Grease Interceptor Pumping in San Leandro

Our San Leandro Interceptor Pumping Process

1. Arrival & Access – We arrive in the early morning with a large-capacity vacuum truck, position safely, and remove the interceptor lids for access.
2. Measurement & Condition Check – Before pumping, we look at grease and solids levels, check inlet and outlet conditions, and note any structural concerns such as damaged baffles, compromised sanitary tees, or lids that are not sealing well.
3. Full Pump-Out – The entire interceptor is pumped down, including grease, water, and settled sludge. We do not perform partial pump-outs, because those leave material behind that can shorten the time between services
4. Assessment for Hydrojetting or Deferred Maintenance – If we see evidence of heavy buildup on walls, channels, or piping, we’ll let you know if hydrojetting or a deferred maintenance cleaning (such as steam cleaning inside the tank) would be beneficial.
5.  Component & Lid Review – We confirm that lids are seating properly and that sanitary tees and visible internal components appear intact. If something looks compromised, we’ll flag it so you can plan repairs instead of being surprised by a failure later.
6. Follow-Up Summary – After the service, your team receives a brief follow-up summary outlining what we found, what we did, and anything we recommend going forward. This helps you stay ahead of issues and document maintenance at the same time.
7. Note: We do not rinse interceptors as part of standard pumping, since that would require on-site water access and additional setup. Deep cleaning and steam work can be scheduled as separate deferred-maintenance projects when needed.
