Indoor Grease Trap Maintenance: What Every Restaurant Should Know
Indoor Grease Trap Maintenance: What Every Restaurant Should Know
Indoor grease traps are one of the most important components of a commercial kitchen’s plumbing system. They capture fats, oils, grease, and solids before they enter your drain lines, helping your restaurant avoid clogs, odors, backups, and costly plumbing emergencies. Yet despite their importance, indoor traps are often neglected until a major issue occurs.
Why Indoor Grease Trap Maintenance Matters
Every kitchen produces grease—whether from frying, sautéing, dishwashing, or prep work. When that grease enters the drain, it cools, hardens, and sticks to your plumbing system. A properly maintained indoor trap keeps this material out of your pipes, protecting your restaurant from:
- Slow drains and full blockages
- Strong odors that spread through the kitchen or dining area
- Emergency plumbing bills
- Health code violations
Simply put—your indoor grease trap is a small component with a major impact on daily operations.
How Often Should You Clean Your Trap?
Most restaurants should clean their indoor grease trap every 1–3 months. High-volume kitchens, especially those with heavy frying, may need monthly service. If you notice slow sinks, standing water, or foul smells, your trap is overdue for maintenance.
