Grease Trap Cleaning Explained

What Is a Kitchen Oil Trap (Grease Trap)?

A kitchen oil trap, also known as a grease trap, is a hidden device installed in restaurants, cafes, and commercial kitchens. Its job is simple: catch cooking oil, grease, and fat before they flow into the drainage system. Without it, pipes get clogged, bad smells spread, and costly fines from local authorities can happen.

Why You Need Kitchen Oil Trap Cleaning

Oil and grease harden over time. A trap left uncleaned becomes a ticking time bomb. Problems include:

• Kitchen sink or floor drain backflow
• Bad odour spreading into the dining area
• Cockroach and pest attraction
• Plumbing damage leading to emergency shutdown
  That’s why most F&B outlets are required by law to maintain and clean their grease traps regularly.

Who Should Use This Service

Any business with a commercial kitchen needs this. That includes: Restaurants, cafes, food courts, hotels, catering services, bakeries, and even central kitchens. If your business produces oily wastewater, you need grease trap maintenance.
