Blocked Drain Plumber in Footscray — 24/7 Emergency Service

It depends on trap size relative to how much cooking the kitchen does, the type of food, and the trade waste agreement you hold with your water retailer. A high-turnover kitchen doing a lot of frying or working with coconut-based and animal fats will need servicing far more often than a café. The practical signs you have left it too long are slow floor wastes, smell in the kitchen and gurgling from the trap. Scheduled servicing is almost always cheaper than an emergency clear during service.

It can, in effect — a kitchen that cannot drain cannot operate safely or hygienically, and an overflowing trap creates both a health risk and a trade waste compliance problem. That is why we prioritise commercial callouts and schedule planned work outside service hours wherever possible. Call 0423 481 312 and tell us you are a trading venue.

A trap only captures what reaches it, and only while it has capacity. Common causes of blockages downstream of a working trap include grease hardening further along a line with poor fall, food solids and starch settling before the trap, a trap undersized for the kitchen’s actual output, or a structural problem in the waste line itself. A camera inspection of the line distinguishes between these quickly.
