Priority Pumping Service provides highly-trained professionals to address all of your non-hazardous liquid waste removal needs. We are fully licensed and insured and are available to help you whether your business is a small, single location facility of a major corporation with multiple sites. At Priority Pumping, we use state-of-the-art equipment that is not only always clean but also, therefore, consistently presentable at your business location. We dispose of your waste only at local, authorized wastewater treatment facilities and always provide dumping manifests to our commercial customers for maintenance records.
Sand, Oil, Grit & Lint Interceptor tanks require regular pumping and cleaning in order to properly filter and hold designated solids from entering the local sewer system. These solids are called FOG (Fats, Oils, Greases). Many city programs are categorized as a FOG program. Waiting it out for a city inspector to stop by and flag your interceptor maintenance is not the right way to go! City regulations state that interceptors of this nature should be pumped every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
Priority Pumping Service Agreements
We value the meaning of a handshake and want you to see our Service Agreements the same way.
Our service agreement is a “handshake” from our company that we will show up on time, provide exceptional service and keep you on track with your required interceptor pumping maintenance. This agreement provides peace of mind that Priority Pumping will consistently take care of your facilities for your desired time period. A longer agreement entitles you to some additional services at discounted pricing.
After establishing a pumping service agreement with Priority Pumping, each interceptor pumping service includes:
- Inspection of all baffles and interior of the tank and lids
- Estimates for any repairs needed
- Photos of your pumping service, before and after
- Electronically stored and emailed invoices with waste manifests for inspectors
- Convenient folder to keep 3 years of records together in one easy-to-find document
City inspectors or municipalities can issue large fines for not regularly maintaining your interceptor. With Priority Pumping, maintenance schedule and service agreement, you will no longer need to remember to schedule your interceptor pumping service! We will remind you and quickly schedule it for you on a date that works best for your company.
What Is An Interceptor?
An interceptor is a concrete trap (box) that filters the FOG from the wastewater and allows a cleaner flow of water to the sewer system. This prevents heavy backups and clogging issues within the sewer system.
A properly functioning interceptor will keep FOG levels entering the city sewer system to a minimum. The size of interceptors depends on the grease-loading fixtures inside the facility. Sometimes several establishments can go into one interceptor.
Often, interceptors require waste profiling at a local wastewater disposal facility. First, we promptly take a sample of the wastewater. Next, we profile it within 48 hours. Afterward, we can quickly schedule your pumping service. Note that profiles are valid for two years. This profiling process helps our wastewater treatment facility understand the type of waste, determine the most effective treatment method, and ensure that the liquid is non-hazardous.
Interceptors should be pumped EVERY 3-6 months depending on usage.
