The Septic & Grease Trap Service Fix Kit
Built for septic pumping, grease trap and vacuum truck service companies.
The disposal facility that receives your septage or grease-trap waste charges you, the hauler, a precisely metered rate per gallon — a real number the facility knows to the fraction of a cent. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

The 7 leaks it covers
6 you can close it · 1 a pro decides
- Disposal tickets that don't match the jobs run (integrity line)Where to look first: Legal disposal is the cost of doing this job. It is not a cost to cut. Each week, lay your disposal tickets next to the jobs you ran.Keep it from coming back: No job is closed out until its disposal ticket is matched to it.You can close it
- Tank-entry work priced inside a flat pump-out, pushing crews to skip confined-space stepsWhere to look first: Going inside a septic tank is confined-space work under OSHA rules, and because of sewer gas it usually counts as a 'permit-required' space. Entering one is a different job from pumping one.Keep it from coming back: Ask before every job whether entry may be needed, and quote it separately.You can close it
- Disposal fee treated as a cost to dodge instead of the price of legal workWhere to look first: The fee you pay a permitted facility is part of the cost of meeting federal and state rules for septage. It is not a markup to avoid. Every load goes to a permitted facility, with a ticket or manifest, every time - slow week or not.Keep it from coming back: Keep a ticket for every load, filed by job, the same day.You can close it
- Big-gallon jobs billed at the same flat price as small onesWhere to look first: Your disposal tickets already show the real size of every job. Lay this month's disposal tickets next to this month's invoices.Keep it from coming back: Write the gallons from the ticket on every invoice before you send it.You can close it
- Flat price per pump-out while the disposal facility charges by the gallonWhere to look first: Get your disposal facility's current rate sheet. Ask whether they bill on gallons actually unloaded or on your truck's tank size - some bill on tank size.Keep it from coming back: Re-run your per-job disposal cost each time your facility changes its rates, before your next quote.You can close it
- Grease trap schedules set by the '25% rule' instead of each city's actual ordinanceWhere to look first: The '25% rule' is a common industry guideline, not one federal law. The schedule a restaurant must keep is whatever its local sewer authority's ordinance says. For each grease account, find the city or sewer utility it discharges to.Keep it from coming back: Look up the ordinance before you quote any new grease account.You can close it
- Self-employment tax not set aside through the yearWhere to look first: Open a separate savings account just for taxes, if you don't have one.Keep it from coming back: Move the set-aside the same day money lands. Check your tax account against your income once a month.A pro decides

Disposal tickets that don't match the jobs run (integrity line)
You can close itLegal disposal is the cost of doing this job. It is not a cost to cut.
- Each week, lay your disposal tickets next to the jobs you ran.
- Every pump-out should have a ticket from a permitted facility. If one is missing, find out why that day and get the paperwork.
- Make sure your price on every job covers the disposal fee. If it doesn't, change the price, not the disposal.
Your part: Haul every load to a permitted facility and keep every ticket.
LINE FOR YOUR QUOTES AND INVOICES: "Your price includes legal disposal at a permitted facility. We keep the disposal ticket for every job and can show it to you on request."
No job is closed out until its disposal ticket is matched to it.
What this kit can't decide for you: We never name or accuse any operator. This row is an integrity line, not a recoverable leak.
That's 1 of 7. The other 6 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

Questions people ask
Should septic pumping be priced by the gallon?
Flat pricing while the disposal facility charges by the gallon is a leak the kit covers.
How often should grease traps be pumped?
By each city's actual ordinance, not the '25% rule'. The kit shows how.
How should tank-entry work be priced?
On its own, not inside a flat pump-out. The kit flags the safety risk too.
What it can't decide for you
This kit works from your own records. It doesn't give legal, tax, licensing or financial advice, and it never tells you what to charge. Where a CPA, attorney, insurer or state board makes the call, the kit says so and gets your records ready for them.
