How much does it cost for commercial kitchen grease trap pumping?

Please call us for a quote. Pricing varies based on the size of the trap, distance, and logistics for our trucks. We do offer discounted pricing for automatically scheduled jobs. We take the stress off of you and automatically come on a monthly, quarterly, or biannual grease trap pumping to make sure the system stays clear of grease to avoid backups!

What are some signs of a septic system emergency?

Liquids coming back into the drains in a home, an alarm sounding, or toilets in the home that don’t flush. Gurgling, slow flushing, and lingering smells are a sign of a pending problem and a septic tank pumping should be planned soon.

What steps can homeowners take to maintain a septic system between pumpings?

Avoid excessive water usage, properly dispose of waste, and refrain from flushing non-biodegradable items. Regular septic inspections and using septic-safe products also contribute to system health.
Regular pumping is also important to maintain the health of the tank, lines and drain field.

What are the benefits of renting portable toilets?

For a large event, having clean and convenient portable toilets for your guests might encourage them to stay longer, possibly spend more, and overall enjoy their experience more. For smaller occasions, such as an event hosted at your home, having portable toilets will keep your floors cleaner and your septic tank from filling too high. For construction sites, having well-maintained portable toilets can keep workers’ morale high and improve job site efficiency.

How many portable toilets do I need to rent?

For a 4-6-hour event, we recommend renting 1 toilet per 100 guests. If alcohol will be served, then you’ll want to rent 1 toilet for every 70 guests. For example, if you’re expecting 250 guests for a 6-hour party where alcohol will be served, you’ll want to rent 3 portable toilets. For a construction site or a long-term rental, we recommend 1 toilet per 10 people for a 40-hour work week.

The chart below will give you an idea of how many toilets to rent based on attendance and event duration.
