Interceptor Cleaning

What is interceptor cleaning

Firstly, it is important to understand exactly what interceptors actually are – interceptors are commonly referred to as oil, grease, and water traps that are used to collate a particular substance. Over time these interceptors will need cleaning and maintenance work so that the interceptors can work as intended. Here at Elliott Drainage, we are able to effectively and quickly clean your interceptors to ensure that they work at an optimal level. Our interceptor Cleaning service operates 24 hours 7 days a week. Get in touch with a member of the team today if you have any questions.

The size of the interceptor depends on the surface area of the site and the amount and size of vehicles, plant and machinery which is being operated. For larger interceptors man entry is usually required and all Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd Engineers are Confined Space Trained. We carry out Confined Space Entry operations at some of the largest gas and electrical plants in the Country.

Why do you need interceptor cleaning?

Interceptors are essential in preventing unauthorised discharge into watercourses and land drains. Interceptors are an industry-accepted method of controlling liquid waste. However, a non-maintained interceptor will not fulfil the purpose for which it was installed, causing blockages and possible surcharging of the interceptor. This could lead to the waste being held in the interceptor overflowing into the watercourse or Local Authority drains possibly leading to fines and prosecution and costly cleanup costs.

Why are interceptor inspections & pumpings important?

Ensuring interceptors are inspected and maintained regularly will help with the longevity of your interceptors and also ensure that there will not be a build up in wastewater, debris and other items that could potentially cause problems to the interceptor. Our expertly trained staff will be on hand to fix any problems that may show up during the inspection. Having your interceptor pumped regularly will also ensure any waste product left behind from the cleaning process will be removed and the interceptor will be able to function as it used normally.

Our Oil Interceptor Cleaning Service

A common occurrence when we visit interceptors is the build-up of oil and the effect that this can have on interceptors and their ability to work properly. Oil can be an extremely corrosive substance and if interceptors are left uncleaned oil will easily build up preventing water from easily passing through and could lead to floods. We will physically inspect the interceptor and ensure that it is working as it should with any excess oil cleaned and removed from the interceptor.
