Recurring maintenance plans
We set an interval that fits your volume and put you on the calendar so the trap never sneaks up on you.

FAQ
Grease trap questions
How often should my grease trap be pumped?
It depends on your trap size and how much grease your kitchen produces. Busy kitchens often need monthly service; lighter ones can go longer. Tac will look at how your kitchen runs and recommend an interval, then we put you on a recurring schedule.
Are you permitted to haul grease trap waste?
Yes. TCS Septic holds a Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) liquid waste hauler permit.
Do you keep records for CSU FOG inspections?
Yes. We keep a dated service log for every grease trap we pump, recorded by location, and you can get a copy any time, whenever you need it for a CSU FOG (fats, oils and grease) inspection.
Who answers when I call?
Tac or the TCS office, not a call center. Call or text Tac's mobile at 719-492-6818, or the office at 719-640-0111.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency grease trap service?
Yes. TCS offers 24/7 emergency grease trap service. If your trap is overflowing or your kitchen drains are backing up, call or text Tac at 719-492-6818, day or night.
Can you service a trap that's hard to get to?
Yes. We specialize in difficult and hard-to-get-to grease traps: tight basements, under-floor and back-of-kitchen traps, alley access, long hose runs and buried interceptors. If other haulers have passed on yours, call us.
Do you clean the lines too?
Yes. We jet and clean grease-clogged kitchen and sewer lines, and can run a camera to find the problem before anyone digs.
Do you install or replace grease traps?
Yes. We pull old steel traps, set new interceptors with new plumbing, and patch the floor, all with one crew.
