Grease Trap Cleaning in Vancouver
Keep Your Kitchen Compliant and Free-Flowing
If you own or operate a commercial kitchen in Vancouver, grease trap
maintenance isn’t optional — it’s essential. A neglected grease trap can
lead to clogs, sewer backups, foul odours, and even costly shutdowns
from city inspectors.
At Edenflo, we provide expert grease trap cleaning in Vancouver for
restaurants, food processing facilities, and commercial kitchens of all
sizes. Our fully licensed team handles everything from routine cleaning
to emergency pumping, ensuring your system stays compliant, safe, and
fully functional.
What Is a Grease Trap?
A grease trap (also known as a grease interceptor) is a plumbing device designed to capture fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the wastewater system. These materials are notorious for hardening and blocking sewer lines, which is why both municipal regulations and industry best practices require regular trap maintenance.
The trap works by separating FOG from water as it flows through your kitchen’s drainage system. Over time, that grease accumulates and must be pumped out by a professional to maintain performance and meet city bylaws.

How Often Should a Grease Trap Be Cleaned?
Frequency depends on the size of your trap, the volume of FOG you produce, and your local bylaws. In general:
This method is ideal for:
- Every 1 to 3 months for busy kitchens
- Quarterly for moderate use
- Monthly if required by Vancouver Coastal Health or city inspectors
If you’re unsure, we’ll help you determine the right cleaning schedule — and offer automated reminders so you never fall behind.
Our Grease Trap Cleaning Process
Edenflo’s team follows a detailed process to ensure your grease trap is thoroughly cleaned and fully inspected.
This method is ideal for:
- Step 1: Site Evaluation We assess the size, location, and condition of your grease trap. Indoor or outdoor, in-floor or below-grade — we’ve worked with them all.
- Step 2: Pumping and Waste Removal Using high-powered vacuum trucks, we remove all grease, food solids, and wastewater from the trap. We don’t just skim the surface — we do a complete pump-out every time.
- Step 3: Scrape and Clean We manually scrape down trap walls and baffles to remove built-up residue. This step ensures optimal flow and prevents premature clogging.
- Step 4: Inspection and Flow Check We check for signs of corrosion, damaged seals, or other wear-and-tear issues. We’ll also test the flow to ensure the system is working properly.
- Step 5: Responsible Disposal All FOG waste is safely transported to a licensed disposal facility in accordance with Metro Vancouver environmental guidelines.
