Grease Trap Installation & Repair

Grease trap support

Grease trap installation and repair help for commercial kitchens

A grease trap that is undersized, damaged, hard to access, or poorly maintained can create the same headaches as no trap at all. Drain Works helps kitchens keep grease systems practical and serviceable.

Access and serviceability matter

Before a kitchen pours concrete, changes plumbing, or commits to a new trap layout, it helps to involve the team that will actually service it. The outdoor access photos show why trap placement, lid access, and maintenance clearance matter.

Before outdoor grease trap cleaning, an open manhole-style grease trap access shows a thick layer of grease and solids inside.
Before

Outdoor trap with heavy buildup

The access opening shows accumulated grease and solids that need to be removed before they move downstream.

After outdoor grease trap cleaning, the open grease trap access shows the visible surface buildup removed after pumping.
After

Surface buildup removed

The trap has been serviced and the heavy visible buildup has been pumped out, leaving the access area clear for inspection.

Installation and repair situations

New or changing kitchens

Opening, remodeling, adding sinks, changing menu volume, or upgrading food-service equipment.

Access and maintenance problems

Hard-to-service lids, blocked access, odor problems, damaged baffles, or traps that need frequent emergency attention.

System troubleshooting

Grease carryover, backups, poor separation, or recurring drain issues that may point to a sizing, condition, or layout problem.

Practical guidance before the expensive mistake

We focus on accessibility, maintenance frequency, and real-world kitchen use so the grease trap can be serviced cleanly and consistently.
