Grease Management
Grease Trap Cleaning: What Restaurant Owners Need to Know
· Luma Commercial Services
Grease traps quietly do a lot of work. Understanding how they fill up helps you avoid odours, slow drains and disruption.
A grease trap separates fats, oils and grease from kitchen wastewater before it enters the drain line. Over time, that captured material accumulates and has to be removed.
Common warning signs
- Persistent odours near sinks or floor drains
- Slow drainage
- Visible buildup around the trap
- Repeated backups
Why a schedule helps
Waiting until there's a problem usually means cleaning under pressure, often during service. A recurring interval based on your kitchen's volume keeps things predictable.
What to expect from a service visit
A typical visit involves removing accumulated grease and waste, cleaning accessible areas and checking the accessible components within the agreed scope.
