Grease Trap Pumping for Restaurants
Reliable grease trap pumping that works around restaurant hours
Grease builds up fast in busy kitchens. Scheduled grease trap pumping helps reduce overflows, odours, and service-day surprises — while keeping your restaurant running smoothly.
- Grease trap pumping for indoor kitchen traps and outdoor units
- Small grease trap friendly (under-sink / indoor)
- Clean, professional service process
What is grease trap pumping?
Grease trap pumping removes built-up fats, oils, grease, and settled solids so your system keeps working the way it should.
- Helps prevent backups into sinks and kitchen lines
- Reduces strong odours caused by buildup
- Lowers the risk of overflows that interrupt service
Why restaurants schedule grease trap pumping
Restaurants don’t have time for last-minute plumbing problems. Staying on a pumping schedule protects your operations and reduces avoidable interruptions.
- Reduce the risk of backups and overflows
- Cut down on odours that affect staff and guests
- Keep operations steady during peak hours
- Support inspection readiness and cleaner kitchens

Indoor vs outdoor grease traps
Indoor grease traps (kitchen / under-sink)
Indoor traps are common in smaller kitchens and certain layouts. Because capacity is limited, they can fill faster — especially in grease-heavy operations.
- Often require more frequent service due to smaller size
- Common signs include odour near sinks and slower drainage
- Service should be scheduled to avoid interruptions during rush hours
Outdoor grease traps (larger units)
Outdoor units typically have higher capacity and different access requirements. Many restaurants keep these on a consistent schedule to avoid sudden issues.
- Schedule-based pumping supports smoother operations
- Access and timing can be planned around restaurant flow
- Consistent service reduces surprise overflows
How often should a grease trap be pumped?
Pumping frequency depends on how your restaurant operates. There’s no single schedule that fits every kitchen.
- Trap size (small indoor traps vs larger outdoor units)
- Menu and grease output (frying and heavy oils increase buildup)
- Customer volume and peak periods
- Local requirements and inspection expectations
Many restaurants also use the common “25% guideline” idea — pumping when grease and solids reach about a quarter of trap capacity — when that approach applies to their system. If you’re not sure what schedule makes sense, we’ll help you choose a routine that fits your operation and reduces surprises.
