Understanding Grease Trap Function and Care
Let’s be honest – grease traps aren’t the most glamorous part of running a commercial kitchen. But these essential systems protect your plumbing while keeping your kitchen running smoothly. A well-maintained grease trap captures fats and oils before they can wreak havoc on your pipes and sewer system.
Signs Your Grease Trap Needs Attention
Unpleasant Kitchen Odors
When grease traps fill up, they become breeding grounds for bacteria that produce foul odors. These smells can permeate your entire kitchen and dining area, potentially driving away customers and creating an unpleasant work environment.
Reduced Operational Efficiency
Full grease traps slow down your kitchen’s drainage system. When water backs up during peak service times, it affects everything from dishwashing to food prep. This backup creates delays that impact your entire operation.
Risk of System Failure
Neglected grease traps don’t just smell bad – they can lead to complete system failure. As grease hardens and accumulates, it becomes increasingly difficult to remove. What starts as a simple maintenance issue can escalate into a need for expensive kitchen renovations.
Plumbing System Protection
Your kitchen’s plumbing system is interconnected. When grease traps overflow, they send fats and oils into your pipes, creating blockages throughout the building’s plumbing. Professional cleaning prevents these costly complications.

- Eliminates offensive odors
