Food service establishments must manage grease discharge to protect sewer systems and comply with regulations. Commercial Grease Trap Services ensure your facility’s grease interceptors function properly, preventing costly violations and environmental damage. Pro Service Center Services provides comprehensive Commercial Grease Trap Services for restaurants, hotels, and food processing facilities throughout Nairobi.
“Did you know? Grease blockages cause 47% of all sewer overflows in commercial districts, resulting in environmental damage and expensive cleanup operations.”
Understanding Grease Trap Systems
Commercial Grease Trap Services maintain devices that separate fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from wastewater before discharge. Properly functioning grease traps protect sewer lines, prevent backups, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Types of Grease Management Systems
Passive Grease Traps use gravity separation in compact units under sinks, suitable for small cafes and low-volume food service operations.
Large Grease Interceptors are exterior underground tanks handling high grease volumes from full-service restaurants, hotel kitchens, and institutional cafeterias.
Automatic Grease Recovery Units employ mechanical separation and collection, ideal for high-volume operations requiring frequent service.
“Pro Tip: Proper kitchen staff training reduces grease discharge by 40%, significantly extending time between required pump-outs and reducing costs.”

Proper Maintenance Protocols
Regular Commercial Grease Trap Services prevent system failures. Pump-out frequency depends on trap size, volume of grease generated, and local regulations. Most restaurants require monthly service while high-volume operations need bi-weekly or weekly attention.
Inspection and Documentation
Commercial Grease Trap Services include thorough inspections documenting grease levels, structural integrity, and operational efficiency. We provide compliance reports required by Nairobi City County and water authorities.
Best Management Practices
Effective Commercial Grease Trap Services combine proper equipment with operational practices including employee training on grease disposal, installation of strainers and filters, enzymatic treatments between pump-outs, and regular professional service.
“Remember: Grease trap violations can result in fines up to KSh 200,000, business license suspension, and liability for sewer system damage repairs.”
