Grease Traps and FOG Removal
Grease traps require full attention. A kitchen interceptor must be "pumped to the floor, not skimmed" to prevent code violations and drain clogs. We clean 1,000 to 1,500 gallon grease trap units on a 90-day cycle, ensuring all fats, oils, and grease are hauled to a permitted facility. Documentation is critical, so we file the FOG report required by the county before an inspector arrives. If you need to understand how tank pump-outs work, our team explains the process clearly. We coordinate with Skokie development services to keep your commercial operations compliant and clean. For emergency backups or scheduling, call Septic Tank Pumping at (224) 407-3768 to speak with a technician today.

Sized for commercial flow
Lift Stations and Grit Traps
Lift stations demand heavy-duty equipment. Our vacuum trucks carry 2,600+ gallons to clear the largest wet well in a single pass. This process differs from standard home septic tank service because industrial grit traps contain denser solids, requiring us to manage complex access points around active commercial sites. We schedule this work early, late, or during your slowest hours so that your Skokie business keeps running without interruption, ensuring that even the most stubborn sediment basin is fully evacuated while our team maintains a clean, efficient, and professional job site throughout the entire operation.

What Skokie operators say
Trusted by Skokie Businesses
"Septic Tank Pumping cleared our grease trap before we opened in Skokie. They filed the Cook county report by lunch, leaving no smell or issues for the health inspector to flag."
"The crew arrived at 5 a.m. to pump our lift station behind the Skokie building. They finished before the first tenant arrived and handed me the waste manifest on the spot. Call (224) 407-3768."
"Got the whole kitchen pump-out done on schedule and came back with every manifest signed and stamped from the permitted disposal site. First crew that kept their paperwork this clean."
Commercial questions
Answers Before You Book
Will you shut down our kitchen to pump the grease trap?
No. We schedule commercial pump-outs around your operating hours, such as early mornings or after close, so your grease trap is emptied without interrupting service in Skokie, with most jobs running between $375 and $950 per our tank pumping cost guide.
Do you file the FOG report with the county or city?
Yes. We handle the county and city FOG report for your records during every fats, oils, and grease removal service, so all documentation stays complete before an inspector ever asks.
Is the grease recycled, or actually hauled away?
It is hauled away. Everything pumped from your tank leaves the site for a permitted disposal facility, with each load documented on a waste manifest, and nothing is ever recycled back into the system or left on your property.
Can you handle a lift station or grit trap, not just a septic tank?
Yes. Our industrial vacuum trucks, carrying 2,600+ gallons, effectively draw down wet wells, grit traps, and interceptors in a single visit, ensuring your system remains fully operational.
We manage several properties — can you set a recurring schedule?
Yes. From a single restaurant to a multi-unit or industrial site you set pumping interval, run capacity assessment for higher-volume systems, and keep manifests on file to prevent backups; a kitchen without a drainfield can use no-drainfield tank scheduling.
