  • You might be wondering why you need to install a grease trap in your restaurant or food service business. Grease traps, or grease interceptors as they're sometimes known, are an essential part of a commercial kitchen. They prevent FOG substances (fat, oil, and grease) from accumulating within your sewer and drain lines.

  • Without a grease interceptor—which utilizes a series of baffles to filter and capture these substances from wastewater—FOG substances would coat the insides of your pipes, creating a mess of grease and solids that would likely result in a sewage backup across your kitchen floor. The result? A costly emergency plumbing situation puts a complete halt to your business operations.

  • From assessing your kitchen layout to professional recommendations to compliance checks, we’ll ensure your grease trap is properly installed. If your business needs a grease trap installation or grease trap replacement, Toronto plumbers are only a phone call away!

Our Process for Grease Trap Installation: Toronto

When it comes to commercial drainage services, one crucial step is a grease trap installation. Toronto plumbers can help with this essential service to prevent blockages from forming in the wastewater of your establishment. Our services typically proceed as follows:

  • Initial assessment: Before your Toronto grease trap installation service, one of our plumbers will evaluate your kitchen's layout and specific needs to determine the right size and type of grease trap for your establishment.
  • Selecting the location: Next, we'll determine the optimal location for your grease trap installation. Toronto plumbers will consider several factors, including accessibility, plumbing codes, and ease of maintenance. There are two options: indoor or outdoor grease traps. Depending on which you choose, the process is slightly different.
  • Excavation (required for outdoor grease trap installation): Toronto plumbers will help with the excavation of a trench outside of your establishment to accommodate the installation of a grease interceptor.
  • Foundation preparation: Again, this is only relevant for an outdoor grease trap installation. Toronto plumbers will help with the pouring of a cement foundation to support your grease interceptor.
  • Trap placement and connection: The interceptor is placed inside the trench or its designated location within your establishment (depending on whether it's outdoors or indoors). Our plumbing team will handle the necessary connections to pipes that discharge wastewater that contains fats, oils, and greases (FOG), including sinks, self-cleaning exhaust hoods, and cooking equipment.
  • Backfilling: This is relevant for outdoor installations and involves pouring pea gravel into the trench to fill the space between the foundation and the interceptor.
  • Access point installation: Once the installation is done, we'll install what's known as an extension collar to connect the access hole, which is located at ground level, to the grease interceptor, which is typically a minimum of 30 inches below ground.
  • Final touches: For an outdoor installation, an additional cement slab is poured above the grease interceptor to support both it and potential foot traffic.
  • Compliance checks: Once the grease interceptor has been installed, the installation is checked to ensure that it meets the requirements of local city bylaws, which mandate a Toronto grease trap installation service for establishments that prepare, heat, or process food on-site.
