What Is a Grease Trap, and Do I Need One in Oregon?

Grease traps are designed to stop solids and grease residue from entering sewage systems. They are often used in high-volume cooking environments, including restaurants and bars, but they are also sometimes installed in residential homes.

If you operate a kitchen as part of your business, state and local law require you to install and maintain grease traps that meet certain regulatory requirements. This includes maintaining certain standards of cleanliness and functionality. Consequently, you will need to have your grease traps inspected and cleaned on a regular basis.

Your home may not need a grease trap. Many residential kitchens do not generate enough food-based residue to warrant one. However, if you do have a grease trap installed in your home, you must routinely clean it to avoid issues from developing.

Grease traps will ideally be near the kitchen and easy to access. If you are not sure where your grease trap is located, our skilled team can help find it.

Why You Must Prioritize Grease Trap Cleaning

The law requires businesses to properly maintain their grease traps. Failing to do so can result in fines and other punitive consequences.

Other serious problems may develop if you do not frequently clean your grease traps, including:

Unpleasant odors. When a grease trap is not maintained, more food waste will cling to its surfaces. The longer it sits, the smellier it gets – and a repulsive, rotting odor is often the result.
Damage to your system. Deteriorating food waste tends to produce sulfuric acid. Left unaddressed, this volatile chemical can damage your tank and threaten its functionality.
Increased difficulty of waste removal. Residue tends to harden and stick to surfaces when it sits too long. The longer you wait to clean your tank, the tougher it can be to remove waste.
Sewer line backups. Buildups of food waste can ultimately clog local sewer lines and create serious health hazards for your staff, patrons, and neighbors.

Our grease trap cleaning services in Clackamas County can help you avoid all of these outcomes. After evaluating your grease trap system, we can recommend a regular maintenance schedule and send reminders when it is time for an inspection.
