Commercial plumbing under Martin County rules in Palm City
Quick answer
We are opening a restaurant in Palm City. What does Martin County want to know about the grease trap?
Martin County publishes a food establishment grease trap questionnaire. Get the current form from the county, have your design professional complete it, and plan the plumbing around the approved design. Seats, menu, dish washing and cleaning frequency all affect grease load.
Du-All Plumbing handles commercial plumbing in Palm City for restaurants, offices, retail space and community clubhouses, with kitchen, restroom, hot water and drain work planned around Martin County requirements.
Unincorporated Palm City runs on county rules
Palm City is not a city in the legal sense. It is an unincorporated community in Martin County, so commercial plumbing permits, utility questions and grease rules run through the county rather than a town hall. Du-All has an office in Palm City at 3442 SW Armellini Avenue, 34990, and commercial property in the community includes restaurants, offices, retail space, clubhouses in communities such as Harbour Ridge and Evergreen Golf Club, and the older commercial blocks of Old Palm City.
Martin County's guidance is direct: a permit is required for anyone who intends to install, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace a plumbing, gas, electrical or mechanical system. For a restaurant changing its kitchen, a business replacing a commercial water heater, or an owner rerouting a building drain, that rule shapes the schedule. Plan the permit time into the job instead of discovering it on the day the crew arrives.
Where does a new Palm City restaurant start with its grease trap?
Martin County lists a food establishment grease trap questionnaire among its published resources. Get the current form and instructions from Martin County before you design the kitchen, and have your design professional complete whatever the county asks for.
Whatever the form asks, the things that drive grease load are easy to list: the number of seats, the menu, how dishes are washed and how often the trap is cleaned. Sizing and approval belong to the design professional and the county, not to a plumber guessing on site. If the kitchen is in an existing building, tell the designer about the current trap, its condition and its cleaning history, since reusing or replacing it is part of that decision. Our commercial plumbing page lists the kitchen and drain services Du-All provides once the design is approved.
Keeping grease out of a Palm City kitchen's lines
Grease trap cleaning and maintenance appear on Du-All's list of commercial services. Florida DEP's grease waste program requires that the waste itself be removed and transported only by licensed grease haulers or self-cleaners, with a service manifest each time. Confirm that whoever pumps the trap is a licensed grease hauler, and keep every manifest with your cleaning schedule so the record matches the plan.
The cleaning schedule should come from the trap size, the menu and what each cleaning finds, and it may need to change once the kitchen is open. Between pump-outs, the lines from pot sinks, prep sinks and floor sinks into the trap can still build up grease. Du-All offers high-pressure drain jetting for heavy grease in commercial drain lines when the pipe's condition supports it, and our drain cleaning page explains how the method is chosen. Train staff to scrape plates into the trash and never pour fryer oil down a drain.
Hot water and the dish machine
Whether a kitchen runs an automatic dish machine touches hot water as well as grease. A kitchen that runs a dish machine, pot sink and hand sinks at once puts a heavy, uneven load on its water heater, and a heater that falls behind shows up first at the dish station during the busiest hour.
Commercial water heater service at Du-All covers maintenance, repair and installation of high-capacity units. Before recommending a size, we look at the fixtures and equipment the heater serves, the peak hours, the fuel available and the space. ENERGY STAR's commercial gas storage category begins above 75,000 Btu per hour of input, and certified units must reach at least 0.94 thermal efficiency, which helps when comparing options. Replacement is permitted work in Martin County. For home heaters, see water heater installation in Palm City.

Is your Palm City business on sewer or septic?
Do not assume. Martin County runs a Connect to Protect program that connects residential properties on septic to the county wastewater system, aimed at protecting the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon. The county's Old Palm City community redevelopment plan also lists wastewater master planning, design, permitting, bidding and construction among its steps. Neither tells you how a specific commercial building is served today.
Check your utility bill and property records. A building on county sewer and one on an onsite system need very different plans when drains back up. If several fixtures slow at once, stop water use, keep people away from wastewater and call. Do not open a full cleanout. Our sewer line repair page and our septic tank pumping in Palm City page cover the two paths.
Who signs off on work in a Palm City plaza or community?
If your space is leased, or your clubhouse sits inside a gated community such as Copperleaf, Cobblestone Country Club, Crane Creek or Hammock Creek, the person who reports the problem is not always the person who can approve the repair. Before the visit, give us the approval contact for the owner, landlord or association and the on-site contact for the day.
For shared lines, interceptors and main shutoffs, the owner or manager usually decides when water can be turned off and tells other tenants or residents. We do not force a valve that will not close. If it is stuck, we report it and plan the shutoff with the owner.
Planned maintenance for Martin County businesses
Du-All's preventive maintenance programs schedule inspections and cleanings in advance so problems are found before they close a kitchen or restroom. A Palm City plan might cover the grease device and kitchen lines, restroom flush valves and faucets, the water heater and its relief valve line, and any floor or trench drains. The owner chooses the items and the frequency.
Ask for written notes after each visit listing what was checked and what needs approval, and keep them on file. Over a year, those records show which items keep failing, which helps an owner budget for replacement instead of paying for the same repair again. Exterior parking lot drains are on the storm side, not the sanitary sewer, and they are checked separately.
Request commercial plumbing in Palm City
Call 772-238-6456 or use the contact form. Include the business address and ZIP, who can approve work, the hours you cannot lose water, and whether the building is on sewer or septic if you know. For a new or remodeled kitchen, send the engineer's contact so plumbing work follows the approved design and the county form.
For a repair, tell us what is happening and where: a restroom that will not stop running, a kitchen line that drains slowly after the dinner rush, a heater that runs out of hot water before close, or a floor drain that smells. Say whether the trouble affects one fixture or several, and when it started. If the trap was pumped recently, have the hauler manifest handy, since the date and volume removed help show whether grease is the likely cause or whether the problem sits further down the building drain. Photos of the rating plate on the heater save time too.

Before you call
Palm City commercial plumbing questions, answered
Who issues plumbing permits for a Palm City business?
Palm City is unincorporated, so Martin County handles permits. The county says a permit is required to install, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace a plumbing system.
What should we ask Martin County before designing a restaurant kitchen?
Ask for the current food establishment grease trap questionnaire and any utility requirements for the account, and give them to your design professional before plumbing is planned.
Why does a dish machine matter for a Palm City kitchen's plumbing?
It adds heavy, uneven hot water demand and sends more warm, greasy water toward the grease device, so it affects both heater sizing and cleaning plans.
Does Connect to Protect apply to commercial buildings?
The county describes Connect to Protect as connecting residential properties on septic to county wastewater. Ask Martin County Utilities about a commercial property.
Are Palm City parking lot drains part of the sewer?
Usually not. Exterior lot drains carry rainwater to the storm side, so grease, mop water and wash water must never go into them.
