Grease trap cleaning is the removal of accumulated fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from interceptor units installed in commercial kitchen plumbing systems. Grease traps prevent FOG from entering municipal sewer lines where they cause blockages, backups, and environmental damage. Most local plumbing codes and environmental agencies set specific pumping schedules, typically every 30 to 90 days depending on kitchen volume and trap size. The general industry rule is to pump when the trap reaches 25% capacity. While grease traps fall under plumbing code rather than NFPA 96 (the National Fire Protection Association standard governing commercial kitchen exhaust systems), many hood cleaning companies offer this service as part of comprehensive kitchen maintenance. Failure to maintain grease traps can result in significant fines, sewer backups, and environmental violation penalties. Find companies offering grease trap cleaning in our commercial kitchen services directory. Learn about related compliance requirements in our NFPA 96 guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grease trap cleaning is the removal of accumulated fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from interceptor units in commercial kitchen plumbing systems. Grease traps prevent FOG from entering municipal sewer systems, where they cause blockages and environmental damage. Most jurisdictions require regular pumping schedules, typically every 30 to 90 days depending on kitchen volume. Failure to maintain grease traps can result in fines, plumbing backups, and environmental violations.

Grease traps should be pumped every 30 to 90 days depending on kitchen volume and trap size. Most local plumbing codes set specific pumping schedules. The general rule is to pump when the trap reaches 25% capacity. High-volume restaurants and fast food operations need monthly service. Refer to our NFPA 96 Compliance Guide for related requirements.

Grease Trap Cleaning typically costs $200 to $500 for commercial kitchens. Pricing depends on kitchen size, equipment condition, level of buildup, and geographic location. High-volume restaurants or larger kitchens may pay more. Request free quotes from certified providers in our hood cleaning directory to compare pricing. For a detailed breakdown of all service costs, see our Hood Cleaning Cost Guide.

Grease trap cleaning is not mandated by NFPA 96, which governs the exhaust system rather than plumbing. Grease trap maintenance is regulated by local plumbing codes and environmental agencies. However, maintaining grease traps is part of overall kitchen fire safety and sanitation, and many hood cleaning companies offer this service alongside exhaust system maintenance. See our NFPA 96 Compliance Guide.
