Methods and tools used
Vacuum pump unit
Draws liquid grease and sludge together without spillage or odour spreading into the kitchen
High-pressure water jet
Strips congealed grease from interior walls and the outlet drain line after pumping
In-line inspection camera
Films the outlet drain before and after so the owner sees the result on screen
Manual sludge scraper
Removes caked sludge from corners and the trap floor that suction alone cannot reach
Common mistakes with grease trap servicing
Skimming the surface only
Leaving floor sludge behind blocks the outlet line again within days
Ignoring the outlet line
Cleaning the trap without checking the outlet line leaves grease build-up downstream
Hot water flush alone
Hot water melts grease temporarily; it re-solidifies further along the drain pipe
No servicing schedule
A busy kitchen without a regular schedule overflows grease into the public sewer network
How the service is done right
A commercial kitchen grease trap receives heavy oil and fat loads every day. Grease floats and solidifies against the walls while solids settle on the floor. Correct servicing starts with a camera pass along the outlet drain to see how far grease has reached beyond the trap itself. The crew then vacuums both the floating layer and the floor sludge, scrapes the walls manually, and follows with a high-pressure water jet to clear residual film from every surface.
After cleaning, the camera makes a second pass through the outlet line while the owner watches the same screen. If the camera shows grease deposits further along the drain, the crew jets that section in the same visit. The internal baffles are also checked because a broken baffle lets grease pass straight through without settling, which accelerates blockages downstream and defeats the purpose of having the trap at all.
How often a trap needs servicing depends on kitchen volume, operating hours and cooking method. A kitchen that fries heavily fills a trap much faster than one focused on grilling. Waiting until odour appears or the drain backs up means grease has already reached the pipe network beyond the property boundary, which is harder to clear. A regular service interval keeps the trap within its working capacity and protects the wider drain system from accumulation.

How do I know the grease trap needs servicing before it causes a problem?
Strong odour from the drain, slow sink drainage or water backing up are the clearest signs. The better approach is regular servicing before these appear, because a full trap pushes grease into the outlet line before any visible symptom shows.
Can the trap be serviced while the kitchen is still operating?
Servicing during a quiet period or before a shift starts is preferable because pumping and scraping release temporary odour. For emergency blockages, the crew attends at any hour regardless of operating status.
Are the internal baffles checked as part of the service or as a separate extra?
Baffle inspection is part of every standard visit. A broken baffle lets grease bypass the trap entirely, making the cleaning pointless. Any fault found is reported to the owner immediately during the same visit.
Is a restaurant grease trap different from what a home kitchen uses?
Yes. A commercial trap is larger and receives far higher oil and solid loads. It requires more powerful suction equipment and more thorough manual scraping. Outlet line inspection matters more here because the volume of grease that can escape into the drain is significantly greater.
Do you offer a regular scheduled service for restaurants?
Yes, a scheduled cleaning interval can be arranged based on kitchen volume and cooking type. A fixed schedule protects the drain line and prevents sudden blockages that shut the kitchen down at the worst possible moment.
Is cleaning the grease trap alone enough to remove drain odour from the kitchen?
If the odour source is grease build-up inside the trap, yes. If smell persists after cleaning, the cause may be a grease deposit further along the drain, a broken baffle or a dry trap. A camera check identifies the exact source.
