We Maintain Grease Traps in Murwillumbah
Why are Grease Traps Important?
When preparing food in your kitchen, it’s easy to simply throw everything down the drain. However, fats, oil and grease will damage your pipes over time—this can be very costly! These substances also have negative impacts on the environment and aquatic life. One way to prevent this is to install grease traps into the sinks of your restaurant, café or commercial kitchen.
Here at Pootanky in Murwillumbah, we can help with this! We provide comprehensive grease trap servicing. including inspections, pumping, regular maintenance, cleaning and removing accumulated grease, oils, fats and solids from the trap and preventing them from entering sewer systems and causing clogs.
A grease trap is a device which sits within your piping system to intercept grease and separate it from the water. It slows down the flow of the water and allows it to cool, as the grease separates and solidifies. The cooler water will continue down your pipe while the grease remains trapped, ready for removal.
EPA Approved Waste Removal
We recommend that grease traps are cleaned every 1-3 months, depending on how much grease goes down the drain. The cleaning process is simple; the traps are removed from your sink and any residual water is placed into a bucket or removed with a small pump. We then set this water aside and scoop all the grease from your trap.
When we dispose of your grease, it is collected in a separate entity to
septic waste, following EPA guidelines. Our service is fully compliant with these guidelines. We service grease traps in
