Grease Traps

Grease traps are essential plumbing devices used in commercial kitchens to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the wastewater system. They work by capturing FOG in a separate compartment, allowing cleaner water to continue through the drainage system. Without a properly functioning grease trap, kitchens can face clogged pipes, bad odors, and costly plumbing repairs—especially in restaurants and other foodservice operations with high grease output.

Grease traps come in various sizes and configurations to match the specific needs of different kitchens. Smaller under-sink models are ideal for compact spaces or low- to medium-volume operations, while larger in-ground or floor-mounted traps can handle higher volumes of waste. Stainless steel models offer durability and resistance to corrosion, making them a reliable option for long-term use. Some units even feature removable baffles and easy-access lids for simplified maintenance.

Installing a grease trap is often required by local health and plumbing codes, and routine cleaning is crucial to maintain proper function. Failing to maintain your trap can lead to backups, unpleasant smells, and even health inspection violations.
