Not every kitchen needs the same grease trap — and running the wrong one is usually why some places block up every few weeks no matter how often it's pumped out.

There's a few different types out there, and each one suits a different kind of kitchen:

- Passive traps (gravity traps) — the most common setup, no power needed, just relies on gravity to separate the fat and oil. Cheap to install, easy to maintain. Suits cafes, small takeaway shops and low-volume kitchens.

- Automatic Grease Recovery Units (GRUs) — a mechanical unit that removes grease continuously instead of waiting on manual pump outs. Costs more upfront but keeps up with busy kitchens and doesn't take up much floor space. Suits busy restaurants and kitchens tight on space.

- In-ground concrete traps — the big underground option, built for high-volume wastewater. More expensive to put in but built to last. Standard for hotels, function centres and large commercial kitchens.

Wrong size or wrong type for your kitchen, and you'll be fighting blockages no matter how often you get it pumped out.

Not sure what your setup actually needs? Give us a buzz, we'll take a look and tell you straight.

Clearing a nasty ORG blockage

Got called out to a severe blockage issue today. The outdoor ORG was backed up and holding a massive accumulation of waste.

We got straight to work pulling out heaps of toilet paper, debris, and non-flushable items that were choking the main sewer pipe.

The pipe is completely empty, clean, and draining fast now! 🙌

Signs Your Restaurant Needs a Pump Out

Full Grease Trap? Here’s What to Watch For

Grease traps are the thing every kitchen forgets about — until they’re overflowing, stinking, or council’s knocking on the door. Here’s how to know when it’s time to get yours pumped out.

—

The Problem

Most restaurant and cafe owners don’t think about their grease trap until something goes wrong. Common signs it’s overdue:

– Sinks draining slow or water backing up
– A greasy, rotten smell around the kitchen or outdoor drains
– Drains blocking up more often than they should
– Council or a health inspector asking for your maintenance records

Leave it too long and the trap fills up with fat, oil and food scraps. That grease ends up in your main drain line, and now you’re looking at a full blockage — or a fine for not keeping up with food business regulations.

—

Why Regular Grease Trap Cleaning Matters

– Councils require food businesses to maintain grease traps on a regular schedule — usually every 4 to 12 weeks depending on the size of your kitchen
– Stops blockages before they hit your main drain line (a lot cheaper than an emergency call-out)
– No more nasty smells putting off customers or staff
– Keeps your maintenance records sorted if you get an inspection

—

How Often Should You Pump Out a Grease Trap?

Depends on how much oil and fat your kitchen puts through. Busy fryers, woks, deep fryers — you’re looking at more frequent pump outs. Smaller cafes might get away with longer gaps. Best bet is a set schedule so you’re never guessing.

—
