How does Kearny Mesa's climate affect this service?
Kearny Mesa is 100% city sewer, the commercial-industrial corridor has no septic infrastructure. The Convoy District restaurant row, Aero Drive warehouses, and Spectrum Center commercial buildings all run on municipal sewer. Commercial grease-trap pumping is the most-requested service line we provide in Kearny Mesa.. Central San Diego cleanings are rare but happen for sale prep on the legacy parcels still on septic.
How is a cleaning different from a pump?
A pump empties the liquid and most of the solids, usually 80-90% of the volume, and is the right move every 3-5 years. A cleaning evacuates 100%, washes the walls, and resets the tank. A pump is routine maintenance; a cleaning is restart, sale prep, or post-contamination work.
Will a cleaning slow down the system?
Slightly, for 2-4 weeks. The bacterial colony that breaks down solids takes time to rebuild after a full evacuation. We add a starter biological additive at the end of the cleaning to speed restart. After about a month, the system is back to full performance.
