Why Regular Grease Trap Cleaning Matters

Whether you're running a restaurant in Richmond or managing a café in the CBD, blocked grease traps cause more than just bad smells, they disrupt kitchen operations, overflow into the sewer system, and risk fines from your local water authority.

The Problem

When grease and food waste enter sewer pipes, they cool and harden, causing severe blockages that lead to wastewater spills, damage to plumbing infrastructure, and foul odours around your property.

The Solution

Regular cleaning removes FOG waste (fats, oils, grease), food waste, and solid waste, protecting your plumbing devices and keeping your site compliant with local authorities.
