Regular removal of grease and oils from grease traps must be done to prevent solid waste from building up within the trap causing blockages to your system.
Cleaning schedules for commercial grease trap cleaning are determined by local water authorities. FOOTT can set up a reminder service to advise when your scheduled service is due to ensure you never miss a service.
Let us take out the worry of compliance for you. We follow strict EPA guidelines in correctly disposing of this waste at an EPA accredited facility for recycling.
The purpose of having a triple interceptor trap is to prevent waste material from entering the public sewer. It is usually installed in between the waste pipes and sewer lines in commercial kitchens which allows the grease trap to accumulate and collect the oil and grease.
If not cleaned promptly, all the bacteria, organic waste, fat, oil and grease will accumulate and start to clog both the waste pipes and underground drainage systems.
The frequency of cleaning is usually set by your local water authority. FOOTT can assist to establish a regular servicing schedule to ensure your business remains compliant. Let us take the hassle out of remembering when your triple interceptor needs cleaning.
Cost of grease trap or triple interceptor cleaning depends on the size of your unit or pit. The cost is determined by number of litres pumped out of the unit and includes service fee and liquid waste disposal fee charged at an approved EPA facility.
FOOTT can assist you to determine the size of your unit, and quote accordingly. Our experienced team can set up a regular service schedule to prevent your grease trap or triple interceptor from overflowing and impacting your business operation.

Learn moreBoth systems are designed to stop unwanted materials entering the sewer, but they are used for different types of waste. A grease trap is primarily designed to capture fats, oils, grease and food-related solids from commercial wastewater, making regular cleaning of the grease trap important for businesses that have commercial kitchens (for example). A triple interceptor is designed to capture a broader range of contaminants before wastewater reaches the sewer and may be used where other solids, oils or trade waste are present. FOOTT provides cleaning and pump-out services for both grease traps and triple interceptors, and we can help establish an appropriate servicing schedule for your system.
When a grease trap is not cleaned regularly, fats, oils, grease and other solid waste can build up inside the system. Over time, this can contribute to unpleasant odours, blockages, overflows and problems within waste pipes and underground drainage. Regular grease trap cleaning services help remove this accumulated waste before it affects the operation of your system or your business. FOOTT can arrange scheduled servicing to help keep your grease trap maintained and compliant with local requirements.
The right grease trap cleaning frequency depends on the size of your system, how much grease and wastewater your business produces, and the servicing requirements set by your local water authority. FOOTT can help establish a regular commercial grease trap cleaning schedule. Keeping up with scheduled servicing helps reduce the risk of blockages, overflows and disruptions to your business.
