Interceptor Maintenance
Keeping your interceptor system properly maintained is one of the simplest ways to reduce pollution risk, avoid operational disruption and help prevent more costly problems further down the line.
CSG provides interceptor maintenance services for commercial and industrial organisations across the UK, supporting businesses with planned servicing, inspections, fault identification and ongoing preventative maintenance.
Planned maintenance helps keep interceptors operating effectively while reducing the risk of drainage failures and environmental incidents.

How Does Our Interceptor Maintenance Service Work?
While interceptor emptying and cleaning focuses on removing waste and clearing build-up, maintenance is about making sure the system itself is operating properly.
That can include functional checks, servicing components, inspecting alarms, identifying defects and helping sites stay reactive to potential issues.

Fuel & Oil Interceptor Cleaning
A clean forecourt also depends on the drainage infrastructure beneath it. Regular interceptor emptying removes accumulated oil, water, silt and debris, helping reduce blockages, overflows and pollution risks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Interceptor Maintenance Services
What does interceptor maintenance include?
While the exact scope will depend on the type of interceptor you have and site requirements, our maintenance plans can include:
- System inspections
- Functional checks
- Alarm testing
- Servicing visits
- Identifying faults or defects
- Planned preventative maintenance support
- Recommendations for repairs or further works where required
Is interceptor maintenance the same as interceptor emptying?
No. Interceptor emptying and cleaning focuses on removing waste, sludge and contaminated water from the system.
Maintenance is more focused on checking the condition and operation of the interceptor itself, including alarms, components and overall system performance. Need both? We can help with both! Get in touch with our team if you’d like to arrange interceptor services tailored to your site.
Do you remove the interceptor contents as part of maintenance?
Not always. Maintenance visits may involve inspection and servicing work only. Where required, interceptor emptying and cleaning can be arranged alongside maintenance works as part of a combined service visit. Let us know if that’s something you’re interested in and we can provide you with a quote.
What problems can maintenance help resolve?
Regular maintenance can help identify issues and reduce the likelihood of them becoming larger (and more costly) operational issues over time. Here are some of the most common issues we see:
- Faulty alarms
- Build-up affecting performance
- Mechanical defects
- Electrical issues
- Poor system operation
- Early signs of blockage or overflow risk
Do you offer planned preventative maintenance schedules?
Yes – we can create a planned preventative maintenance (PPM) programme around your site’s needs.
My interceptor alarm is sounding - what should I do?
If your interceptor alarm has activated, it’s usually a sign the system requires inspection or attention. When this happens, give the team at CSG a call; our engineers can assess the situation and advise on the next steps depending on the condition of the system.
Can maintenance reduce how often we need cleaning or emptying?
Good maintenance can help systems operate more efficiently and may help reduce excessive build-up or prevent avoidable issues developing.
However, interceptors will still require periodic emptying and cleaning based on usage and waste volumes.
Can you provide RAMS or site paperwork before attendance?
Yes. Where required, we can provide RAMS and supporting site documentation ahead of planned maintenance visits.
Do you carry replacement parts or source components?
Our engineers may carry certain commonly required components depending on the nature of the visit.
Where specialist parts or replacements are needed, we’ll advise on sourcing the components and next steps following inspection.
