Problems We Solve
Common Grease Trap Repair Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Cracked or Deteriorated Trap Housing
Concrete and fiberglass traps can crack over time, allowing grease to escape into the surrounding soil and triggering environmental compliance violations.
Broken or Missing Baffles
Baffles separate FOG from wastewater inside the trap. When they break or deteriorate, the trap loses effectiveness and grease flows directly into the sewer line.
Damaged Lid or Access Cover
A broken lid creates a safety hazard and exposes the trap to debris intrusion, which can clog the system and create compliance issues.
Corroded Inlet or Outlet Pipes
Pipe connections degrade over time from grease exposure and chemical cleaners, causing leaks, blockages, and reduced trap performance.
Grease Trap Failing Inspection
A trap that appears full or malfunctioning during a health or environmental inspection may need structural repair, not just pumping.
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.
Grease or Wastewater Is Leaking Near the Trap
Visible seepage around the trap housing or lid is a sign of structural damage that requires immediate repair to avoid environmental violations.
Your Trap Fills Up Unusually Fast
When baffles fail, the trap loses its separation function — causing it to fill faster and requiring more frequent pump-outs than normal.
You Have a Broken or Cracked Lid
A damaged access cover creates a safety hazard and should be replaced before your next service visit or inspection.
Odors Persist Even After Cleaning
When thorough cleaning doesn't resolve persistent odors, structural damage or deteriorated components may be the underlying cause.
Your Inspector Flagged a Structural Issue
If a health or utilities inspector cited your trap for physical damage or improper function, repair is required before your next compliance date.

FAQs
Grease Trap Repair FAQs
Can a cracked grease trap be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor cracks and localized deterioration can often be repaired. Severe structural failure or widespread deterioration may require full replacement. We’ll assess and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
What does a broken baffle do to my grease trap?
Baffles are what separate grease from wastewater inside the trap. When they fail, the trap loses its effectiveness — grease flows directly into the sewer, causing violations and sewer line damage.
How quickly can you respond to a grease trap repair?
We prioritize repairs that affect compliance or operations. Contact us and we’ll schedule service as quickly as possible — including same-day response when available.
Will you provide documentation of the repair?
Yes. We document all repair work — useful for compliance records, inspections, and future reference.
Do you serve all of Orlando and Central Florida?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
