Septic Tanks & Grease Traps

Septic Tank & Grease Trap Pumping in Miami, FL

Scheduled and emergency pumping for homes on septic and for the commercial kitchens that cannot afford a failed inspection — handled by a licensed underground utility contractor.

Licensed & insured · Free estimates · 24-hour service · Serving Miami-Dade County

Thousands of Miami-Dade properties still run on septic rather than county sewer, and every restaurant in the county runs on a grease interceptor. Both fail the same way: quietly, on a schedule you can predict, until the day they are ignored one month too long.

Lorente Plumbing Services pumps, cleans and inspects both — and because we hold an underground utility and excavation license (CUC1226156), we can also repair the drain field, the inlet baffle or the line feeding the trap when pumping is not enough.

Septic and grease trap services we provide

Septic tank pumping

Full pump-out of solids and scum, not just the liquid layer, with the tank inspected while it is empty.

Grease trap and interceptor pumping

Indoor traps and outdoor in-ground interceptors emptied, scraped and washed down, with the correct disposal manifest for your records.

Emergency pump-outs

Backing up into the kitchen at dinner service, or into the house on a Sunday. We take those calls 24 hours a day.

Baffle, lid and riser repair

Broken tees, collapsed baffles, cracked lids and missing risers repaired or replaced so the system works as designed.

Drain field and line diagnosis

Standing water, soggy ground and odour usually mean the field, not the tank. We camera and evaluate before recommending anything expensive.

Scheduled maintenance programs

Recurring intervals set to your kitchen volume or household size so nothing is ever left to memory.

Signs your tank or trap needs pumping now

  • Slow drains throughout the building at the same time
  • Sewage odour near the tank, the trap or the yard
  • Standing water or soft, spongy ground over the drain field
  • Gurgling in toilets or floor drains
  • Grease visibly at the top of the trap inspection port
  • A backup during your busiest service of the week
  • More than 3 to 5 years since the last septic pump-out
  • An upcoming health department or county inspection

Commercial compliance in Miami-Dade

Restaurants, cafeterias, bakeries and food processors in Miami-Dade are required to maintain their grease interceptors and to keep documentation of servicing. A trap that has not been pumped on schedule is both an inspection problem and a plumbing problem, because the overflow ends up in the sanitary line and eventually in the street.

We service commercial kitchens on the schedule that matches your actual volume, work overnight or before opening when needed, and leave you with the paperwork.

FAQ

Septic Tanks & Grease Traps — frequently asked questions

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

For a typical household, every three to five years. Larger households, garbage disposals and older tanks push that interval shorter. We can tell you after seeing the tank.

How often should a restaurant grease trap be pumped?

It depends on trap size and kitchen volume — commonly every one to three months. We set a schedule based on how fast yours actually fills.

Do you provide disposal documentation?

Yes. Commercial customers receive the service records they need for county and health department compliance.

Can you pump on a weekend or overnight?

Yes. We work around service hours so your kitchen never closes for a pump-out.

What if pumping does not fix the problem?

Then the issue is downstream — a blocked line, a failed baffle or a saturated drain field. We hold the underground utility license needed to diagnose and repair all three.
