Grease Interceptor Cleaning in Baton Rouge

Interceptor service, done to code

If your building has an outdoor in-ground unit — common for newer restaurants, strip-center kitchens, schools, and grocery delis across East Baton Rouge Parish — it needs periodic full evacuation by vacuum truck. That means all three layers: the floating grease cap, the water column, and the settled solids. Pumping only the top layer looks cheaper per visit and costs more per year.

• Full three-layer evacuation, any size from 500 to 3,000+ gallons
• Baffle and tee inspection while the unit is open — cracked tees are found free during a pump-out or expensively during a backup
• Waste manifested and hauled to a licensed disposal facility
• Dated records for your compliance file

How often?

East Baton Rouge’s ordinance sets the outer bound: interceptors must be cleaned at least every 90 days, and sooner if contents reach a third of the first stage (Sec. 2:273). Most full-service restaurants land at 60–90 days; heavy fry kitchens shorter. Trap size and daily covers set the real number — the frequency calculator estimates yours, and we’ll confirm it against what we actually find in the tank on the first service.

Scheduled around your service, not through it

Early morning or between dayparts, positioned so the truck doesn’t block your drive-through or deliveries. A standard interceptor pump-out is on site well under an hour.
