Preventive Grease Trap Maintenance
Regular cleaning helps reduce odours, overflows, slow drainage and emergency plumbing issues.
Why Grease Traps Get Blocked
Common causes include:
Fats, Oils and Grease Build-Up
Grease can harden inside the trap and connected pipes, reducing water flow and causing blockages.
Food Waste Entering the Drain
Food scraps, coffee grounds, sauces and solids can collect inside the grease trap and make it fill faster.
Not Cleaning the Trap Often Enough
If the grease trap is not cleaned on a suitable schedule, it can overflow or allow grease to pass into the drainage system.
Incorrect Kitchen Waste Disposal
Pouring oil, fat or food waste down the sink can overload the grease trap and block connected drains.
Blocked Outlet Pipes
Sometimes the grease trap is not the only issue. The outlet pipe may also be blocked with grease, sludge and food waste.
Our Grease Trap Cleaning Process
1. Inspect the grease trap and drains
We check the trap, nearby sinks, floor drains and any signs of overflow or blockage.
2. Remove grease and sludge
Built-up fats, oils, grease, food waste and sludge are removed from the grease trap.
3. Clear the blockage
If the trap or connected drain line is blocked, we clear the obstruction to restore flow.
Test the drainage
We check that wastewater is draining correctly and that the trap is working as it should.
5. Provide maintenance advice
We explain what caused the issue and how often your grease trap may need cleaning based on your kitchen use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on size and usage, but typically every 1–3 months for commercial kitchens. We can assess and create a cleaning schedule.
Why does my kitchen sink keep blocking even after the grease trap is cleaned?
The blockage may be further down the drain line. Grease can build up in pipes after the trap, especially if oils, sauces or food scraps have been going down the sink for a long time.
Can a blocked grease trap cause bad smells in the dining area?
Yes. When grease, food waste and sludge sit inside the trap for too long, odours can travel through drains and affect the kitchen, dining area or nearby outdoor spaces.
Is grease trap cleaning only for restaurants?
No. Cafés, bakeries, takeaway shops, pubs, clubs, childcare centres, school kitchens, aged care kitchens and any commercial kitchen with grease waste may need grease trap cleaning.
What happens if I leave a grease trap blocked?
A blocked grease trap can lead to wastewater overflow, strong odours, slow kitchen drainage and hygiene problems. It may also affect your ability to operate safely during service.
