What a grease trap does
A grease trap slows down the water from your kitchen drains so grease floats to the top and solids sink to the bottom. Cleaner water goes on to the sewer, and the grease and solids stay behind until someone removes them.
When a trap gets too full, grease starts slipping through. That’s when kitchen lines clog and the utility starts asking questions.
- Sinks and floor drains draining slowly
- A strong grease smell in the kitchen
- Grease backing up into floor drains
- Damaged lids or baffles

Grease trap FAQ
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on the size of the trap and how much cooking you do. A common rule is to clean it before grease and solids take up a quarter of its depth. Busy kitchens may need it every few weeks.
What's the difference between a grease trap and an interceptor?
Traps are usually smaller units under or near the sink. Interceptors are big tanks, often outside and underground. Both do the same job.
Do we have to keep maintenance records?
Food service businesses are generally expected to maintain their grease devices and keep records of cleaning. Your sewer utility can tell you exactly what applies to you.
Can we clean it ourselves?
Small under-sink traps can be cleaned in house, but it is messy and the waste has to be disposed of properly. Larger traps need a professional.
