Grease Trap Pumping With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
A neglected grease trap is more than a plumbing problem — it's a health code violation, a foul odor, and a potential shutdown waiting to happen. Regular pumping is the simplest way to stay compliant and keep your kitchen operating without interruption.
Lapin Services provides professional grease trap pumping for restaurants, food service facilities, and commercial kitchens throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We schedule around your hours, work quickly, and leave the job clean.
Problems We Solve
Common Grease Trap Pumping Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Slow Kitchen Drains
When grease accumulates in the trap, flow slows down — leading to backed-up sinks, standing water, and delayed kitchen operations.
Foul Odors in the Kitchen
An overdue grease trap releases strong, unpleasant odors that can penetrate your kitchen, dining room, and affect the customer experience.
Health Code Violations
Most municipalities require grease traps to be pumped on a regular schedule. Failing an inspection puts your permit — and your business — at risk.
Grease Entering the Sewer Line
When a trap reaches capacity, grease bypasses it and enters the municipal sewer, causing blockages and potential fines for your business.
No Pumping Records on File
Inspectors often request service documentation. Without it, your business is at risk even if the trap looks clean.
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.
Kitchen Drains Are Slowing Down
Multiple slow drains in the kitchen area often point to a grease trap that's approaching or at capacity.
You Notice a Strong Grease or Sewage Smell
Odors near the grease trap or kitchen drains are a clear signal the trap needs to be pumped before conditions worsen.
You're Due for a Scheduled Pump-Out
Most grease traps should be pumped every 1–3 months depending on volume. If you're overdue, schedule service before your next inspection.
You Have an Upcoming Health Inspection
Getting ahead of a scheduled inspection with a fresh pump-out and documentation protects your rating and your permit.
Grease Is Visible Near the Drain or Trap Lid
Visible grease backup near fixtures or around the trap lid means the system is overwhelmed and needs immediate service.

FAQs
Grease Trap Pumping FAQs
How often should a grease trap be pumped?
Most commercial kitchens need grease trap pumping every 1–3 months, depending on cooking volume and trap size. High-volume restaurants may need service more frequently.
Do you provide service documentation for inspections?
Yes. We provide a completed service manifest after every pump-out — the documentation your health inspector or municipality requires.
Can you schedule service outside of business hours?
Yes. We offer early morning and off-hours scheduling to minimize disruption to your kitchen operations.
What happens if grease overflows into the sewer?
Grease that bypasses the trap can cause sewer line blockages and result in municipal fines. Regular pumping prevents this from happening.
Do you service all types and sizes of grease traps?
Yes. We service indoor grease traps and outdoor grease interceptors of all sizes across restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, and other commercial food service facilities.
Is grease trap pumping required by law in Orlando?
Yes. Orange County and most municipalities in Central Florida require regular grease trap maintenance as a condition of your food service permit.
Do you service the entire Orlando area?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
