Avoid Health Code Violations: Why Grease Trap Cleaning Is Essential for Miami Restaurants

If you own or manage a restaurant, bakery, or commercial kitchen in Miami-Dade or Broward, keeping your grease trap clean isn’t optional — it’s mandatory. Health inspectors regularly cite violations related to FOG (fats, oils, and grease) buildup, and one missed cleaning can shut down your business.

The Risks of a Dirty Grease Trap

  • Foul odors that push away customers
  • Blocked plumbing and sewer overflows
  • Failed health inspections
  • Expensive emergency repairs
  • City fines and potential closure

How Often Should You Clean It?

The frequency depends on your volume, but most restaurants in South Florida should clean their grease traps:

• Every month (high-volume kitchens)

• Every 60–90 days (low- to medium-volume)



Local ordinances in Miami, Coral Gables, Doral, and Hollywood often require grease trap service logs and proof of disposal.

🚨 Don’t Let a Lift Station Failure Turn Into a Disaster — Trust Champion Septic Tank for 24/7 Emergency Pump-Out Services  When it comes to your septic or sewer system, the lift station is one of the most critical components — and also one of the most overlooked. A malfunctioning lift station can quickly lead to serious issues like sewage backups, flooding, foul odors, property damage, and even fines from local authorities. That’s why routine Lift Station Maintenance and fast Lift Station Pump-Out Services are essential — and why customers across South Florida trust Champion Septic Tank. 🛠 What Is a Lift Station and Why Is It So Important? Lift stations are used in both residential and commercial properties to move wastewater from lower to higher elevations, especially where gravity flow isn’t possible. These systems rely on pumps, control panels, and floats to function properly. If any part fails — especially during a high-flow period — your entire system can back up within minutes. That’s why Champion Septic Tank offers comprehensive Lift Station Maintenance designed to detect issues before they turn into costly emergencies. From clearing debris and inspecting pump systems, to testing control panels and float switches, our licensed technicians ensure your system runs efficiently 24/7.
