Grease Trap Cleaning Pumpout Process:
Locating the grease trap location. Grease traps are located on the food establishment’s premises,either outdoors or indoors. Outdoor traps may be identified by its manhole covering or septic tank design. When a grease traps is situated indoors, it is located in the restaurant’s basement (directly beneath the kitchen), under the kitchen sink or under a metal flashing in the kitchen flooring.
Working with cool water to allow the fats, oils and grease to float to the top. Wait ten minutes once the hot wastewater has been released from the dishwasher or sink and cools. Access the notorious fats, oils and greases by carefully prying off the grease tank cover. A delicate and critical component, known as the gasket, can be damaged if you attempt to lift off the cover without precaution. The crowbar comes in handy at this point, unless the grease trap cover is bolted down. You’ll have an easier time if the grease trap features a molded plastic lid, which readily snaps off. You’ll be met with a two-inch thick layer of grease sludge. Remove the floating FOGs with a scoop. Once the fats, oils and greases are lifted out of the tank, water and leftover food solids will remain. A powerful shop vac is useful in removing the residual solids and water. Be sure the automatic dishwasher is turned off and the sinks are not in use to prevent the grease trap from continually filling up while you are working.
The next process is to scrape off the trap’s baffles, sides and lid. Using the specialised vacuum we suction out any solidified grease particles that may be lodged in the recesses of the trap. Next, we refresh the grease trap and free the tank from obnoxious odors with a little elbow grease, a steel pot scrubber, dish soap and tepid water. Thoroughly scrub down the grease trap’s baffles, sides and lid. Flush out the soap and debris a few times using clean water. You’re left with a sparkling clean grease trap—one you should have every four to six weeks.
We will ensure the grease trap is free from all traces of FOGs and that blockages do not prevent water from easily draining. Grease Trap Cleaning SA will properly dispose the collected fats, oils and greases.
Grease traps should be cleaned every four to six weeks, at the least. Bacteria additives,which organically break down the waste, may be used to lessen the frequency of cleanings.

Commercial kitchens are required to house a grease trap on their premises. Fats, oils, greases and solids (FOGS) are produced by cooking and a portion winds up in the kitchen drain.
The grease trap prevents the FOGS from clogging the city sewer system.

Restaurants, delicatessens and other food businesses can be heavily fined if a lack of grease trap cleanings cause a blockage in the sewer lines.
How does a grease trap work?
A grease trap is just that—an entrapment for grease. When residual FOGS are emptied into the commercial kitchen sink, the grease trap allows the water to sink to the bottom and drain into the city’s water supply. The floating grease remains at the top, where it can be accessed and removed.
Why are grease traps mandated?
Environmental regulations mandate that a grease trap be installed in food establishments to prevent greases from causing sanitary sewer backups or overflows. South Australian regulations also outline how often grease traps should be cleaned and maintained.
How often should grease traps be cleaned?
The frequency of restaurant grease trap cleanings vary with how often the kitchen produces FOGS. On average, cleanings should be performed every one to three months. Grease Trap Cleaning SA recommends restaurants, cafeterias and other commercial kitchens set up a regular service schedule to avoid missing critical cleanings.
Why does the grease trap fill up within 30 days?
The amount of grease your restaurant or cafeteria produces effects how quickly the grease trap fills up or reaches the one-quarter level. If the grease trap fills up within a month, consider resizing the grease trap. An appropriately sized grease trap is dependent on the type of food establishment, its water use and volume of FOGS.
Do all commercial kitchens require the same cleaning frequency?
Depending on the type of food establishment, the grease production will vary significantly—which also impacts the regularity of cleanings. A delicatessen or cafe will produce significantly less grease outputs than a large restaurant or hospital with a fryer.
What tips can staff use to reduce FOGS and cleanings?
Grease trap cleanings may be needed less often if minimal FOGS enter the grease trap.
Scrape all food waste from plates, utensils, pots and pans prior to loading them into the sink for washing. Be sure to discard the food waste into a compost receptacle.
Plan for oil spills, especially around frying/cooking stations or where the deep fryer is located. Do not allow oil splatters and spills to enter the drain.
Be careful with what foods are discarded into the sink’s garbage disposal. While it is tempting to assume a powerful disposal will conveniently clear away the waste, oils become emulsified; and FOGS solidify, defeating the efficacy of the grease trap.
