Reasons Why Grease Trap Cleaning is Key

Grease trap cleaning is essential to the functionality of your system. Failing to clean your grease traps can potentially lead to:


  • Unpleasant lingering odor – Neglecting to clean your grease traps can lead to foul odors that permeate the kitchen and dining areas, making it uncomfortable for staff and guests. The trapped grease and food particles decompose over time, creating a persistent and unpleasant smell that can be difficult to remove.

  • Major health concerns – A buildup of grease and waste in your traps can create an ideal environment for bacteria, mold, and pests. This can pose serious health risks, as grease traps become breeding grounds for harmful microorganisms. Regular cleaning helps maintain a safe and sanitary environment and ensures compliance with health regulations.


  • Damage to pipes (which can be costly) – Without routine maintenance, hardened grease accumulates and clogs pipes, leading to water flow issues and potential backups. This can result in costly repairs or even the need to replace sections of your plumbing system.
