A grease trap is basically an interceptor that is located in a restaurants drains or sewage drains to separate grease, fat, oils and food waste from water.

Most grease traps are located inside of the property kitchen or sometimes outside the kitchen areas. The majority of big restaurants, colleges and schools have the grease trap located outside hidden in the ground. Smaller restaurants and other businesses may have the grease trap located inside.

Why does the Grease Trap need Cleaning?

If a grease trap is not regularly cleaned it can cause a number of problems later on. If the levels of the collected waste are not cleaned regularly or controlled. This can have bad effects and can cause drain blockages, waste coming back up the drains, strong smelling odours and fatty waste escaping into the drainage system.
