rooftop grease containment

Did you know that over 80% of commercial kitchens have roof deterioration because of the hood system discharge? 

Many commercial kitchen managers and owners do not think about the exhaust system discharging grease onto the roof.  They just think that their current hood cleaning company goes up on the roof and cleans it off as well as the grease that has accumulated in the turbine. 

Grease buildup on the roof can not only cause a fire hazard, it will eventually deteriorate the roof to the point it could cave in.  The other problem a restaurant owner may not realize is that it can cause a hazardous waste problem.

Rain and snow can cause the grease to seep down the side of the building and wash into the drain storm.  Should this occur, the restaurant is liable for an environmental pollution that could cost the restaurant a lot of money in fines and clean up fees.

The uses of rooftop grease containment

Commercial kitchen exhaust systems are designed to filter out airborne particles such as grease, dander and dust.  It sucks air through a filter then up and out of the turbine on the roof.  If a rooftop grease containment system is not installed, the excess grease could collect onto the roof.  This not only causes the potential for a fire but damage to the roof.

A rooftop grease containment system should have hydrophobic pads.  These pads are designed to hold grease while they shed water.  If the pads are not installed, the rainwater and grease will build up and spill onto the roof.
