Grease, So What’s the Problem?
Does your facility produce grease?

All commercial cooking facilities generate Fats, Oil, and Grease (FOG). FOG any solid or viscous substance including grease, which will or may cause a blockage in the City sewer system or interfere with the operation of the wastewater treatment plant. These wastes will also block kitchen and building waste pipes. Grease causes odors, sewer back-ups, and expensive maintenance to the City sewer system.  FOG can impact a food service facility in several ways. Foul odors are usually the first impact noticed by an establishment. Foul odors lead to loss of business. Grease also causes problems with the drain pipes. Eventually a pipe will become completely blocked, similar to hardening of the arteries, causing the system to back-up. This usually results in expensive maintenance to the City sewer system and sometime causes damage to near by businesses. Worst of all a sewer backup can also result in the restaurant’s closure by the health department.
