Grease Traps - Logan, Gold Coast, Redlands and Brisbane

Grease Trap Maintenance guide

How to maintain your grease trap:

• Have a good hard look at the structure and check:
• Does the lid fit and close firmly – leaving NO gaps for insects or small mammals to squeeze through – they can slip through VERY small gaps and slots so check thoroughly.
• Are there any cracks or chips in the lid or on the walls of the grease trap? Concrete grease traps are especially prone to developing cracks or big chips in the lids.

Regular Cleaning

• Are all the baffles in place? The number of baffles will depend upon the design. Smaller grease traps often have 3 baffle plates but inspection often reveals one or more missing or broken. If the trap was designed for 3 baffles it needs three baffles to do its job effectively.
