What Type of Grease Interceptor Do You Have?
Not all grease traps are the same — the size, type, and location of your interceptor determines how often it needs service and what equipment we bring. We service every interceptor type across Pittsburgh, McKeesport, Bethel Park, Monroeville, and all of Pennsylvania.
Under-Sink & Indoor Units
Small interceptors (20–250 gallons) beneath prep sinks or in kitchen floors. Common in cafes, small restaurants, and concession kitchens. Most require monthly to quarterly service.
Hydromechanical Interceptors
High-efficiency units from Josam, Jay R. Smith, and Zurn. Compact but require frequent service due to smaller capacity. We service all makes and models in Pittsburgh.
Outdoor Underground Interceptors
Large-capacity units (500–2,500+ gallons) buried outside the building. Found in full-service restaurants, hotels, and institutional kitchens across Pittsburgh. Require our vacuum truck.
Not Sure Which Type You Have?
Call (419) 318-6433. We’ll ask two questions and tell you exactly what you need — no sales pitch.
The 6-Step Grease Trap Cleaning Process
Every service call in Pittsburgh, McKeesport, and across the Pennsylvania area follows the same documented process — whether it’s a 30-gallon under-sink trap or a 2,000-gallon outdoor interceptor. No shortcuts, no partial pump-outs.
01.
Pre-Service Inspection
We measure grease cap thickness and solids depth. Both are recorded on your compliance manifest before we touch anything.
02.
Complete Pump-Out
Our vacuum truck removes 100% of grease, liquid, and solids. We don’t do partial pump-outs — a half-cleaned trap fails the 25% rule within days.
03.
Manual Scrape
We manually scrape the lid, side walls, inlet baffle, and outlet baffle. Hardened buildup the pump can’t reach is removed by hand.
04.
Baffle Inspection
Inlet and outlet baffles are checked for cracks, displacement, or corrosion. Damaged baffles cause compliance failures — we flag them on-site.
05.
Hot Water Flush
Hot water flush confirms free flow and cleans the interceptor walls. We verify no grease remains adhered before closing the unit.
06.
Manifest On-Site
The completed EPA waste transport manifest is handed to you before we leave. Keep it on file — inspectors ask for it.
