Grease Trap Servicing and Blockages Cleared

A grease trap only gets attention when it stops working, and in a commercial kitchen that means a blocked floor waste, a smell in the dining room, or a sink you cannot use in the middle of service.

We service, clear and repair grease traps for commercial kitchens, cafes, pubs, clubs, aged care and food manufacturing across the Hills District and greater Sydney.

Blocked grease traps

A blocked trap is an emergency, because the kitchen stops. Usually it is hardened fat and food solids in the trap or the line out of it, and often the trap has simply gone too long between services.
 
We clear the blockage, camera the line where it is needed, and tell you whether it was a one off or something that will happen again in six weeks.

What we do

  • Blocked grease trap clearing: Emergency clearing so the kitchen can keep trading.
  • Grease trap servicing: Scheduled servicing so the trap works and your trade waste obligations are met.
  • Drain and line clearing: The blockage is often in the line rather than the trap. We clear both, and camera it so you can see what caused it.
  • CCTV inspection: Where a trap blocks repeatedly, the cause is usually in the pipework. A camera tells you whether it is a fall problem, a damaged section or a build-up issue.
  • Grease trap repairs: Lids, frames, baffles, inlet and outlet fittings, and the pipework either side.

Trap replacement and upgrades

Where a trap is failing, undersized for the kitchen it serves, or no longer suits the menu, we can replace or upgrade it.
Our grease trap installation page covers new installs.

Ongoing service schedules

Trap servicing on a cycle, so it is handled rather than remembered.

We just moved into our new home and walked in to find 2 leaks coming from the downstairs bathroom ceiling. We called The Plumbing Paramedics and they sent Kyle over. He was friendly and a good communicator. He was thorough when seeking to find the leak. He was able to locate the issue in a damaged upstairs toilet by performing a leak detection test. He removed the damaged toilet and installed a new one for us. If you want an efficient plumbing service and clear communication from office staff, call The Plumbing Paramedics.

We recently experienced a plumbing emergency with water leaking from our ceiling and called Plumbing Paramedics for help. Kyle and Josh arrived promptly and quickly identified the source as a burst pipe. They were professional and knowledgeable throughout, taking the time to clearly explain the issue before proceeding, and completed the repair along with installing a new pressure valve in under 90 minutes. As a family with young children, we greatly appreciated their efficiency and the peace of mind their work provided. We highly recommend them and will use them again!

Why kitchens block more than they should

  • Service intervals too long. The most common cause. The right interval depends on the size of the trap and the volume and type of food the kitchen produces.
  • The trap is undersized. A trap sized for the original kitchen will not cope with a busier menu, extra equipment or longer trading hours.
  • Hot water washing fat through. Fat dissolved by hot water passes the trap, then cools and sets in the line downstream. That is why the blockage is often past the trap, not in it.
  • Damaged or missing baffles. Without them the trap stops separating.
  • Kitchen practice. Scraping plates and dry wiping pans before washing makes a real difference to how often a trap needs attention.

Whether you run a small takeaway or a large production kitchen, we help you choose the right trap and make sure it’s installed to meet all AS/NZS 3500 plumbing and Sydney Water trade waste standards.

Blocked Grease Trap FAQS

It depends on the size of the trap and what the kitchen produces. Your trade waste agreement sets requirements for your premises. If the trap is blocking or smelling, the interval is too long whatever it says.

Call and we will tell you honestly when we can be there. A blocked trap stops a kitchen, so we treat it as urgent.

Usually the service interval, an undersized trap, or a problem in the line downstream. A camera tells you which, and it is worth knowing before paying for another clear.

Yes, and for most kitchens that is the only practical time. Tell us your hours.

Often it is the trap, sometimes it is the line or a dry floor waste. We find out rather than guess.
