Common Emergency Situations Grease trap overflow causing kitchen flooding or foul odours Blocked drains backing up into food preparation areas FOG buildup exceeding the 25% threshold ahead of a scheduled council inspection Sewer surcharge events linked to grease trap failure Pre-opening emergency cleans for new kitchen fit-outs running behind schedule Health department orders requiring immediate remediation The Emergency Response Process When you send an urgent enquiry, here’s what happens:

Enquiry passed on: We pass your details and location to a local contractor, who can tell you how quickly they can attend. Rapid deployment: A fully equipped vacuum tanker is dispatched to your site, typically arriving within 2-4 hours. Complete pump-out and clean: The contractor performs a full pump-out, high-pressure clean, and inspection of your grease trap system. Documentation: You receive a Waste Transport Certificate and compliance report on the spot. Prevention plan: Ask about a scheduled maintenance plan to keep the trap under control. Why Emergencies Happen Most grease trap emergencies stem from infrequent or inadequate maintenance. When FOG accumulation exceeds the 25% rule mandated by EPA Victoria and enforced by water authorities including City West Water, South East Water, and Yarra Valley Water, the trap can no longer separate grease from wastewater effectively. This leads to blockages, overflows, and potential environmental contamination — all of which carry significant fines and remediation costs.

Full EPA Compliance on Every Emergency Job Even in an emergency, the work must comply with EPA Victoria regulations. All waste is transported under proper chain-of-custody documentation and disposed of at licensed receival facilities. Your Waste Transport Certificate is issued on-site, ensuring you have the paperwork you need if your emergency triggered a compliance investigation.

Don’t Wait for a Disaster If you’ve had one emergency, you’re likely to have another without a proper maintenance schedule. Ask the contractor about scheduled maintenance plans, which keep you compliant and reduce after-hours callouts.
