Grease Trap Problems Get Expensive Fast
A neglected grease trap rarely stays a small problem. As fats, oils, grease and food solids accumulate, your kitchen can begin dealing with slow drainage, unpleasant odours, overflowing interceptors and costly plumbing backups.
Interceptor Environmental helps Calgary businesses stay ahead of those problems with thorough grease trap cleaning, practical maintenance schedules and responsive service when something goes wrong.
Bad Odours
FOG and food solids sitting inside an interceptor can create persistent smells throughout the kitchen.
Backups & Overflows
An overloaded interceptor can cause wastewater to back up when your kitchen can least afford downtime.
Compliance Problems
Poor maintenance and missing service records can create unnecessary problems during inspections or City compliance reviews.

Calgary Wastewater Bylaw
Calgary Grease Trap Requirements: What Businesses Should Know
The City of Calgary Wastewater Bylaw requires food service establishments and other facilities where fats, oils and grease are released to properly maintain their grease interceptors.
At Least Every Four Weeks
Calgary requires grease interceptors to be serviced at least once every four weeks, or more frequently when the combined volume of fats, oils, grease and solids exceeds 25% of the interceptor's liquid capacity.
Complete Cleaning
Proper servicing involves removing the entire contents of the interceptor, thoroughly cleaning it and inspecting its components—not simply pumping off the top layer.
Keep Service Records
Businesses are required to maintain grease interceptor cleaning and maintenance records for a minimum of two years.
Our goal is to make regular grease interceptor maintenance easier for Calgary businesses to manage. Interceptor Environmental provides thorough service and clear records so you have a documented history of your grease trap cleaning.
How Often Should a Calgary Grease Trap Be Cleaned?
At least every four weeks under the City’s rule, and sooner when grease and solids reach 25% of capacity. Kitchen volume, trap size and menu decide how fast that happens, so we review your interval against what we find at each visit.

Grease trap cleaning isn't glamorous, but doing it properly matters. We believe customers should be able to see the quality of the work—not just read claims about it.

Calgary Grease Trap Cleaning FAQs
How often should a grease trap be cleaned in Calgary?
The City of Calgary requires grease interceptors to be serviced at least once every four weeks, or more often when the combined fats, oils, grease and solids reach 25% of the interceptor's liquid capacity. The right schedule depends on your interceptor size and kitchen volume.
What does professional grease trap cleaning include?
Proper service involves removing the interceptor contents, thoroughly cleaning the grease interceptor and inspecting its accessible components. Simply removing material from the surface is not the same as a complete cleaning.
Does my Calgary restaurant need to keep grease trap service records?
Yes. Calgary businesses with grease interceptors are required to maintain cleaning and maintenance records for a minimum of two years. Keeping organized service records also makes it easier to track maintenance history and future service requirements.
Do you offer recurring grease trap cleaning?
Yes. Interceptor Environmental provides scheduled grease trap maintenance for restaurants and commercial businesses. We can work with you to establish a recurring schedule based on your system and operating needs.
Do I need to sign a service contract?
No. Interceptor Environmental does not require a long-term contract for regular grease trap cleaning.
Do you provide emergency grease trap cleaning?
Yes. Contact us if your grease trap is overflowing, backing up, producing strong odours or causing drainage problems. Emergency service does not automatically come with an emergency surcharge.
What types of businesses do you service?
We work with restaurants, cafés, hotels, banquet facilities, grocery stores, commercial kitchens, property managers, institutional kitchens and other businesses that use grease interceptors.
What areas do you service?
Interceptor Environmental serves Calgary and surrounding communities including Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, Okotoks and Rocky View County. Contact us to confirm service availability for your location.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost in Calgary?
Your estimate depends on trap size, number of units, access and service frequency. Use our price calculator for your unit, or request a quote for a large interceptor or multiple locations. We confirm the final price before work begins.
Do you clean indoor traps and outdoor grease interceptors?
Yes. We clean under-sink and indoor grease traps as well as larger in-ground grease interceptors. Share the capacity and access details so we can plan the right service.
Can you clean before or after restaurant hours?
We plan service around your kitchen’s operating hours wherever possible. Let us know your preferred window when requesting service; availability is confirmed when we schedule the visit.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned regularly?
Accumulated grease and settled solids reduce the unit’s capacity to separate grease. Slow drains, odours, blockages and backups can follow. Missing service records also make it harder to demonstrate maintenance.
Are grease traps, grease pits and grease interceptors the same thing?
These names often refer to grease-separation systems, but their size and design differ. Grease trap commonly describes a smaller indoor unit; grease interceptor often means a larger in-ground system. Some operators call them grease pits, fat traps or grease tanks. We confirm the actual unit before quoting.
