Grease Trap Services

In healthcare settings, every pipe, valve, and connection must meet the highest safety standards—especially when it comes to medical gas lines. At Miami Plumbing Contractors, we provide certified medical gas plumbing services for hospitals, dental offices, surgery centers, and other medical facilities throughout Miami. Our team is trained, licensed, and compliant with NFPA 99 standards to install, inspect, and maintain critical gas delivery systems with precision and care.

Why Grease Trap Maintenance Matters

Every time your kitchen washes dishes or disposes of food waste, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) enter the plumbing system. Without a properly maintained grease trap, these substances solidify in your pipes, causing blockages, backups, and costly repairs. Worse, excess grease discharge into city sewer lines can lead to fines or shutdowns from the health department.

Proper grease trap maintenance helps:

  • Prevent plumbing clogs and backups
  • Ensure compliance with Miami-Dade wastewater codes
  • Extend the life of your plumbing system
  • Avoid fines, service interruptions, and reputation damage

Grease trap cleaning isn’t just good practice—it’s the law. Local regulations require regular pumping, proper waste disposal, and documentation of service. Miami Plumbing Contractors helps you meet all requirements with reliable, scheduled maintenance and certified reporting.

Comprehensive Grease Trap Cleaning Services

We provide thorough grease trap cleaning that removes all FOG and solid buildup from your trap—whether it’s located indoors or outside. Our trained technicians pump the entire contents of the trap, scrape down the sides, and inspect all components for wear or damage.

Our grease trap services include:

  • Pumping and waste removal
  • Interior and exterior trap cleaning
  • Inspection of baffles, inlets, and outlets
  • Jetting of incoming and outgoing lines (as needed)
  • Hauling and disposal with manifest documentation

We service grease traps of all sizes—from under-sink models in food trucks to large outdoor interceptors at restaurants and cafeterias. Our team follows strict environmental practices and ensures all waste is properly processed at licensed disposal facilities in Miami-Dade County.

Emergency Grease Trap Repairs and Replacements

Grease traps can fail due to clogs, broken baffles, corrosion, or structural issues—especially in older systems or high-volume kitchens. If your trap is overflowing, emitting foul odors, or causing slow drainage, call Miami Plumbing Contractors for emergency service. We’ll respond fast to assess the situation and restore proper operation.

Our grease trap repair services include:

  • Clearing blockages and FOG buildup
  • Repairing or replacing baffles and lids
  • Seal and gasket replacement
  • Inlet/outlet pipe repairs
  • Full grease trap replacement (indoor or outdoor)

We stock parts for most common commercial trap brands and sizes, and we’re experienced in working with tight deadlines, health code inspections, and system emergencies. If your trap is beyond repair, we’ll recommend a replacement sized correctly for your kitchen’s output and help with permitting, excavation (if needed), and installation.

Scheduled Maintenance and Compliance Support

Running a kitchen is demanding. That’s why we offer scheduled grease trap maintenance plans that ensure you stay compliant and avoid surprises. We track your cleaning schedule, notify you when service is due, and provide documentation for health department reviews.

With our maintenance plans, you get:

  • Scheduled cleaning every 30, 60, or 90 days (based on usage)
  • Emergency support if issues arise between cleanings
  • Digital service records and compliance logs
  • Peace of mind knowing your system meets Miami-Dade standards

We serve a wide range of food businesses, including:

  • Restaurants and cafes
  • Hotels and event venues
  • Hospital and school cafeterias
  • Food trucks and commissaries
  • Supermarkets and convenience stores

No matter your size or volume, we’ll help you stay clean, compliant, and clog-free year-round.

Outdoor Interceptor Services

Larger restaurants and commercial facilities often have outdoor grease interceptors that require heavy-duty equipment for proper cleaning. Miami Plumbing Contractors provides pump truck services for exterior traps, including vacuum removal, full scraping, and jetting of inlet and outlet lines. We also inspect for signs of structural damage or failure.

New Grease Trap Installation and Upgrades

If your business is expanding or your current trap is too small or outdated, we can install a new grease trap system sized for your operation. We handle permitting, code compliance, excavation (if necessary), and setup. Our team ensures your system is ready for inspection and designed to reduce future maintenance costs and risks.

Health Department Compliance

Miami-Dade County enforces grease trap regulations to protect the sewer system and environment. We help you stay compliant with proper cleaning schedules, manifest documentation, and inspection-ready service. If you’ve received a citation or warning, we can help resolve the issue quickly and submit the necessary proof of compliance.
