Triple interceptor maintenance

Protect your drains, stay compliant, and keep hydrocarbons out of Victoria’s waterways with professional triple interceptor cleaning and pump outs.

Over time, triple interceptor systems fill with sludge, hydrocarbons, and grit. Without regular pump outs, they lose capacity, can cause blockages, foul odours, overflows, and may put your business in breach of trade waste and environmental regulations.

Our expert team provides EPA-compliant triple interceptor cleaning, pump outs, and waste transport for businesses across Ballarat, Geelong, Western Melbourne, and regional Victoria.

Reliable interceptor cleaning for factories, transport depots, equipment wash bays, manufacturing facilities, and any site that manages oily or sediment-laden wash water. Our service includes pump outs, high-pressure cleaning, and the safe transport and disposal of all collected waste.

How often should triple interceptors be cleaned?

Cleaning frequency depends on:

The type of business and daily throughput

Volume of solids (grit, dirt, sludge) entering the pit

Oil and fuel load in the wastewater

Conditions of your trade waste agreement

Many sites schedule 3–12 monthly pump outs, with more frequent servicing for high-volume wash bays or heavy hydrocarbon loading. We can review your current system, water authority requirements, and historical pump-out records to recommend a preventative maintenance schedule that keeps you compliant and avoids emergencies.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does triple interceptor cleaning involve?

We pump out all chambers, remove sludge, oils, and contaminated water, then high-pressure clean internal surfaces and lines. All waste is transported to an EPA-approved facility and we provide documentation for your records and inspections.

Do you only clean triple interceptors?

No. We also service septic tanks, grease traps, liquid waste pits, wash bays, and other trade waste infrastructure, allowing you to consolidate your liquid waste services with a single provider.

Will my business need to shut down during cleaning?

In most cases, we can schedule work outside peak hours or arrange staged cleaning to minimise downtime. For some sites, short wash bay downtime is required while we work; we’ll plan this with you in advance.

Can you help with trade waste compliance?

Yes. While your water authority sets the trade waste conditions, we can help you by:
Setting up appropriate cleaning intervals
Providing service records and waste transport documentation
Identifying issues that may lead to non-compliance (e.g. overloaded pits, damaged baffles, or bypassed treatment)

What areas of Victoria do you service?

We cover Ballarat, Geelong, Western Melbourne, and regional Victoria, including the Surf Coast and North Western Victoria.
