How often should I pump my septic tank in California? ›
Most homes in Los Angeles County need pumping every 3–5 years. Households with more people, garbage disposals, or high water use may require every 2–3 years. We recommend inspection when sludge reaches 25–30% capacity.
What are the signs my septic tank needs pumping? ›
Slow drains, gurgling pipes, foul odors around drains or yard, sewage backups, pooling water, or unusually green grass over the drain field. Call us immediately if you notice these signs.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost in Los Angeles? ›

How often do restaurants need grease trap cleaning in Los Angeles County? ›
Every 30–90 days depending on volume. Los Angeles County’s 25% Rule requires immediate cleaning when FOG exceeds 25% capacity. High-volume kitchens often need monthly service.
What is the 25% Rule for grease traps? ›
Los Angeles County regulation: Clean the trap when combined grease, oil, and solids reach 25% of liquid depth. We recommend servicing at 15–20% to stay safely compliant.
Is septic pumping or grease trap cleaning required by law? ›
Yes. Both require licensed waste haulers, proper manifests, and 90-day record keeping. Violations can lead to fines, closures, and environmental penalties.
Can I clean my own septic tank or grease trap? ›
No. California law requires licensed professionals for legal disposal and required documentation. DIY work can result in violations and liability.
What is the difference between a grease trap and grease interceptor? ›
Grease traps are small indoor units (under 100 gallons) for single fixtures. Grease interceptors are large outdoor tanks (1,000+ gallons) serving the whole kitchen and required for most new restaurants.
What happens if I don’t pump my septic tank regularly? ›
Sludge buildup clogs the drain field, causing backups, contamination, odors, and expensive system failure or replacement (often $20,000+).

Backups, kitchen shutdowns, health violations, and fines of $250–$1,000+ per day. Severe cases can lead to temporary closure.
