Grease Trap Servicing
A grease trap is a plumbing device designed to collect all fats, oils and grease (FOGs) from commercial kitchens to prevent them from entering into our wastewater systems. They are commonly found in restaurants, cafés, takeaway shops and other places where a commercial kitchen is in use such as a rest home or a school.
To avoid blockages the cleaning frequency of your business’ grease trap is stated in your Trade Waste Consent set by Council. OVTS provide efficient and routine scheduled cleaning of your grease trap to ensure your business is complying with the regulated cleaning schedule stated in your Trade Waste Consent set by your local Council.
By engaging OVTS to oversee your regular grease trap servicing, your business will not have to worry about overspills, bad smells, blockages, and expensive emergency grease trap repairs.
