What Is Grease Trap Pumping & Manifests?
A service that removes all contents of your grease trap/interceptor—including floating grease cap, gray water, and settled solids—then scrapes and rinses interior surfaces, confirms baffles/tees and inlet/outlet condition, and provides chain-of-custody manifests with disposal site details.
For exterior interceptors, we also re-fill with water to working level after cleaning.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & safety first: Trained crews following FOG BMPs, confined-space rules (no entry without permit), and local discharge limits.
Defensible documentation: Manifests, volume logs, photos, and disposal receipts ready for inspectors and landlords.
Beyond a pump-out: Wall/baffle scraping, outlet tee check, gasket/lid review, quick line jet, and odor control.
One accountable team: We can jet grease laterals, camera lines, and repair/replace damaged components.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Don’t add enzymes/emulsifiers—they push grease downstream and risk violations.
Keep solids out—scrape pans to trash before sink/prep.
Note odors/slow drains or recent inspection notes for our techs.
Clear lids and access (no parked cars or stacked product).
Call our 24/7 dispatcher—we’ll pump, clean, document, and set your calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should we pump?
Follow the 25% rule (when combined grease/solids reach 25% of capacity) or your local ordinance—often 4–12 weeks.
Do you haul to a licensed facility?
Yes. You get a manifest and disposal receipt every service.
Will enzymes help between services?
We don’t recommend emulsifiers/solvents—they move FOG downstream. Focus on BMPs (scrape pans, sink screens) and the right schedule.
Can you service after hours?
Absolutely—overnight/early-morning windows are common to avoid disruption.
Is line jetting included?
A quick jet of inlet/outlet is included; extended jetting/CCTV can be added if recurring slowdowns persist.
Do you repair lids/tees/gaskets?
We carry common parts and can repair/replace with a clear line item.
