Septic tanks should be pumped on average every 3 years, depending on how many people in a household and the tank size. At Grease King we will send you a reminder prior to your next maintenance service, so you can stay on top of your cleaning schedule. Regular maintenance keeps your septic tank flowing freely, saving you from unexpected backups and repairs.

Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include: Strong sewage smells coming from your domestic septic tank Unpleasant smells coming up through your toilet or drains in your home Slow draining bathrooms or backflow The toilet is slow to flush or starts to fill up after flushing Gurgling sounds in drains You haven’t had your septic pumped in 3 or more years Wet ground around septic tank For instances when your toilet is blocked or even overflowing, Grease King offer an emergency 24/7 services to help get you out of a smelly and messy situation!

Avoid flushing non-biodegradable materials like hair, diapers, cigarette butts, matches and feminine hygiene products. Also be weary of “flushable wipes”…we don’t recommend flushing them at all.

If the septic drain is able to be located right away, a standard job takes around 30 minutes.

We prioritise environmentally responsible waste disposal.

As an approved EPA waste transporter, we're committed to meeting stringent environmental standards from the time we collect waste through to dumping.

The frequency of grease trap cleaning depends on several factors: - Grease trap size - Grease production volume - Type of food served Typically, grease traps require cleaning every 3-6 months. However, high-grease kitchens may need more frequent cleaning. We recommend you check with your local water authority on how regularly you need it cleaned. Regular maintenance prevents unexpected backups and repairs, and keeps your grease trap flowing freely. At Grease King, we'll send you reminders before your next maintenance service, ensuring you stay on schedule and enjoy a hassle-free commercial kitchen.

If you don't clean your grease trap, grease can build up in your drains and cause blockages. Grease can also contaminate the watercourse and lead to pollution, which can result in fines.

Your local water authority usually determines how often to clean your grease trap.

No, you shouldn't use a garbage disposal instead of a grease trap.

If the grease trap is unobstructed and is able to be located right away, a standard job takes around 30 minutes.
