Grease Interceptor Cleaning in Calgary
Full pump-out and inspection of in-ground and large-capacity interceptors, including units under parking areas and mechanical rooms.
In-ground interceptors hold far more volume than an under-sink trap, which is exactly why they get neglected. Nothing looks wrong in the kitchen until solids reach the outlet baffle and the line backs up mid-service.
We service in-ground and large-capacity interceptors across Calgary: full liquid and solids removal, baffle and inlet inspection, lid and access check, and a written record of what came out and what condition the unit is in.
Signs you need this service
- Floor drains draining slowly or gurgling
- Odours near the interceptor lid or loading area
- Grease visible at the outlet side of the unit
- No service record in the last six months
- Solids crust thick enough that the inlet is partially blocked
How we do the work
- 01
Access and confine
Locate the unit, set up around traffic and pedestrian routes, and open the lids safely.
- 02
Measure before pumping
Record liquid depth, grease cap thickness and solids depth so the service interval can be based on real numbers.
- 03
Full pump-out
Remove the entire contents — grease cap, water column and settled solids — rather than skimming the top layer.
- 04
Wall and baffle clean-down
Clean interior walls, baffles and the inlet and outlet tees so the unit works as designed on the next cycle.
- 05
Inspect and refill
Check baffles, tees and lids for damage, note anything failing, and refill with clean water where appropriate.
- 06
Document and schedule
Provide a service record and a recommended interval based on the measurements taken.

Staying ahead of the problem
Interceptors fail on a schedule you can predict. Once we have depth and grease-cap measurements from two or three visits, the interval stops being a guess and the emergency call stops happening.
Questions about grease interceptor cleaning
What is the difference between a grease trap and a grease interceptor?
The terms overlap in everyday use. In practice, a grease trap usually means a smaller under-sink or in-kitchen unit, and an interceptor means a larger in-ground tank sized for the whole kitchen. Both separate fats, oils and grease from wastewater; the interceptor holds much more and is serviced with a vacuum truck.
Do you clean the whole unit or only pump the top layer?
The whole unit. Skimming the grease cap leaves settled solids behind, which is the part that eventually blocks the outlet.
Can you service a unit under a parking lot?
Yes. Units under parking and drive areas are common in Calgary; we set up around traffic and reinstate the lids when finished.
