Grease Trap Repairs
Grease Trap repairs without the disruption
A grease trap doesn’t have to be completely “broken” to cause real problems in a restaurant. A lid that won’t seal, a worn gasket, or a damaged internal part can lead to persistent odours, leaks, messy interruptions, and repeat issues that keep coming back.
KW Restaurant Services helps restaurants address these problems with a clear plan and dependable follow-through. We coordinate grease trap repairs through a long-time, reputable partner — and we manage the process so you get restaurant-friendly scheduling, straightforward communication, and less downtime.
What we help with
- Grease trap repairs for indoor and outdoor unit
- Lid sealing and gasket-related issues
- Internal fitting and connection problems
- Repair planning with clear next steps
- Guidance on repair vs replacement when needed
When restaurants need grease trap repairs
Some repair needs show up as obvious leaks. Others show up as “we just had service and it still smells” or “it keeps acting up.” If you notice any of the following, repairs may be the right next step.
Common signs you may need grease trap repairs
- Persistent odours even after pumping
- Leaks around the lid, seams, or connections
- A lid that won’t sit flush or won’t seal properly
- Loose or missing parts on the trap
- Repeated issues returning sooner than expected after service
- Visible damage noticed during routine service
If you reach out with a short description (or a quick text), we’ll help you determine whether this looks like a straightforward repair or whether replacement makes more sense.
Common grease trap repair issues we see
Most restaurant grease trap repairs fall into a few repeat categories. The goal is to resolve small issues before they turn into bigger interruptions during peak hours.
Typical repair issues
- Lid sealing problems
Warped lids, poor fit, or loose seating that allows odours and leakage
- Gasket wear
Worn or damaged gaskets that can contribute to odour and seepage
- Baffle or internal fitting issues
Internal components that are damaged, missing, or not functioning properly
- Inlet/outlet connection problems
Loose or damaged connections that may lead to leaks or performance issues
- Physical damage to the trap body
Cracks or structural issues that may require more than a basic repair — and sometimes replacement

Why fixing small issues early matters
Restaurants operate on speed and consistency. Small grease trap issues can become big problems at the worst times — during peak service, busy weekends, or when you’re short-staffed.
Addressing repairs early helps you stay ahead of that.
Why restaurants handle repairs sooner
- Prevents leaks and messy interruptions
- Reduces odours that can affect staff and guests
- Avoids small component failures turning into larger damage
- Keeps your grease system functioning more reliably over time
- Makes service easier to plan instead of forcing last-minute reaction

Repair vs replacement
Some grease traps are worth repairing. Others reach a point where replacement is the more reliable move. We’ll help you make the simplest decision based on the condition of the unit and the pattern of problems you’re seeing.
Repairs may make sense when
- The trap is structurally sound and the issue is isolated
- Lid and gasket sealing is the main problem
- Internal components or fittings can be restored effectively
- The unit performs well overall but needs targeted fixes
Replacement may make sense when
- The unit has repeated failures that don’t stay resolved
- The trap body is damaged beyond practical repair
- Repairs keep stacking up and downtime is increasing
- The unit needs to be replaced to restore dependable performance
