What is Commercial Kitchen Grease Trap Cleaning Service?
Commercial Kitchen grease trap cleaning is a regulated maintenance service that involves the pumping out, cleaning, and inspection of grease interceptors and grease traps installed in commercial kitchen plumbing systems. Grease traps are devices designed to intercept fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the municipal sewer system — preventing blockages, backups, and environmental damage. Regular cleaning is required by municipal bylaws and is essential for maintaining proper kitchen drainage and regulatory compliance.
What Does the Service Include?
- Removal of grease, fats, and solid waste buildup from the trap
- Thorough scraping and cleaning of internal walls, baffles, and filters
- Inspection of inlet and outlet pipes for blockages or damage
- Safe disposal of waste in compliance with local regulations
- Deodorizing and flushing to prevent foul smells and backups
- Basic reporting/maintenance check to help prevent future issues
It’s a complete cleaning service that keeps your drainage system flowing smoothly, prevents costly clogs, and helps your kitchen stay health-code compliant.
Don’t Let Grease Buildup Turn Into a Shutdown Problem
The Problem:
A grease trap that is not regularly cleaned becomes overwhelmed with accumulated fats, oils, and grease — causing slow drains, sewage backups, foul sewer odors throughout your restaurant, and costly plumbing emergencies. Overflowing grease traps also violate municipal bylaws and can result in significant fines or forced closure of your establishment.
Our Solution:
Our licensed grease trap cleaning team pumps out, cleans, and inspects your grease trap on a regular schedule — keeping your drains flowing, your kitchen odor-free, and your restaurant compliant with Oshawa municipal regulations. We handle the paperwork too, providing waste manifests for your records.

Commercial Kitchen Grease Trap Cleaning FAQs
How often does a commercial grease trap need to be cleaned?
Most municipalities, including Oshawa, require grease traps to be cleaned when the combined FOG and solids layer reaches 25% of the trap’s total liquid depth. In practice, most restaurants clean every 1–3 months depending on cooking volume.
Is grease trap cleaning required by law in Oshawa?
Yes. The City of Oshawa, like most Ontario municipalities, has a sewer use bylaw that requires commercial food service establishments to maintain grease interceptors and keep records of cleaning
What happens to the waste you pump out?
All collected grease waste is transported and disposed of by our licensed waste hauler in full compliance with Ontario environmental regulations. We provide a waste manifest documenting proper disposal
Can a dirty grease trap cause a health code violation?
Yes. A neglected grease trap can cause sewage backups, foul odors, and drainage failures that health inspectors will flag as violations — potentially resulting in fines or temporary closure.
How long does a grease trap cleaning take?
Most commercial grease trap cleanings are completed in 1–2 hours, depending on trap size and accumulation levels.
Can you set up a regular maintenance schedule for us?
Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance programs — monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly — so you never miss a required cleaning and always have documentation available.
