Interceptor Cleaning

You can avoid major drain clogs and other problems associated with a grease buildup by regularly cleaning your grease traps and grease interceptors. Contact Mile High Drain for an efficient grease interceptor cleaning service today. 

What Is the Difference Between a Grease Interceptor and a Grease Trap?

The grease trap and grease interceptor's functions are the same: They prevent FOG (fat, oils and grease) from entering the sewer system, causing blockages and other problems that will cost you money. Both only differ in size. A grease trap is smaller and ideal for a small restaurant or cafe. You'll need a grease interceptor if you have a larger commercial kitchen.


In Colorado, all businesses that provide a food service are required to install a grease trap or a grease interceptor. You also need to maintain them regularly to avoid hefty fines. Cleaning them at least twice a year is advised. You may need to do it more than twice if you have excessive grease or food waste.

How Do You Maintain Interceptors?

First, you need a trusted plumbing company to install grease interceptors correctly. It’s the only way to ensure the device works properly – you can avoid fines and other problems during an inspection when keeping your sewers and the environment healthy.


The next step is to hire a reliable company for routine interceptor cleaning. We don’t recommend DIY cleaning because maintaining interceptors involves more than removing grease. You must also properly dispose of your food waste and file a cleaning report with the district. To have peace of mind, hire Mile High Drain.
