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 reaches the limit set by the sewer authority's rules. 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.
From busy strip mall diners to high-volume kitchens, Active Plumbing handles grease trap pumping and cleaning for commercial operations throughout the Las Vegas Valley. The sewer authority for the address, such as the Clark County Water Reclamation District, sets maintenance rules, 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 makes grease breakdown and odor buildup worse than in cooler climates, making consistent service schedules non-negotiable for code compliance.
We document each service with detailed manifests for your records and inspections. 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.

Slow drains, sour odors, and backups during service when an interceptor stops holding back fats, oils, and grease. Valley heat keeps grease mobile through the day and congealed overnight, and Clark County food service establishments must keep the interceptor working and the service records current.
We measure FOG accumulation levels, check baffles and seals, and assess whether the trap size is adequate for your kitchen volume.
Complete pump-out of all contents including settled solids and floating grease. We scrape walls and baffles and flush inlet and outlet pipes.
We provide pump-out documentation for your health department records and transport waste to licensed disposal facilities with proper manifests.
We set up your maintenance schedule based on your kitchen volume and your sewer authority's requirements - typically every 30, 60, or 90 days.
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. New commercial accounts get a written price before work begins.
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 licensed disposal facilities.
Grease interceptor work is performed by Active Plumbing under Nevada State Contractors Board license #0047021. Waste hauling and disposal follow Southern Nevada Health District requirements, and discharge to the sewer is subject to the local pretreatment program.
Active Plumbing provides scheduled and emergency grit trap service for commercial properties throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. Grit traps require routine attention because fine sediment compacts over time and becomes harder to extract the longer it sits.
Service visits include a condition assessment before pumping begins, so technicians can flag any cracking, corrosion, or baffle damage that would affect performance between visits. Properties with heavy sediment loads, such as those near construction corridors or unpaved lots common on the valley's edges, may need more frequent service than their permit schedule specifies. We coordinate service timing to avoid peak business hours and provide the same disposal manifests and maintenance records issued for grease trap work, keeping your facility ready for Clark County inspections. Call (702) 438-3357 to set up a service schedule.
Grit traps collect sand, sediment, and fine solids that grease interceptors are not designed to capture, and Active Plumbing pumps both types of units for commercial accounts across Clark County. Car washes, automotive shops, and food processing facilities often require dedicated grit trap service separate from standard grease trap maintenance.
Pumping a grit trap involves vacuuming out accumulated sand and sediment, flushing the chamber walls, and inspecting the outlet for any blockage that sediment buildup may have caused in connected drain lines. Neglected grit traps can restrict flow just as severely as overloaded grease interceptors. We transport grit trap waste to licensed disposal facilities and provide service documentation the same way we do for grease trap pump-outs. Call (702) 438-3357 to schedule service.
Interceptor pits are large in-ground chambers, sometimes holding several thousand gallons, that serve high-volume commercial kitchens where under-sink units are insufficient. Active Plumbing cleans interceptor pits throughout Las Vegas Valley using vacuum trucks capable of handling the volume and depth these buried units require.
Cleaning an interceptor pit goes beyond standard pumping. Technicians must remove accumulated solids from the floor of the chamber, scrape buildup from internal walls and baffles, and verify that the inlet and outlet connections are clear. Access lids and risers are inspected for integrity during each service visit. Because interceptor pits hold significantly more waste than compact interceptors, pump-out frequency is set based on actual accumulation rates and Clark County Water Reclamation District requirements rather than a fixed calendar. Contact Active Plumbing to assess your pit size and establish an appropriate service interval.
Real reviews from customers we've served for Grease Trap Pumping & Cleaning.
The attic coil condensate was overflowing because the trap went dry. A new trap, cleanout, and a wet-switch shutoff on the furnace. That call was from Boulder Junction. The ceiling stain is history.

A copper sweat joint above the pantry failed after a nearby remodel. They cut back, used a press fitting, and supported the run. We were in Cottonwood Terrace, Summerlin. The pantry ceiling is the only patch we painted.

The house lost water whenever the irrigation clock ran. A dedicated irrigation tap upstream of the PRV with its own shutoff. That call was from Belvedere. Showers no longer starve when the lawn drinks.

Grease trap pumping in Las Vegas typically runs $150-$400 depending on tank size and grease volume. Heavily used commercial kitchens with larger interceptors pay more. Active Plumbing gives you a written price before any work begins.
It depends on the size of the interceptor against the volume of your kitchen, not on a calendar rule someone quoted you. A busy kitchen with an undersized trap may need monthly service; a larger interceptor in a lighter operation runs considerably longer. What decides it is how quickly grease and solids fill the capacity. We will set an interval from your actual usage and adjust it once we have seen how the trap fills.
Grease carries over into the sewer line, which is where the expensive problems start: blockages, backups into the kitchen, and a line that needs jetting rather than pumping. A backup during service closes you, and for a food premises that is a health issue as well as a lost day. Scheduled pumping is almost always cheaper than emergency clearing plus the downtime.
Food establishments answer to the Southern Nevada Health District alongside whatever the county or city requires, and grease management is part of what gets looked at. Keeping service records matters as much as doing the service, because an inspector asks for documentation rather than assurances. We provide a written record of each visit for exactly that reason.
Yes, and for most kitchens that is the sensible arrangement. Tell us your service times when you book and we will schedule around them. A trap being pumped during dinner service is nobody's idea of a good evening.
Keeping solids out of the sink with proper strainers, scraping plates before washing, and never pouring oil down a drain even with hot water behind it, because it cools and congeals further down the line. Those habits genuinely extend the interval between pumping and reduce the chance of a line blockage between visits.
Yes, and on a commercial kitchen the two are related. If grease has already carried over, pumping the trap does not clear what is in the line, and jetting is what restores the pipe to full bore. A camera run tells us whether you have a line problem developing rather than just a trap that needs emptying.
Nevada requires a state contractor's license issued by the Nevada State Contractors Board, and you can verify any license free at nvcontractorsboard.com before you hire. Active Plumbing holds license #0047021 and has worked the valley since 1991, with a 4.9 star rating across more than 880 Google reviews. Ask for the number rather than a reassurance, and ask for proof of liability insurance at the same time.
