Restaurant Grease Trap and Interceptor Cleaning

Keep the health inspector happy and the kitchen drains flowing with scheduled grease interceptor pumping and cleaning.

Fats, oils and grease (FOG) from a commercial kitchen are the number one cause of kitchen drain blockages and a leading cause of municipal sewer overflows. Grease traps and interceptors catch FOG before it enters the sewer, but only if they are cleaned regularly. A full trap stops working, smells and violates local rules.

We pump and clean traps and interceptors, scrape and wash the walls, check the baffles and lids and then jet the lines in and out of the trap. We keep service records for your inspections and set up schedules matched to your volume, whether that is monthly, quarterly or in between.

Questions

Grease Trap Cleaning FAQ

How often should a grease trap be cleaned?

A common rule is when it reaches about a quarter full of grease and solids, which often means every one to three months for busy kitchens. Your local rules decide.

What is the difference between a trap and an interceptor?

Traps are small, usually under the sink, and interceptors are larger, often in the floor or buried outside.

Do you dispose of the waste?

We handle it through approved disposal channels, and records are available.

Can you size a new interceptor?

Our planner gives a starting estimate, and your local code officials set the final requirements.
