Before You Call

Grease Trap Cleaning: Common Questions

How often must a grease trap be pumped?

Most jurisdictions use the 25% rule: pump when grease and solids reach a quarter of capacity. For a busy kitchen that's typically monthly to quarterly. Keep the manifests — inspectors ask.

Trap vs interceptor?

Small under-sink units are traps; large in-ground vaults are interceptors. Same job, different scale — and different service equipment, so confirm the company handles your type.

How do I check a company's license?

Ask for their Washington L&I contractor number and verify it at secure.lni.wa.gov/verify — active license, bond, and insurance. Listings above with a green badge are ones we've already matched to an active license in state records.
