You deserve the highest level of service

North Bay Restaurant Services — operating locally as East Bay Restaurant Services — provides professional grease interceptor pumping in Alameda County for high-volume kitchens, restaurants, and food-service facilities.

Our team handles large outdoor grease interceptors with complete FOG removal, confined-space entry when required, and detailed photo documentation for your records. From Oakland to Fremont, our specialized fleet of vacuum tankers ensures every interceptor is pumped, cleaned, and restored to the highest standard — helping you stay compliant, avoid fines, and protect your plumbing infrastructure.

We also perform sanitary tee replacements and specialize in helping facilities recover from deferred maintenance situations. When tanks contain heavy, solidified grease, our team can perform steam cleaning and confined-space entry to safely break down buildup and return your interceptor to proper working condition.

Why Alameda County Facilities Choose
Our Interceptor Pumping Team

Large-Capacity Equipment for Large-Scale Systems
We operate 5,000-gallon and 6,300-gallon vacuum trucks designed to handle interceptors ranging all the way up to 10,000+ gallons. Our equipment allows full evacuation of solids, grease, and liquids in fewer loads — reducing your downtime and disposal costs.

Thorough Cleaning & Transparent Documentation
Every service includes before-and-after photos, FOG measurement readings, and detailed service notes uploaded directly to your customer portal. You’ll always have a complete record of your maintenance history.

Confined Space Entry & Safety Certified
When interceptors require a deeper internal cleaning, our technicians are fully certified in OSHA-approved confined-space entry procedures. We follow strict safety protocols, including air monitoring, tripod and harness systems, and dedicated attendants to ensure a safe and thorough cleaning.

Preventive Hydrojetting & Flow Restoration
Our hydrojetting services can be performed before or after pumping to clear inlet and outlet lines, remove hardened buildup, and restore proper system flow.

Coordinated Multi-Service Scheduling
We can align interceptor service with hood cleaning or kitchen floor steam cleaning for efficiency and convenience.
(Used cooking oil recycling is scheduled separately through our oil division to maintain environmental compliance.)

Our Grease Interceptor Pumping Process

  1. Inspection & Measurement – We begin every service with a detailed inspection of your interceptor. Our technicians check grease and solids levels, verify that inlet and outlet sanitary tees are intact, confirm that lids are sealing properly, and ensure all bolts and hardware are secure and not stripped or corroded. We also evaluate whether hydrojetting is needed based on the liquid levels and flow conditions inside the tank. Afterward, we share all of these observations with you so you can stay ahead of potential issues and plan maintenance proactively.
  2. Full Pump-Out – All contents — grease, sludge, and water — are completely removed using one of our powerful vacuum trucks.
  3. Interior Washdown – The interceptor’s walls, baffles, and lids are scraped down to remove hardened grease and solids.
  4. Hydrojetting (Available If Needed) – Connected pipes are jetted to clear residual grease and improve flow.
  5. Confined Space Cleaning (As Required) – For tanks with heavy buildup, our trained team enters safely to steam clean, scrub, and restore full capacity.
  6. Final Report – Before-and-after photos, measurements, and technician notes are compiled into your digital NBRS report.
