What Is Grease Trap Cleaning?
Grease trap cleaning is the complete removal of fats, oils, and grease (FOG), sludge, and solid debris from a grease interceptor before they enter the municipal sewer. In Dubai’s heat, FOG hardens fast. Without regular grease trap pumping and degreasing, your kitchen drain backs up, foul odors spread through the dining area, and you risk DM violations.
Why Every Commercial Kitchen in Dubai Needs a Grease Trap
Dubai Municipality mandates grease traps for every food business. The trap separates FOG and food waste from wastewater, protecting the drainage network and preventing fatberg formation in sewer lines. No trap—or a neglected one—means contaminated wastewater, pest infestation, and immediate closure risk.
What's Included in TopMop's Grease Trap Cleaning Service
- Full FOG and sludge removal using vacuum pumping and grease trap emptying
- High-pressure water jetting of inlet/outlet pipes and baffle walls
- Deep degreasing and sanitization of all chambers
- Odor neutralization and biological enzyme treatment
- CCTV inspection of drain lines (where accessible)
- DM-compliant waste disposal with certified manifest
- Post-service certificate and digital service report
Types of Grease Traps We Clean
We handle every configuration found in UAE commercial kitchens, from small cafes to industrial grease trap cleaning contracts.
Under-Sink Grease Traps (Small Capacity)
Common in cafes and cloud kitchens. These passive grease traps require frequent emptying due to limited retention chamber size. We clean them on-site or replace if corrosion has compromised the unit.
Underground Grease Interceptors (Medium–Large)
Installed beneath loading bays and parking areas, these multi-chamber gravity grease interceptors hold thousands of liters. Our vacuum trucks extract sludge and sediment from the sludge chamber without disrupting your service hours.
Outdoor / Above-Ground Grease Traps
Found behind hotels and catering facilities. We pump out grease layers and flush the effluent outlet using hydro jetting to restore full flow capacity.
Grease Trap Types by Material
Stainless steel, concrete, polyethylene, and fiberglass grease traps each need different handling. Our technicians adjust pressure and chemical treatments to protect the structure while removing organic deposits.
Under-Sink Grease Traps (Small Capacity)
No guesswork. We quote based on trap size, access, and FOG volume.
Grease Trap Cleaning Price Guide (AED)
- Small under-sink units: AED 250–400 per clean
- Medium indoor traps (up to 500L): AED 500–800
- Large underground interceptors (1000L+): AED 900–1,500+
- Emergency call-outs: Standard rate + AED 200–300
What Affects Grease Trap Cleaning Cost?
Trap capacity, frequency of cleaning, accessibility (indoor vs. outdoor/manhole), solid waste volume, and whether line cleaning or CCTV inspection is required.
Hidden Costs to Avoid
Some contractors quote low, then charge extra for “excessive grease” or waste transport. TopMop’s price includes full FOG removal, disposal, and certificate—no surprises.
Our Grease Trap Cleaning Process: Step-by-Step
We follow a strict 7-step protocol for every grease trap cleaning services Dubai job.
Step 1: Initial Inspection & Assessment (10–15 min)
We inspect the access lid, baffle wall, flow control device, and measure grease layer depth. Photos are taken for your service report.
Step 2: FOG & Sludge Extraction (20–40 min)
Using industrial vacuum, sludge pumps, and grease skimmers, we remove the grease layer, solid debris, and wastewater. Large interceptors require our vacuum tanker.
Step 3: Deep Cleaning & Degreasing (15–30 min)
All chambers are scraped and treated with eco-friendly degreaser and enzyme cleaner to break down residual organic deposits.
Step 4: Sanitisation & Odour Control (10 min)
All chambers are scraped and treated with eco-friendly degreaser and enzyme cleaner to break down residual organic deposits.
Step 5: System Inspection & Performance Check (10 min)
Inlet and outlet pipes, air vent, and inspection cover are checked for corrosion, blockages, or equipment failure.
Step 6: DM-Compliant Waste Disposal
All FOG and sludge are transported by licensed waste collection vehicles to approved recycling facilities. You receive a waste manifest and disposal certificate.
Step 7: Certificate Issuance & Schedule Setup (5 min)
We issue your DM-recognized cleaning certificate and set your next service date based on Dubai Municipality grease trap cleaning frequency guidelines.
