What this site is
InterceptorCall is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect operators and property managers with independent contractors. Contractors and waste haulers are required to hold whatever credential and permit their state or municipality demands — ask to see them, because the manifest they leave you is a compliance record. We carry out no work, we haul nothing, we do not set prices, and we never charge the caller anything. Nothing here states the grease limit, the pumping interval or the device size that applies to any particular kitchen; those are set by your control authority and by your installation.Philadelphia in numbers

The dishwasher problem
Hot water and detergent emulsify grease so it passes straight through and sets further down the line. It is why dishwasher waste is excluded from some interceptors by code.
The local rule is the only rule
How often an interceptor must be pumped, how much may be left in it, and who may sign the manifest are all set locally. There is no national schedule, and a vendor quoting one is quoting its own convenience.

Checking a plumber in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has no state license for plumbers. Its Department of Labor and Industry states it has no jurisdiction and keeps no records of which municipalities require one, so the only reliable answer is your own city or township. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
