Essential Protection Against System Failure
Installing a grease trap for septic system setups is one of the most important and cost-effective steps you can take to protect your French drain or soakaway from blockage. With so many opinions and technical variations across septic system literature, it’s easy for property owners to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we offer a simple, proven solution based on decades of experience in South Africa.
Grease traps—also called fat traps—are designed to capture greasy substances that enter wastewater systems via kitchen sinks, dishwashers, showers, washing machines, and hand basins. Over time, these fats and oils can cause severe blockages in the soakaway, reduce the efficiency of your septic system, and result in costly repairs and emergency call-outs.
By installing a basic, low-maintenance grease trap under a gulley head, homeowners and facility managers can prevent the most common reason septic tanks and soakaways fail. In fact, we consider the grease trap to be the single most essential component in ensuring the long-term functionality of any on-site sanitation system.
Long-Term Savings, Simple Setup
The grease trap for septic system that we supply is manufactured from high-quality plastic and built to last for decades with minimal attention. Positioned strategically below a gulley head, it intercepts fat before it enters your drainage infrastructure. This not only reduces the need for frequent septic tank emptying but also significantly extends the life of your soakaway.
Unlike some systems that require intensive installation or complex maintenance, our grease trap is intentionally simple. It can be installed quickly with minimal disruption, and once in place, it performs its job without fanfare—quietly and reliably protecting your entire system.
Best of all, it comes in four different sizes, making it easy to choose the correct model for residential or commercial applications. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to improve your current septic system, or a contractor working on a new build, we have a grease trap solution to match your needs.
