A failing grease trap doesn’t usually announce itself at a convenient time. One day it’s a small leak or lingering odor — the next it’s an overflow, a backup, or a kitchen problem that slows service and puts compliance at risk. When repairs aren’t enough (or you’re dealing with the same issues repeatedly), grease trap replacement is often the cleanest path forward.
KW Restaurant Services helps restaurants replace grease traps with a process that’s built around real operations. We plan the work, coordinate the replacement, and keep communication clear so you’re not guessing what’s happening or when your kitchen can get back to normal.
