Rooftop GreaseIf your kitchen hood exhaust system pulls grease laden vapors out of the kitchen, it’s inevitable that same grease will make it rooftop from your exhaust fan.

What many restaurant owner’s and managers aren’t aware of is the fact that grease is actually very destructive and if left on the roof, will actually eat away at the roof decking itself! In many cases this rooftop grease will not only corrode your roof’s seal, but void warranties given by most of the leading roof companies.

Not to mention the potential for fines from the EPA & other local authorities if grease has gone from your rooftop to the street through your roof’s drainage system. Grease can pollute water ways and create harm to many sensitive ecosystems.

As you can imagine, every commercial kitchen exhaust system must have proper containment, otherwise you’re facing:

• Deteriorated roofing materials
• Voided building warranties
• Environmental compliance violations
• Increased fire hazards
• Slip and fall liability
