Grease Interceptor Pumping
Interceptor pumping is the high-volume removal step for large in-ground grease tanks. A vacuum truck with enough tank capacity draws down the entire interceptor so nothing is left to keep loading the next cycle.

Interceptors are sized in hundreds or thousands of gallons, so the truck has to match the tank. A 1,000-gallon interceptor may fit in one load, while larger tanks can need a second truck or a return trip. Knowing the tank size before the visit avoids a half-finished job.
- Confirm tank size and number of chambers
- Match truck capacity to the tank
- Plan parking and lid access
- Schedule around trading hours

The crew lowers the suction hose through each manhole, draws down the floating grease first, then the water and finally the settled solids. Each chamber is pumped in turn so solids do not slide from one side to the other.

Once the tank is empty, the crew checks the baffles and outlet, closes and seals the lids, and records the volume removed on the manifest. The volume figure is useful: if it climbs between visits, the kitchen is sending more grease and the interval may need to shorten.

A pump-out empties the tank; cleaning and inspection protect it. Indoor traps use a smaller version of the same process.
One call books the truck, the crew and the paperwork.
