Rooftop Grease Containment
Any commercial kitchen will produce a considerable volume of grease over the years its in operation. It’s an unavoidable consequence of large scale, consistent cooking procedures. Commercial kitchens need to think about the grease in their interior of their property, but there’s also the exterior spaces to think about as well. If you’re not careful, grease could escape from the inside and cause untold damage to both your structure and the local environment. As such, it’s prudent to invest some of your cash into a rooftop grease containment system. These systems do a wonderful job at filtering the air that escapes your property, drastically reducing the likelihood that any grease could make it to the outside.

Rooftop Grease Containment Explained Broilers, grills, fryers, rotisseries, wok cooking – grease are considerable concerns thanks to commercial cooking equipment like these, equipment that you’ll find in pretty much any commercial kitchen. Grease might spread throughout various interior areas of your property, from the top of your grill up through the hood filters, through the exhaust system and onto the roof. The is precisely why hood cleaning and kitchen exhaust system cleaning is a must – but you need to think about the exterior spaces as well. That’s where a rooftop grease containment system comes into the picture. These installations work to reduce the accumulation of grease that exits through your roof’s exhaust fan. Preventing Roof Failure People don’t tend to spend much, or any, time on their roofs. As such, it’s not a surprise that many people are simply blissfully unaware of what’s happening up on their roof. The problem for restaurant owners is that grease can very quickly build up if you haven’t taken any preventative measures. If grease is allowed to accumulate, it can affect the structural integrity of your roof. Not only will this leave your property potentially vulnerable and cost you thousands of dollars in repairs, but it’ll also void your roof warranty and could invalidate some insurances. Environmental Protection The focus on environmental sustainability, protection, and responsibility is the clearest it’s ever been. There’s an expectation for both private citizens and businesses to behave in an ethical fashion with the environment in mind. If you’re wondering how this applies to the containment of grease, perhaps it would interest you to learn that grease can cause irrevocable damage to plants, waterways, soil, and even animals. You could be legally responsible for damage to the environment due to grease, so even there’s plenty of reason to take this seriously. Cleaning Procedures The grease will accumulate within your containment system, which means that it’s going to need to be cleaned and maintained on a consistent basis. Most manufacturers advise that these systems are treated on a quarterly basis, at a minimum. We can make sure that your grease containment system is firing on all cylinders moving forward. |
