FOG Assessments and Grease Interceptor Services for Miami Restaurants

FOG Compliance & Grease Interceptor Services – Miami

If you operate a restaurant, bar, hotel, or any food service establishment in Miami-Dade County, staying compliant with the county’s Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Discharge Control Operating Permit is essential. At Coral Gables Plumbing, we specialize in FOG compliance solutions—helping businesses meet these requirements with expert grease interceptor and grease trap system services tailored to your needs.

Why FOG System Maintenance & Compliance Matter

Under Miami-Dade County regulations, food service establishments are required to install, maintain, and report on a compliant grease interceptor or hydromechanical grease trap. Failure to meet FOG permit requirements can lead to:

• Clogged or damaged sewer lines
• Costly fines and enforcement actions
• Environmental hazards and health code violations

Our FOG & Grease Trap Compliance Services Include:

• FOG assessments to determine compliance status
• Grease interceptor design (gravity & hydromechanical)
• Sample port installation for grease traps/interceptors
• FOG system upgrades to meet current DERM requirements
• Grease trap and interceptor installations
• Upgrades and replacements of outdated or non-compliant systems
• Repairs to existing grease traps and interceptors
• Violation resolution support (excluding pumping/hauling)
• Compliance consulting for FOG Operating Permit requirements
• FOG Discharge Control Operating Permit guidance
• Schier Grease Interceptors
• DERM FOG upgrades



Miami-Dade County Code requires all non-residential food service facilities to:

• Obtain and maintain a valid Grease Discharge Operating Permit (GDO)
• Install and maintain a compliant grease interceptor or hydromechanical grease trap
• Have the system cleaned by a licensed hauler at the frequency specified in the GDO (we do not provide pumping/hauling)
• Report each cleaning via the county’s online portal 2

Note: Starting January 2017, all cleanings must be reported electronically. Improper maintenance or failure to report can result in citations or other enforcement actions.
