FAQs
Answers to questions about grease trap cleaning.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
Most commercial kitchens require cleaning every 1 to 3 months, depending on the volume of fats and oils produced. This helps maintain hygiene and prevents plumbing issues. Businesses handling high grease loads tend to follow cleaning intervals tailored to usage to stay compliant.
What happens if a grease trap isn't cleaned regularly?
Neglected grease traps can lead to foul odours, drain blockages, and expensive repairs. When waste accumulates, it's common for connected pipes to become clogged — an issue frequently tied to ineffective drain management in high-use kitchens.
What’s involved in professional grease trap cleaning?
A standard service includes pumping out accumulated waste, flushing the system, checking for any signs of damage, and responsibly disposing of all materials. This thorough cleaning and inspection process helps extend the unit's life and ensures it performs reliably.
Does grease trap cleaning help prevent blocked drains?
Yes, by removing fats, oils, and solids, water can flow more freely through the plumbing. Regular cleaning, paired with effective drain cleaning products, significantly reduces the chance of major blockages and emergency repairs.
Is grease trap cleaning required by law in Rockhampton?
It is. Businesses are required to meet council regulations to protect public health and infrastructure. Regular servicing helps maintain standards and reduce environmental risks, which is why many follow established cleaning timelines.
Can grease trap waste be removed without a vacuum truck?
Small traps can sometimes be emptied manually, but most commercial kitchens rely on vac trucks for speed, sanitation, and compliance. Our cleaning procedure uses this equipment to remove all waste safely and efficiently.
What’s a good way to prepare before your plumbers arrive?
Clearing the area around the trap, pausing heavy kitchen activity, and alerting staff in advance all help make the service faster and smoother. Simple steps like these often lead to more efficient visits and are part of the pre-appointment planning phase.
