Grease trap inspection readiness in Tallahassee

What “inspection ready” usually means

Utilities and FOG programs look for maintained interceptors, accessible lids, and evidence that kitchens aren’t dumping grease down drains. We don’t invent fine amounts or pretend to be the inspector — we help kitchens keep traps serviceable so visits are less stressful.

Prep checklist before a FOG-related visit

• Clear dumpsters, carts, and landscaping off outdoor lids; unlock indoor cabinet doors on under-sink units
• Have recent pumping/cleaning invoices or log sheets available if you keep them
• Note any slow drains, odors, or backups since the last service — see clogged trap signs
• Confirm indoor vs outdoor setup and approximate capacity — under-sink guide · outdoor interceptor

North Florida climate notes

Summer humidity and afternoon storms can leave outdoor lids buried under leaf litter or standing water in low pads. Clearing access the day before beats scrambling while someone waits. For interval education, see how often to clean and FOG compliance basics.
