How Often Do I Maintain a Grease Trap?
Grease traps keep fats, oils, and grease from entering drains and clogging the system. The right maintenance frequency depends on use. A grease-heavy restaurant requires more frequent attention than a business that uses its unit only occasionally.
For Lee County Utilities customers, grease interceptors over 50 gallons must be pumped and cleaned at least every 90 days. Service is required sooner when floating grease exceeds 6 inches or settleable solids exceed 8 inches. Grease traps under 50 gallons must be pumped and cleaned at least every 7 days or when combined grease and solids exceed 20% of the unit’s total volume. These requirements are part of the Lee County Grease Management program governed by Lee County Ordinance 14-24.

Warning Signs Your Fort Myers Grease Trap Needs Cleaning
Prompt inspection is important when buildup begins interfering with commercial kitchen operations. Watch for:
- Slow-draining sinks
- Foul odors
- Standing water
- Wastewater backups
A rotten-egg odor can come from hydrogen sulfide, a gas produced as trapped solids decay. Indoor grease removal units need regular inspection and cleaning to limit the fats, oils, and grease entering the wastewater system.
Grease Traps vs. Grease Interceptors
A grease trap is usually installed inside the building, while a grease interceptor is typically a larger exterior unit. Both capture fats, oils, grease, and food solids before they enter the sanitary sewer, but their size and placement affect access and maintenance.
Lee County Utilities applies different maintenance intervals and buildup thresholds based on unit size. We service interior grease traps and exterior interceptors for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout the greater Fort Myers area.
What to Expect from Grease Trap Cleaning
We provide emergency and routine grease trap cleaning, including interior grease trap cleaning and exterior grease tank / interceptor cleaning. Coordinating access around kitchen operations helps the service proceed with less disruption.
Cleaning removes buildup so the unit can continue separating fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from wastewater. We also inspect the system for blockages or other problems. After service, customers receive a detailed report and real-time updates on system status.
Schedule Routine or Urgent Grease Trap Service
Request grease trap cleaning in Fort Myers to address warning signs or establish the maintenance schedule your commercial kitchen needs. We can inspect the unit, document its condition, and identify problems that require attention.
Our certified technicians are on-call 24/7 for urgent septic and wastewater needs. Routine service requests can also be made by phone or through our contact form.
