Professional Plumbing Services You Can Trust
Grease traps are mandatory for most commercial food preparation premises in NSW, intercepting fats, oils, and grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer system and cause blockages. Tradetek Solutions provides professional grease trap cleaning, pumping, and maintenance services for restaurants, cafes, takeaway shops, hotel kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities. We are licenced liquid waste transporters and ensure all waste is disposed of at approved facilities in full compliance with EPA regulations.
We work with you to establish a cleaning schedule that keeps your grease trap compliant and functional — before it overflows or causes problems. Our technicians measure grease and sludge levels, pump out all waste, scrape and clean internal baffles, inspect the trap condition, and document everything for your trade waste records. We handle all the paperwork and can set up automated scheduling so you never miss a clean.
Common Plumbing Issues We Solve
1Overflowing Grease Traps
A neglected grease trap will eventually overflow, sending FOG directly into the sewer and creating foul odours, hygiene issues, and potential council fines. Regular scheduled cleaning prevents overflow and maintains compliance.
2Foul Odours
Grease traps can produce strong, unpleasant odours — especially when overdue for cleaning or when biological breakdown is occurring. Regular pumping combined with bacterial treatment products can significantly reduce odour between cleans.
3Council Compliance Notices
Local councils and water authorities audit commercial food premises for grease trap compliance. Non-compliant businesses face fines, trade waste surcharges, and potential shutdown orders. We keep your records up to date and your trap within compliance limits.
4Grease Trap Damage
Grease traps can crack, corrode, or develop failed seals over time. During every cleaning visit, we inspect the trap's structural condition and recommend repairs or replacement before problems escalate.
