Service Overview
Grease Trap Compliance Backed by 65+ Years of Local Experience
Grease trap compliance isn't just about pumping on schedule — it's about having the right trap, the right service frequency, the right documentation, and the knowledge to respond when an inspector asks questions. A gap in any one of these can result in citations, fines, and permit risk.
Lapin Services provides comprehensive grease trap compliance support for restaurants, food service facilities, and commercial kitchens throughout Orlando and Central Florida. From service scheduling to manifest documentation to compliance consultation, we handle every piece of the FOG compliance puzzle.
Problems We Solve
Common Grease Trap Compliance Problems We Fix
Here are the issues our team commonly finds and resolves during grease trap compliance calls across Central Florida.
Missing or Incomplete Service Records
Inspectors require documented proof of regular grease trap service. Gaps in manifests or missing documentation can result in citations regardless of trap condition.
Non-Compliant Trap Size or Type
Traps that were adequate under old code may no longer meet current municipal requirements. An assessment ensures your system is sized and configured to current standards.
Inadequate Service Frequency
Municipalities typically require service based on a 25% grease accumulation rule or a fixed schedule. Not meeting this threshold — even informally — puts your compliance at risk.
Upcoming Health or Environmental Inspection
Preparing for a scheduled inspection with proper records, a clean trap, and a documented service schedule is the most reliable way to pass without issues.
Recent Compliance Citation
If you've received a FOG violation, you need a documented remediation plan — not just a one-time service call — to satisfy the inspector and avoid repeat citations.
When to Call
Signs Your Grease Trap Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule grease trap compliance before the problem becomes more disruptive or expensive.
You've Received a FOG or Grease Trap Violation
A citation requires a documented response — typically including service, inspection, and a maintenance plan. We help you build the compliance record the inspector needs to see.
You Don't Have a Documented Service History
Whether you're new to a space or simply haven't kept records, establishing a current compliance baseline protects you going forward.
You're Unsure of Local Service Frequency Requirements
Compliance rules vary by municipality. We know Central Florida's requirements and can advise on the right schedule for your specific location and kitchen type.
You Have an Inspection Coming Up
Pre-inspection service, documentation review, and compliance consultation can mean the difference between a clean report and a costly violation.
You're Taking Over a New Food Service Location
Before assuming responsibility, verify the trap meets current code, get the service history, and establish a compliant maintenance program from day one.
