Grease Trap Cleaning In Brisbane & South East Queensland

Lee’s Environmental provides grease trap or fat trap cleaning (also known as pumping, pumpout, removal or emptying of grease traps). Grease traps are enclosed cavities (round or rectangular in shape) usually dug into the ground and closeby to the kitchen which collect liquid waste which exits the kitchen sink. Because grease floats, it is “trapped” in between baffle walls inside the grease trap, while allowing the cleaner water to safely exit the grease trap. We service the Brisbane, South East QLD region and nearby regional areas, please contact us to enquire.

Cleaning frequency based on usage levels:

All households which are not connected to council sewerage will have a grease trap installed at the premises to trap grease to prevent the grease from blocking up outlet pipes and underground dispersion areas (called “absorption/aspiration trenches or “drain fields”).

Between 1 to 3 months of waste collecting in the grease trap, the grease should be removed to ensure the grease does not accumulate to the point where the grease will automatically exit the grease trap. Lee’s Environmental vacuums up this grease and all the contents of the grease trap with our high-power vacuum trucks. Our grease trap service also includes scraping down all walls and baffles inside your grease trap, hosing down the walls, reporting to you the customer on the condition of the grease trap and if any repairs or maintenance is required.

Because grease traps are located outside your house, you are not required to be at home while we perform your service, so you can avoid the temporary (15 minute) smell which emanates from the grease trap while the lid is open.

Lee’s Environmental offers free reminder calls to let you know when your grease trap is due for pumpout. Please email or phone (3206 4844) to add your household to our regular pumpout cycle. We look forward to hearing from you.

When trapped grease builds up between the baffle walls to the point where grease cannot be retained in the grease trap, it will automatically flow out of the outlet, eventually solidifying in outlet pipes and blocking up drains.

In addition to providing actual services for pumping grease traps, greywater sullage holding tanks and septic tanks, Lee’s Environmental is also able to provide repair and maintenance services to these items. Please see below for a complete listing of repairs and maintenance services we provide:
