Grease Trap Installation in Miami-Dade County
Professional grease trap installation for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and residential properties. Code-compliant and health department approved.
Every restaurant, commercial kitchen, and food service establishment in Miami-Dade County is required to have a properly sized and installed grease trap (grease interceptor) to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the sewer or septic system. Installing the right grease trap from the start saves you from costly backups, health code violations, and fines down the road.
We handle the entire installation process: site evaluation, proper sizing based on your fixture count and flow volume, selection between interior (under-sink) and exterior (in-ground) interceptors, plumbing connections, and final inspection coordination with the Miami-Dade health department. Whether you're opening a new restaurant, renovating an existing kitchen, or adding a grease trap to a residential property with a septic system, we ensure your installation meets all local codes and passes inspection on the first visit.
We install both concrete and plastic grease interceptors in sizes ranging from small 20-gallon under-sink units to large 1,500+ gallon in-ground systems for high-volume commercial operations. Every installation includes proper venting, accessible cleanout points, and clear maintenance instructions so your trap performs effectively from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about grease trap installation in Miami-Dade.
What size grease trap do I need for my restaurant?
Grease trap sizing depends on your kitchen's fixture count, flow rate, and menu type. A small café may need a 20–50 gallon unit, while a full-service restaurant typically requires a 750–1,500 gallon in-ground interceptor. We evaluate your operation and recommend the right size to meet code requirements.
Do I need a grease trap for a residential kitchen?
If your home is on a septic system and you cook frequently with oils and fats, a small under-sink grease trap can protect your drain field from FOG buildup. While not always required for residential properties, it's a smart preventive measure that can save you from expensive drain field repairs.
How long does grease trap installation take?
Interior under-sink installations typically take 2–4 hours. In-ground interceptor installations take 1–3 days depending on size, excavation requirements, and plumbing complexity. We coordinate with health department inspectors to get your system approved as quickly as possible.
