Restaurant grease trap maintenance in Abbotsford & Maple Ridge is a regulated requirement, and if neglected, can result in fines by the health inspector. Grease trap pumping and cleaning helps minimize the fat, oil and grease that enter the municipal sewer systems from restaurant wastewater systems. When you don’t maintain and clean the grease trap, your restaurant can experience odours, blocked sinks, water flooding the floor from the drains, and other health code violations.

- Removal of the contaminants of the grease trap
- Flushing the grease trap to remove build ups

Frequently Asked Questions
The right schedule depends on how much grease your kitchen produces, so routine service makes it easier to stay ahead of buildup.
Regular grease trap cleaning helps reduce fats, oils, and grease before they move into the sewer system. It also helps you avoid plumbing issues, bad smells, and the kind of mess that can interrupt your day.
When grease builds up, it can cause blocked sinks, strong odours, drain overflows, and other problems that affect your kitchen. Staying on top of service helps you avoid disruptions and keep things running the way they should.
Grease trap service usually includes removing contaminants from the trap, flushing out buildup, and checking and cleaning the inlet and outlet pipes.
Yes. Grease interceptors and sanitary sump pump chambers can also be flushed and vacuumed during restaurant renovations. That helps clean things out properly before the space goes back into regular use.
Keep Grease Trap Service Off the Mid-Shift To-Do List
Your kitchen runs on timing. Prep needs to happen, dishes need to move, staff need room to work, and customers are waiting for their food.
A grease trap issue shouldn’t become the thing that slows all of that down.
Grease traps collect fats, oils, grease, and food-related buildup before it continues through the drainage system. That material needs to be removed regularly so the trap can keep doing the job it was designed to do.

What’s Included in Grease Trap Service
Grease trap cleaning is more than pumping out the trap and moving on.
Our service can include:
- Removing contaminants from the grease trap
- Flushing the trap to clear buildup
- Checking and cleaning inlet and outlet pipes
These steps help keep the full grease trap system easier to manage, not just the tank itself.
Why Regular Cleaning Matters
As fats, oils, grease, and food-related material build up, the trap has less room to do the job it was installed to do.
Left too long, buildup can contribute to slow kitchen drainage, odours around sinks and floor drains, blocked sinks, or water coming back through drains.
Regular cleaning keeps room in the trap for new material and makes maintenance easier to plan around your kitchen schedule.
