Grease Trap Pumpouts for Homes | Sunshine Coast
Domestic grease traps need regular pumpouts too
If your home has a grease trap that’s part of your septic system or treatment plant, it needs to be pumped out just like any other tank. Grease traps fill up faster than you might think — and once they do, they can cause smells, blockages, or overflows.
We provide fast, reliable grease trap pumpouts for domestic properties only across the Sunshine Coast. We don’t service cafes, restaurants, or commercial kitchens — but if your trap is part of a household septic setup (including driveway sumps), we’re happy to help.
Signs your grease trap needs pumping:
- Unpleasant smells around the tank or drains
- Slow sink or kitchen drain flow
- Grease build-up near the tank inlet
- It’s been 6–12 months since your last service
If you’re unsure, we can inspect your setup and advise on the best timing for your system.

- Access and inspect the trap
- Pump out all fats, oils, and solids
- Clean the tank and fittings

FAQ
How often should a domestic grease trap be pumped out?
Usually every 6–12 months depending on household usage.
Do you service restaurants or commercial kitchens?
No — we only handle grease traps that are part of residential septic or treatment systems.
Can you do the grease trap and septic tank at the same time?
Yes@! That’s usually how it works, as it’s often more efficient to service both together.
What happens to the grease and waste?
It’s safely transported and disposed of at a licensed treatment facility.
Do I need to be home during the pumpout?
Not always. As long as we can access the trap safely. Let us know if there are any animals we need to be wary of.
