What this site is

InterceptorCall is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect operators and property managers with independent contractors. Contractors and waste haulers are required to hold whatever credential and permit their state or municipality demands — ask to see them, because the manifest they leave you is a compliance record. We carry out no work, we haul nothing, we do not set prices, and we never charge the caller anything. Nothing here states the grease limit, the pumping interval or the device size that applies to any particular kitchen; those are set by your control authority and by your installation.

Trap or interceptor

A small under-sink trap and an in-ground interceptor are sized and serviced differently. Which one a kitchen needs follows from the fixtures and the flow, not from the floor area.

The dishwasher problem

Hot water and detergent emulsify grease so it passes straight through and sets further down the line. It is why dishwasher waste is excluded from some interceptors by code.
