What Is Grease Trap Pumping & Cleaning?
{"heading": "What Is Grease Trap Pumping?", "body": "Grease trap pumping involves removing accumulated fats, oils, and grease from the interceptor tank installed between your kitchen drains and the municipal sewer connection. The trap must be pumped before FOG accumulation exceeds 25% of the tank capacity per Clark County regulations. Pumping includes removing all contents, scraping the baffles and walls, and flushing the inlet and outlet lines to restore full flow. We haul the waste to licensed disposal facilities."}
About Grease Trap Pumping & Cleaning in Las Vegas Valley
From busy strip mall diners near Green Valley to high-volume kitchens along State Street corridors, Active Plumbing handles grease trap pumping and cleaning for commercial operations throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Clark County Water Reclamation District mandates regular maintenance intervals, and our technicians arrive with vacuum pump trucks rated for both under-sink interceptors and large in-ground grease traps, following IAPMO and local UPC standards. Nevada's extreme heat accelerates grease breakdown and odor buildup faster than cooler climates, making consistent service schedules non-negotiable for code compliance.
We document each service with detailed manifests required by Clark County inspectors. Our crews regularly service restaurants in Henderson and North Las Vegas, handling everything from 50-gallon interceptors to 2,000-gallon outdoor units. Grease buildup that reaches your branch lines often signals a need for Drain Cleaning as a follow-up service, which our team handles under our broader Drain & Sewer Services.
For kitchen remodels requiring new trap installations or plumbing upgrades, we also offer Water Softener Installation to address Las Vegas's notoriously hard water. When backups become urgent, our Emergency Plumbing response is available around the clock. Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 to schedule your next service visit.

Costs & Timelines - What to Expect
Grease trap pumping costs depend on trap size and condition. Standard restaurant grease traps (50-100 gallon) typically cost $250 to $450 per pump-out. Larger commercial interceptors (500-2000 gallon) range from $500 to $1,200. Emergency pump-outs during business hours carry a premium. Scheduled maintenance programs offer reduced per-service pricing. We provide free estimates for new commercial accounts.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
We use commercial vacuum trucks rated for FOG and sewage waste extraction. Pump-out includes mechanical scraping of baffles and trap walls that vacuum alone cannot clean. Inlet and outlet lines are flushed with high-pressure water to clear any buildup in the connecting pipes. All waste is transported in sealed tanks to Clark County licensed disposal facilities.
