Service 02
Your grease trap catches fats, oils and grease before they reach the sewer or your septic system. Keep it pumped and it quietly does its job — leave it and you get odours, blockages and compliance headaches.
We pump out the whole trap — floating grease, settled solids and the liquid in between — then check its condition so small problems are caught before they become expensive ones.
Lighter than water, they float and set into a crust.
The clearer layer that flows on to the sewer or system.
Heavier scraps settle and build up on the floor of the trap.
Lift the lid, take a look (or ask whoever did the last clean) and slide the layers to match. Add your permit cycle to see your next pump-out dates.
As a share of the trap's effective (liquid) depth. Water Corporation requires a pump-out once floating and settled solids together exceed 30%.

Straight answers. Still unsure? Give us a ring — we're happy to talk it through.
If you're on sewer, Water Corporation sets your pump-out frequency (in weeks) as a condition of your trade waste permit, based on the trap's size and your wastewater. It also requires a pump-out whenever floating grease and settled solids together exceed 30% of the trap's effective depth. Tell us your cycle and we'll keep you on it.
Not for a proper clean. We pump out the full contents — the floating grease, the settled solids and the liquid in between — so the trap is back to full working capacity.
Water Corporation says cleaning must be done by a licensed liquid waste contractor. We're licensed for controlled waste removal, and the waste is carted away for licensed disposal.
