Frequently Asked Questions — Grease Trap Pumping in Ottawa
How often should my restaurant grease trap be pumped?
Most commercial kitchens need pumping every 1–3 months, depending on volume and cooking type. High-volume restaurants may need monthly service. PumpDash providers assess your trap during the first visit and recommend a schedule that keeps you compliant and prevents backups.
What happens if I don't pump my grease trap regularly?
Neglected grease traps cause kitchen backups, foul odors, and costly plumbing damage. You'll also risk health code violations and fines from Ottawa's health department. Regular pumping keeps your kitchen running smoothly and protects your business reputation.

What's included in a typical grease trap pumping visit?
Our providers pump out accumulated grease and solids, inspect the trap for damage, and dispose of waste at the Ottawa WWTP. They'll also check baffles and advise on best practices to extend the time between services and reduce future costs.

Pricing typically ranges from $200 to $450 per job, quoted by the provider based on trap size and condition. You pay on-site when work is complete—no upfront fees or hidden charges. Every PumpDash provider is licensed, insured, and background-checked.
