For businesses in gastronomy, commerce, and industry, the correct operation of grease, oil, and fuel separators is a legal obligation. Regular, professional maintenance and recurring leak testing are essential to meet regulations, protect the environment, and avoid costly operational failures.
As one of the few certified leak testing companies in Austria, we are your specialized partner for this responsible task. We offer you a full service that includes the professional cleaning and maintenance of your separator system, verification of correct disposal, and recurring leak testing according to ÖNORM B2503. With us, you are legally and technically on the safe side.
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about separator cleaning.
Yes, professional maintenance, emptying and inspection of separator systems is legally mandatory for companies in Austria. Compliance with the intervals (usually half-yearly maintenance, 5-year general inspection) not only ensures proper operation, but also prevents expensive operational disruptions and protects the building fabric.
Our full service ensures that you meet all legal requirements. We take care of the professional cleaning and emptying of the system, the proper disposal of its contents and the maintenance of the technical components. As one of the few certified leak testing companies, we also carry out the periodic leak test in accordance with ÖNORM B 2503.
The costs for our service can be planned and budgeted. They depend on the size of your system and the agreed scope of services. Our goal is to provide you with a cost-effective solution that prevents expensive emergencies. Contact us for a clear and transparent offer that is tailored exactly to your needs.
The exact intervals depend on the type and size of your system as well as the use and are regulated by legal regulations. As part of our initial assessment, we create an individual maintenance plan for you that is tailored exactly to your system and regulatory requirements so that you no longer have to worry about anything.
Only a certified company such as DerKanal.at can provide you with the legally compliant documentation you need for the authorities. Certification is your guarantee that the work is carried out professionally in accordance with the applicable standards. With us, you are always on the safe side during inspections.
If the inspection reveals that the separator system or its inlet and outlet pipes need rehabilitation, our service does not end there. As a full-service provider for all areas of sewer technology, we can prepare a professional and transparent rehabilitation plan for you on request. This way, you conveniently get analysis, maintenance and solution from a single source.
A neglected system poses a significant risk. It can lead to blocked drain pipes, strong odors and, in the worst case, environmentally harmful substances leaking into the soil. This can result not only in high repair costs but also in heavy fines from the authorities.
The first and most important step is to empty the separator system completely and clean it thoroughly. With our powerful vacuum trucks, such as our special vehicle “Die Mücke”, we remove all contents (grease, oils, sludge) quickly and cleanly. The inner wall surfaces are then professionally cleaned to restore full functionality.
After cleaning, our technicians carry out professional maintenance and inspection of all technical components. This includes checking the inner wall surfaces for corrosion, function testing of the electrical equipment and a general condition analysis. All work carried out is fully documented in the legally required maintenance log.
As one of the few certified leak testing companies in Austria, we carry out the legally required, recurring leak test in accordance with ÖNORM B 2503. This is the official proof that your system is completely watertight and that no environmentally harmful substances can enter the soil.
