Built around your business
Commercial Septic Pumping
We handle heavy industrial waste. Our crews perform commercial septic pumping in Portland using high-capacity vacuum trucks designed for large multi-unit sites and food-service facilities. We mirror standard residential tank maintenance by drawing each chamber down to the floor, yet we scale the operation for your specific volume and operating hours. If a sudden backup threatens your business, we provide emergency pump-out dispatch to keep operations running. We provide all necessary compliance paperwork to satisfy local inspectors, following standards aligned with water environment federation resources while serving the Portland area and nearby OR towns.

Grease Traps and FOG Removal
Grease traps require diligence. A kitchen interceptor must be "pumped to the floor, not skimmed" to avoid code violations. We pull every 1,000 to 1,500 gallon grease trap down to the walls, haul the FOG to a permitted facility, and file the reports required by Portland development services. You can learn how tank pump-outs work by calling us directly at (503) 707-2486 for service. We manage the quarterly 90-day rhythm for your business, ensuring that if a unit hits capacity, our emergency dispatch moves a truck fast to keep your kitchen drains flowing while maintaining compliance with all local Portland development services documentation standards so your records remain clean for every inspector.
-
Full evacuation removes all sludge and scum, ensuring the trap is pumped to the bottom, not just surface skimmed.
-
All extracted fats, oils, and grease ship to permitted disposal, never recycled.
-
We provide the FOG report for your records after every service in Portland, Multnomah.
Sized for commercial flow
Lift Stations and Grit Traps
Commercial systems require heavy equipment. Our industrial vacuum trucks hold 2,600+ gallons, clearing a large grit trap or sediment basin in a single pass. This is distinct from standard home septic tank service, as we manage larger chambers, heavier solid loads, and site access that must remain functional for your staff. Because a lift station or wet well in Portland operates under constant pressure, we schedule our work during your off-hours, early mornings, or slow days to ensure your business continues running without any sanitation interruptions or costly downtime for your employees.

"Septic Tank Pumping Service arrived at 5 a.m. to clear our lift station behind the building. They finished before tenants arrived in Portland, and I had the waste manifest in hand immediately after."
"Needed pump-out documentation for an audit and Portland Septic Tank Pumping Service delivered every time. Manifests always list the disposal facility by name and the trucks come back spotless."
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 the trap is emptied without interrupting service in Portland, and you can check our tank pumping cost guide for prices between $375 and $950.
Do you file the FOG report with the county or city?
Yes. We complete the county and city FOG report during every fats, oils, and grease removal, update your customer records immediately, and finish all documentation before any 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, is documented on a waste manifest, and is never 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, which carry 2,600+ gallons, effectively draw down heavy wet wells, grease traps, and large interceptors in a single visit without needing returns.
We manage several properties — can you set a recurring schedule?
Yes. From single restaurants to multi-unit sites, we set pumping intervals based on usage, run a capacity assessment for higher-volume systems, keep manifests on file to prevent backups, and apply no-drainfield tank scheduling for kitchens without a drainfield.
