Grease Trap Installation Upgrade for Restaurants and Institutions

City of Vancouver compliance officers regularly inspect grease interceptor units in restaurants and institutions. If you did not pass a recent inspection and need to upgrade to a unit with a greater capacity then call us to set up an appointment. We have been installing grease traps for years and will help you figure out what unit is required for your business.

Grease traps (aka, grease interceptor) are used in kitchens, restaurants, institutions and all types of food processing areas where waste water contains grease, fats and oil. Most grease traps are able to collect over 90% of the grease which flows into the unit.

Municipal Requirements

All cities in greater Vancouver require restaurants to have compliant grease traps installed to prevent sewer system backups. Proper disposal of grease and cleaning of restaurant grease traps is required by the GVRD and should be done by a licensed company such as Pioneer Plumbing. Beyond the lawful reasons to maintain your grease traps, proper periodic maintenance can help prevent foul odors and restore proper flow to the system. We are more than happy to assist you with your grease trap issues.

A compliant grease trap will help prevent sewer pipe system blockages. It is especially helpful for high volume businesses because of the large amount of waste going into the sewer system. After proper grease trap installation, substances such as fat, grease, oil and other debris will get caught in your grease trap instead of blocking up your system and getting released into the city’s sewer system. Unpleasant things such as sewer backup and overflow can occur when there is a blockage build up in your plumbing pipes due to grease blocking the flow.
