Professional Grease Trap Cleaning, Emptying, and Repair Services in Perth
Whether you have a large kitchen, restaurant, or other business, you will need to have the grease trap professionally cleaned over time.
Most other businesses, such as department stores, don’t have this worry, but restaurants need a grease trap to prevent their drainage system from becoming clogged and do so in an environmentally friendly manner.
Regular grease trap cleaning in Perth will prevent complications from heavy buildup, a blocked drain, or possible legal action if it has contaminated water sources.
Don’t risk your commercial kitchen from being shut down due to violation of local regulations, call Perth Septics – one of the most trusted professional grease trap cleaners in Perth!
Affordable Grease Trap Services for Perth Businesses
The costs of doing business include grease trap cleaning Perth. Restaurants or large kitchens must have a grease separator that removes or traps grease and fat from water. This allows water to be safely discharged into the sewer system, preventing contamination and blocked drains.
Perth Septics will clean, scrape, and rinse grease traps for a fair price.
Keeping your grease trap clean and within regulatory oversight is easy when you rely on Perth Septics and Drainage for regular maintenance.
The Importance of Regular Grease Trap Cleaning for Your Business
Fats, grease, and oils (known collectively as FOG) are considered dangerous to the environment and groundwater.
Proper waste management and cleaning of your grease traps not only meet environmental requirements but also satisfy local water authorities.
We should also mention that regular grease trap cleaning will not only prevent a blocked drain at commercial kitchens but also prevent bad odours due to FOG-filled grease traps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does it cost to unclog a grease trap?
A: This will vary depending on how much grease needs to be removed. Emptying an average 1,000-litre grease trap will cost about $200. Call today for a free estimate.
Q: Can you clean a grease trap yourself?
A: Yes, you can, but you shouldn’t. While it’s possible to clean a grease trap yourself, using a professional service is better and easier.
Some local laws prohibit anyone but a licensed professional from cleaning commercial grease traps. This is labour-intensive work, and the waste must be properly disposed of to avoid the risk of hefty fines.
Q: How often does a grease trap need to be cleaned?
A: Depending on the size of the business, most commercial companies use the 25 percent rule. When the grease trap is about 25 percent full, it should be cleaned to ensure optimal functionality.
Q: How do you clean a restaurant grease trap?
A: In a nutshell, Perth Septics will first evaluate the situation. All machinery is turned off temporarily. We use a high-powered vacuum truck for most of the grease. Any remaining grease clinging to the sides or sticking in the inlet and outlet pipes is removed manually. We will then dispose of the grease in approved locations complying with environmental requirements.
Q: Who should clean commercial grease traps?
A: While some business owners try to save some cash by allowing just anyone to clean a grease trap, the truth is that these traps are regulated by environmental and local laws. Always hire a licensed professional, such as Perth Septics, to avoid fines and ensure that the job is done correctly.
Failure to remove grease from the sides of the trap will result in horrific smells that will make most customers go elsewhere. It will also increase the likelihood of plumbing blockages that will be costly to repair.
