance and cleaning and can be swapped out or repaired quickly. 


  • Improperly sized or installed grease traps. Grease traps, especially commercial-grade grease traps, need to be installed by a professional who can gauge your throughput and properly install the trap to ensure separation efficiency.
