Grease Trap & Sand Trap Cleaning

Regular cleaning of grease traps and sand traps is a legal obligation for every restaurant, café, large kitchen, car wash and production facility. PainePesu grease trap cleaning in Tallinn is professional, fast and fully documented — meeting all statutory requirements.

Why Is a Grease Trap Needed and Why Is Cleaning Compulsory?

Estonian water law and building regulations require food businesses and production facilities to install and regularly maintain grease traps. A grease trap intercepts grease and particles from kitchen waste water before they enter the sewer. Without a grease trap, grease enters the drain pipes — causing grease plugs, blockages and ultimately pipe damage. In addition, allowing grease to enter the sewer breaches water law requirements.

Grease Trap Cleaning — Frequency and Process

Cleaning frequency depends on the type of business and production volume. Restaurants and kitchens with active cooking typically need cleaning 1–4 times per month. Cafés and smaller food businesses — monthly to quarterly. Production facilities — as required. The PainePesu team empties the grease trap, cleans it internally and documents the work. The client receives a cleaning record, required for environmental and health inspection visits.

Sand Trap Cleaning

Sand traps are necessary at car washes, building sites, car parks and production areas where sand, clay and mechanical particles enter the sewer. An uncleaned sand trap causes sewer blockages and breaches discharge requirements. PainePesu cleans sand traps with a vacuum pump and high-pressure jetting.

Maintenance Contracts for Businesses

PainePesu offers regular maintenance contracts for grease and sand trap cleaning. A contract ensures timely planned cleanings, documentation for every emptying and priority response in emergency situations. This is valuable both for meeting environmental and health inspection requirements and for extending pipeline service life.
