Grease Interceptor Cleaning in Calgary & Surrounding Areas
Professional pump-out and cleaning of commercial grease interceptors for restaurants, food facilities, commercial kitchens, and property managers.
Professional Grease Interceptor Cleaning for Commercial Properties
Larger commercial grease interceptors collect fats, oils, grease, food solids, and wastewater residue from busy food-service operations. Over time, this material builds up and needs to be removed.
Grease Trap Care provides grease interceptor pump-out and cleaning for restaurants, commercial kitchens, food facilities, and properties with larger interceptor systems.
We offer one-time cleaning and recurring service throughout Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, Okotoks, and surrounding communities.

Our service is focused on removing accumulated grease and waste and cleaning accessible areas of the interceptor.
Pump-Out
Accumulated liquids, grease, oils, food solids, and collected waste are removed from the interceptor.
Interior Cleaning
Accessible interior surfaces are cleaned to remove remaining grease and accumulated residue.
Recurring Service

Signs Your Grease Interceptor May Need Cleaning
Grease interceptors can accumulate significant amounts of fats, oils, grease, food solids, and other waste over time.
Heavy Grease Buildup
A thick grease layer or large amount of accumulated solids inside the interceptor is a clear sign that cleaning is due.
Strong Odours
Persistent grease or food-waste odours around the interceptor may indicate that accumulated material needs to be removed.
High-Volume Kitchen Use
Restaurants and other busy food facilities may require more frequent interceptor cleaning because waste accumulates faster.
Cleaning Is Overdue
If the last cleaning date is unknown or your regular service interval has passed, it may be time to schedule a pump-out and cleaning.
