Service Overview
Grease Interceptor Repair Backed by 65+ Years of Local Experience
Outdoor grease interceptors face constant exposure to soil movement, root intrusion, chemical corrosion, and heavy use. When a crack forms, a baffle fails, or a connection breaks, grease can reach the municipal sewer — triggering environmental violations and costly penalties for your business.
Lapin Services provides expert grease interceptor repair for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food service properties throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We locate the problem, explain the fix, and get your system back to full compliance with minimal downtime.
Problems We Solve
Common Grease Interceptor Repair Problems We Fix
Here are the issues our team commonly finds and resolves during grease interceptor repair calls across Central Florida.
Cracked Interceptor Housing
Ground movement, soil pressure, and age can crack concrete or fiberglass interceptor housings — allowing untreated waste to leach into the surrounding soil and triggering environmental violations.
Failed or Missing Baffles
Interceptor baffles separate grease from wastewater. When they deteriorate or break, the unit loses effectiveness and grease bypasses the system entirely.
Root Intrusion Into the System
Tree and shrub roots can penetrate interceptor joints and connections, causing structural damage, flow restrictions, and compliance failures.
Corroded or Broken Inlet/Outlet Pipes
Pipe connections between the kitchen drain line and interceptor degrade over time, leading to leaks, blockages, and grease discharge outside the system.
Damaged or Missing Access Lid
A broken or missing access cover creates a safety hazard, allows debris intrusion, and may constitute a code violation during inspection.
When to Call
Signs Your Grease Trap Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule grease interceptor repair before the problem becomes more disruptive or expensive.
Foul Odors Near the Interceptor Location
Persistent odor near the access lid area — even after recent cleaning — may indicate a crack or failed seal allowing gases to escape from damaged housing.
Wet or Saturated Soil Near the Interceptor
Soggy ground near the interceptor is a warning sign of leakage through cracked housing or failed pipe connections that needs immediate evaluation.
Interceptor Fills Faster Than Normal
Rapid filling despite normal kitchen volume may indicate a structural issue affecting capacity or a broken baffle reducing effective volume.
You've Received an Environmental or Code Violation
A citation related to grease interceptor performance typically requires documented repair before compliance can be restored. We can assess and address the specific issue cited.
An Inspection Found Structural Issues
If a recent inspection flagged cracking, baffle failure, or damaged connections, repair is required before your next compliance date.

FAQs
Grease Interceptor Repair FAQs
Can a cracked grease interceptor be repaired, or does it need replacement?
It depends on the severity and location of the damage. Minor cracks and isolated deterioration can often be repaired. Widespread structural failure or severely corroded housing may require full replacement. We’ll assess and give you an honest recommendation.
What does a broken interceptor baffle do?
Baffles separate grease from wastewater inside the interceptor. A failed baffle means grease bypasses the separation process and flows directly into the municipal sewer — a compliance violation with potential fines.
How quickly can you respond to an interceptor repair?
We prioritize repairs that create environmental liability or compliance risk. Contact us and we’ll schedule service as quickly as possible.
Will you document the repair for compliance purposes?
Yes. We document all repair work — useful for compliance records, inspector review, and property management files.
Do you serve all of Orlando and Central Florida?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
