Service Overview
Grease Interceptor Installation With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
Outdoor grease interceptors — large underground units designed for high-volume commercial kitchens — are required by many municipalities when cooking volume exceeds what a standard indoor trap can handle. Getting the sizing, placement, and installation right from day one avoids costly rework and compliance headaches.
Lapin Services provides complete grease interceptor installation for restaurants, food service facilities, and commercial properties throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We handle everything from site assessment and permitting to excavation, installation, and final inspection.
Problems We Solve
Common Grease Interceptor Installation Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Required by Permit or Code Upgrade
High-volume operations, new construction, and kitchen expansions often trigger municipal requirements for a properly sized outdoor grease interceptor.
Indoor Trap Can't Handle Kitchen Volume
When cooking volume consistently overwhelms an indoor trap — requiring frequent pump-outs or causing compliance issues — an outdoor interceptor is the right long-term solution.
New Commercial Kitchen Construction
New builds and major renovations may require an outdoor interceptor as a condition of the building or food service permit.
Existing Interceptor Needs Replacement
When an aging or failed outdoor interceptor can't be repaired, full replacement — properly permitted and installed — restores compliance and function.
Multiple Kitchen Lines Requiring Combined Capacity
Food courts, multi-tenant kitchen spaces, and large facilities often require a single large interceptor to handle combined grease output from multiple sources.
When to Call
Signs Your Grease Trap Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Your Indoor Trap Needs Pumping More Than Monthly
Extremely frequent pump-outs signal that your current system is undersized for your kitchen's output — and an interceptor may be the code-required solution.
A Permit or Inspector Has Required an Interceptor
Municipal code requirements vary — if you've been told you need an outdoor interceptor, Lapin can handle the full installation process.
You're Building or Renovating a High-Volume Kitchen
Plan for an outdoor interceptor upfront rather than retrofitting one later — it's significantly less expensive and disruptive during the construction phase.
You're Taking Over a Large Food Service Facility
Before assuming responsibility for an existing facility, verify the interceptor meets current code and is in proper working condition.
Your Current Interceptor Is Cracked, Corroded, or Failing
A compromised interceptor that allows grease to enter the sewer system creates environmental liability and requires immediate replacement.

FAQs
Grease Interceptor Installation FAQs
What is the difference between a grease trap and a grease interceptor?
A grease trap is a smaller indoor unit typically installed under sinks or in kitchen floors. A grease interceptor is a larger underground unit installed outside the building, designed for high-volume commercial kitchens with greater grease output.
How do I know what size interceptor I need?
Sizing is based on your kitchen’s cooking volume, the number of fixture connections, and local code requirements. We assess your operation and size the unit correctly — oversizing and undersizing both create problems.
Do you handle the permits for interceptor installation?
Yes. We manage all permits, coordinate required inspections, and provide documentation for your permit file — a complete, end-to-end process.
How long does grease interceptor installation take?
Most installations are completed in one to two days depending on site conditions, interceptor size, and permitting timeline. We’ll give you a clear project timeline before starting.
Do you serve all of Orlando and Central Florida?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
