Stay Ahead of FOG Compliance
Sonoma County sanitation districts enforce FOG (fats, oils and grease) programs: interceptors must be serviced on schedule and records kept for inspection. The common rule of thumb is the "25% rule" — when grease and solids reach a quarter of the trap's depth, it must be pumped. We track your service intervals, keep manifests on file, and can provide documentation directly to your inspector, so a surprise health-department visit is never a problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a grease trap need pumping?
Most Sonoma County kitchens need service every 30–90 days, based on volume and trap size. The standard "25% rule" applies: once grease and solids fill a quarter of the trap, it is due. We set the interval after the first service and adjust as needed.
Do you provide manifests for health inspections?
Yes. Every service includes a written manifest documenting date, volume and disposal. We keep copies on file, so if your records go missing before an inspection, one call restores them.
Can you service our kitchen outside business hours?
Yes — early morning and after-close appointments are standard for restaurants so a pump-out never disrupts service. Route days are planned around your hours.
What happens if a grease trap is neglected?
Blocked drains during dinner rush, odors in the dining room, sewer backcharges from the sanitation district, and fines for FOG violations. A scheduled $225–$450 service is far cheaper than any one of those.
