Jacksonville Grease Interceptor Rules: What's Actually Enforced

JEA and the health department have specific cleaning intervals. Here's what's on paper, what they actually enforce, and how often you should really pump.

Commercial plumbing has its own rhythm. The same fix that works on a residential drain might cause an inspector to fail a restaurant grease line. We pay attention to that gap.

What the symptom usually means

Most commercial calls are recurring. The customer has had the same problem twice already. We start by camera-checking and locating before we touch a thing — saves you paying for a repair that wasn't the right one.

How we diagnose

Camera. Locator. Manometer. Three tools that catch 80% of recurring commercial plumbing issues before we open anything.

What we typically end up fixing

Belly in the line. Improperly sloped grease lateral. Failed RPZ. Recirc pump on the wrong side of the loop. Documentable, repeatable issues that show up across the market.
