Are you looking for grease trap installation in Perth? At Liquid Force Plumbing and Gas, we install and replace grease traps for cafes, restaurants, commercial kitchens and food manufacturing sites across the Perth metro area. Whether you are fitting out a new kitchen, renovating an existing site, or replacing a trap that is undersized, blocked or no longer compliant, our licensed plumbers perth will size, supply and install a system that handles your real waste volumes and passes council and water authority inspection.
Benefits of a Proper Grease Trap Installation
Investing in a professional grease trap installation is crucial for several reasons:
- Stay Compliant: A correctly sized and correctly installed trap keeps your kitchen within local council and water authority trade waste requirements, so you can trade without the risk of warnings, fines or a forced shutdown.
- Protect Your Plumbing: Fat, oil and grease are the leading cause of blocked kitchen drains. Catching them at the source stops hardened build-up inside your pipework, reduces emergency call-outs and keeps your kitchen running through service.
- Cut Ongoing Costs: A trap that is too small or badly installed backs up, smells and needs constant pump-outs. Getting the sizing and installation right the first time reduces servicing frequency, extends the life of the system and protects the equipment downstream.
We Offer All in One Grease Trap Installation in Perth
At Liquid Force Plumbing, we specialise in grease trap installation for Perth food businesses, providing cafes, restaurants, takeaways, bakeries, hotels and food manufacturers with compliant, correctly sized grease management systems. A well-designed grease trap is essential for a clean, safe and legally compliant kitchen, and for keeping fat, oil and grease out of your drains and the wastewater network. Whether you are fitting out a new venue, renovating an existing kitchen, or replacing a trap that failed inspection, our licensed plumbers will ensure your site has the system it actually needs.
- Stay Compliant: A correctly sized and installed grease trap keeps your kitchen compliant with your local council and Water Corporation trade waste requirements. Getting it right from day one means you can trade confidently without warnings, fines, or a forced shutdown during service.
- Protect Your Plumbing: Fat, oil and grease are the single biggest cause of blocked commercial kitchen drains. Catching them at the source stops hardened build-up inside your pipework, reduces emergency call-outs and keeps your sinks, floor wastes and dishwashers flowing properly.
- Avoid Costly Downtime: A backing-up grease trap closes kitchens. Installing the right unit before problems start means no lost trading hours, no ruined prep and no scramble for an after-hours plumber mid-dinner service.
- Reduce Odours and Pests: Traps that are undersized or poorly vented turn rancid quickly and draw flies and rodents. A properly installed and sealed system keeps smells contained and removes the conditions pests look for.
- Cut Pump-Out Costs: An oversized or undersized trap both cost you money, one through unnecessary servicing, the other through constant emergency pump-outs. Correct sizing and installation reduces how often the trap needs emptying and extends its working life.
- Meet Fit-Out and Renovation Requirements: A new kitchen, an added cooking line or a change of use will all change your waste volumes. We assess your drainage layout and install a trap that suits the new configuration, so your approval and certification process is not held up.
- Fix Underperforming Traps: If your current trap is overflowing, letting grease through to the sewer or constantly tripping inspection, replacement is usually the cheaper long-term answer. We remove the old unit and install a correctly matched trap without disrupting your trading.
- Protect Your Reputation and Your Lease: Grease escaping into the sewer network can lead to council notices, surcharges and landlord disputes. A compliant, well installed system protects your standing with your landlord, your council and the water authority.
Types of Grease Traps We Install
At Liquid Force Plumbing, we supply and install the full range of grease management systems used in Perth commercial kitchens. Our team matches the trap to your kitchen type, cooking volume, available space and site access, so the system performs in the real world rather than just on paper. Here are some of the types of grease traps we install:
Under-Sink Grease Traps
The most compact option, fitted directly beneath the sink or in the adjoining cupboard. Ideal for small cafes and takeaway kitchens with limited floor space and moderate cooking loads.
Passive Grease Traps
Simple gravity-fed units with no moving parts, where fats and oils rise and are retained while water passes through. Reliable, low maintenance and well suited to kitchens with steady, predictable volumes.
Hydromechanical Grease Traps
These units use baffles and flow control to separate grease more efficiently in a smaller footprint. A strong choice where space is tight but cooking output is high, such as busy grill and fryer kitchens.
Gravity Grease Interceptors
Large capacity interceptors that rely on retention time to separate grease from wastewater. Typically used in high volume venues and food manufacturing where a single trap serves multiple fixtures.
Above-Ground Grease Interceptors
Installed at floor level inside a plant room or service area, these are the easiest type to inspect and service. A practical solution where excavation is not possible or where maintenance access matters most.
Below-Ground Grease Interceptors
In-ground vault style units set outside the building, used where internal space simply is not available. We handle excavation, bedding, connections and reinstatement as part of the install.
Automatic Grease Removal Units
Motorised systems that skim and collect grease automatically and deposit it into a container for easy disposal. Suited to high turnover kitchens that want to reduce manual handling and servicing frequency.
Pumped and Multi-Stage Systems
Where gravity drainage is not achievable, we install pumped systems and multi-chamber configurations that lift and treat wastewater before it discharges. Common in basement kitchens and refurbished heritage sites.
Our Grease Trap Installation Process
Assessment:
We start with a thorough evaluation of your kitchen, cooking equipment and waste volumes to determine the right grease trap size and type for your site.
Planning:
Our team will create a detailed plan, covering trap location, capacity, plumbing connections and servicing access, so the system performs properly and stays easy to maintain.
Installation:
Using advanced techniques and equipment, we install your grease trap efficiently, working around your trading hours to keep disruption to your kitchen minimal.
Inspection:
After installation, we conduct a comprehensive inspection and flow test to confirm the trap is separating and discharging correctly, then brief your team on servicing and pump-out requirements.
Why Choose Us for Grease Trap Installation?
Expertise and Experience
Our licensed plumbers install grease traps every week across Perth’s hospitality and food manufacturing sectors. We understand how different kitchens actually behave, from a 20 seat cafe running two fryers to a multi-outlet venue with heavy wok and rotisserie loads, and we size and site the trap accordingly rather than working from a generic chart.
Quality Materials
We supply traps built to handle hot, greasy commercial waste day after day, with welded bodies, corrosion resistant fittings and proper seals and lids. Using components that hold up to constant wash-down and regular pump-outs means fewer leaks, fewer odours and a system that keeps performing long after the warranty period.
Customised Solutions
No two commercial kitchens produce the same waste profile, and no two sites have the same space, access or fall available. We assess your fixtures, cooking volume and plumbing layout, then recommend a trap type and capacity that suits your operation and your budget, including above-ground, in-ground, under-sink and automatic options.
Advanced Technology
We use CCTV drain camera inspection to map your existing pipework and confirm condition, falls and connection points before any work starts. That way we can pick the right location for the trap, spot any pre-existing damage that would undermine a new install, and avoid surprises once the floor is opened up.
