Service Overview
Grease Trap Inspection With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
A grease trap inspection gives you the full picture: current condition, capacity levels, baffle integrity, pipe connections, and compliance status. Whether you're preparing for a health inspection, taking over a new property, or just due for a check, knowing what you have prevents expensive surprises.
Lapin Services provides detailed grease trap inspections for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food service operations throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We document everything, explain what we find, and tell you exactly what — if anything — needs attention.
Problems We Solve
Common Grease Trap Inspection Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Unknown Trap Condition Before an Inspection
Going into a health or building inspection without knowing your trap's status is a risk. A pre-inspection assessment ensures you know what the inspector will find — before they find it.
No Inspection Records on File
Municipalities and inspectors often require documented inspection history. Without records, even a functioning trap can result in a compliance citation.
Taking Over a Commercial Kitchen or Property
Before signing a lease or opening in an existing space, an inspection documents current trap condition and protects you from inheriting someone else's compliance problems.
Recurring Service Issues Without a Clear Cause
If your trap needs pumping too often or odors keep coming back, an inspection can reveal underlying structural or functional issues that simple pump-outs can't fix.
Required Documentation for Permit or Licensing
Some permits, licenses, and lease renewals require a current grease trap inspection report. Lapin provides the documentation you need to move forward.
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.
You Have a Health or Environmental Inspection Scheduled
A pre-inspection assessment lets you address any issues before the official visit — protecting your rating and your permit.
You're Opening in or Purchasing an Existing Space
Don't assume the grease trap is in good shape. An inspection documents current condition and identifies any repairs needed before you take on the liability.
You Don't Have Recent Inspection Records
If you can't produce documentation of recent grease trap inspection or service, scheduling one now protects your compliance standing.
You're Experiencing Recurring Drain or Odor Issues
Persistent problems after regular pumping often have a structural cause — an inspection will identify whether repair or replacement is needed.
You Haven't Had a Professional Inspection in Over a Year
Annual inspections are a best practice for most commercial kitchens and a requirement in many jurisdictions. If you're overdue, schedule one now.

FAQs
Grease Trap Inspection FAQs
What does a grease trap inspection include?
We inspect trap condition, current capacity level, baffle integrity, inlet and outlet pipe connections, lid condition, and overall compliance status — and document everything in a written report.
Will you provide written documentation after the inspection?
Yes. Every inspection includes a written report you can use for health inspections, permit applications, property transactions, or your own compliance records.
How long does a grease trap inspection take?
Most inspections take 30–60 minutes depending on trap size and accessibility. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
Do I need an inspection if my trap was just pumped?
Pumping addresses liquid waste, but an inspection evaluates structural integrity and compliance. If you need documentation for a permit or inspection, a formal inspection report is what provides it.
Do you serve all of Orlando and Central Florida?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
