Common Questions About Grease Trap Service in Calgary
How often does my grease trap need to be serviced in Calgary?
Calgary's Wastewater Bylaw 14M2012 requires grease interceptors to be serviced at least once every four weeks. However, high-volume kitchens may need service more often โ the real trigger is when FOG levels reach 25% of the trap's wet volume. GDM tracks your FOG percentage at every visit to help determine the right schedule for your specific kitchen.
What happens if I don't get my grease trap cleaned?
An overdue grease trap will eventually hit the 25% FOG limit and begin letting grease pass into your drain lines and the city sewer. This creates foul odours, slow drains, floor drain backups, and potential sewage overflow into your kitchen. You also risk fines and compliance orders from the City of Calgary, and complications with AHS health inspections.
Do you service all areas of Calgary?
Yes. We service all of Calgary including Downtown, Beltline, Inglewood, Chinook, Crowfoot, Beacon Hill, Sunridge, and all surrounding communities including Airdrie, Chestermere, Okotoks, and Rocky View County.
What documentation do I get after each service?
Every GDM service includes a written report emailed to you with before and after photos, FOG percentage readings, volume removed, the disposal manifest for the approved facility, technician notes, and a recommendation for your next service date. This is everything you need to satisfy a City inspector or health audit.
