Grease traps are essentially grease interceptors that reduce the amount of fats, oils and grease (FOG) that goes down kitchen drain lines into sewer systems. They’re typically located underneath three-compartment sinks or adjacent to dishwashers in restaurant kitchens, but can be located outside the building as well.

Why Restaurants Trust Crown Pumping, LLC for Grease Trap Maintenance

A grease trap collects FOG particles before they go into the sewer system, where they can clog pipes and cause kitchen overflows. When too much grease is left behind in a municipal sewer system, it can even coalesce into massive congealed “fatbergs” that require specialized crews and machinery to remove.

Grease traps should be inspected and cleaned at least once every one to three months. During the cleaning process, it’s important to detach the grease trap lid slowly and carefully in order not to damage the gaskets. Then, use a dowel or ruler to measure the depth of the waste inside the trap and note it in a FOG pump out report. It’s also helpful to draw or take a picture of the grease trap’s interior to help you remember where all the parts belong when it comes time to replace them.
