If you manage a restaurant, café, commissary, hotel, or commercial kitchen in Makati, you already know how strict the city is when it comes to sanitation, waste management, and environmental compliance. One of the most overlooked requirements? Regular grease trap cleaning.
But why is it so important—and how often should you do it? Let’s break it down.

A grease trap (or grease interceptor) is a plumbing device installed in commercial kitchens to capture:
Fats
Oils
Grease (FOG)
Food waste
Without regular maintenance, these contaminants build up and cause blockages—not just in your store’s plumbing but in the city’s sewer system as well.
Makati enforces strict environmental ordinances. Businesses with poorly maintained grease traps can face:
Fines
Temporary closure
Negative inspection reports
Regular cleaning keeps your establishment compliant with local regulations.
When FOG accumulates, it produces strong, foul smells that can spread throughout your kitchen or dining area. Customers notice—fast.
Blocked pipes and overflow issues can shut down your operations and cost thousands in repairs.
Proper grease trap maintenance helps keep Makati’s drainage system clean and prevents wastewater contamination.
For most Makati businesses:
Every 1–3 months for restaurants
Every 2–4 weeks for high-volume kitchens
Monthly inspections to stay ahead of buildup
Slow-draining sinks
Persistent foul odors
Visible grease buildup
Overflowing or clogged trap
