Grease Trap Cleaning Services

Grease Trap Cleaning is the cleaning of industrial and commercial pipes, drains and plumbing devices which accumulate grease, dirt, fats and solids, prior to being entered into solid waste disposal systems.

Grease traps are also known as grease inceptors or grease converters. Grease traps are typically placed in the kitchen of a house or building, underneath the sink. Grease traps can be made out of metal, aluminium, plastic or concrete.

Grease trap cleaning is usually undertaken by a plumber or grease trap cleaning professional, however in some circumstances, can be done by the individual. The cleaning of the grease trap typically consists of scooping out, shovelling and removing of any grease or fatty solid build up. In larger commercial kitchens, sometimes an industrial pump is used to cleanse the drains and pipes.

It is important to ensure the grease trap is regularly cleaned, as a blocked or built up grease trap can cause many plumbing issues, as well as occupational health and safety issues, in addition to unpleasant odours. It is also important to ensure that regular maintenance checks are conducted on the grease traps, as there should be no cracks or holes in the grease trap. While grease trap cleaning can be costly to some small businesses, it is essential to a working kitchen.
