Wastewater Interceptor Cleaning

Our innovative approach lowers the cost of interceptor cleaning and is more environmentally friendly than traditional methods. 

Onsite interceptor emptying and cleaning services

Our vehicles have on-site processing capabilities that allow us to remove all the solid waste in the interceptor and all suspended solids found in the water, returning clean grey water to the interceptor, which helps stop ground pressure to the tank. All the solids stay onboard the tanker and are taken to a contaminated waste reception centre, meaning your actual waste processing costs are massively reduced.

What is an interceptor?

A grease trap, or grease trap interceptor, is a device designed to capture and separate grease, oils, and fats from wastewater before it enters the drainage system.

Commonly used in commercial kitchens, the trap prevents clogs and blockages in pipes by allowing grease to solidify and float to the surface while cleaner water flows through. Regular maintenance is essential to keep it functioning effectively and avoid environmental issues.

Cleaning and maintenance programme

Interceptors are underground chambers that collect surface water, grit, soil and silt, along with any hydrocarbons to help minimise pollution and prevent flooding. 

With a scheduled interceptor cleaning and maintenance programme, Sweeptech, can ensure your interceptor assets are working at peak performance, helping you to meet your environmental obligations.

Complete solutions tailored to your specific requirements

Multiple sites?

Not a problem. The more interceptors we can clean in a working day, the more money you save through efficient scheduling, reducing your environmental carbon footprint in the process.

Service station forecourts are a good example where our innovative approach is helping businesses to save money.
