The Rooftop Grease Solution
As a food service provider your facility may be subject to unnecessary liabilities, rooftop safety hazards and code violations. Grease and oil emitted onto your rooftop by your kitchen exhaust fans result in unnecessary roof leaks, costly roof repairs, unsafe work areas and even worse— FIRE. Not only are grease and oil the source of roof deterioration, they are also extremely flammable.
Over 98% of all restaurant fires are due in part to kitchen exhaust grease and oil. A spark can travel through the exhaust system to the roof surface resulting in extensive damage to your property and investment.

Rooftop Grease Solutions - Grease Gutters
Everyone has seen restaurant rooftops stained by the FOG’s (fats, oils and grease) that can leak from exhaust fans.
