Effects of Grease Buildup in Exhaust Systems

  • Fire Hazard: Grease is highly flammable and accumulates on surfaces like roofs, exhaust fans, and vents. This buildup can easily ignite, causing devastating fires that damage property, disrupt business, and potentially lead to injuries or fatalities.
  • Structural Damage: Grease degrades roofing materials, causing leaks, cracks, and weakening the overall structure. This can lead to costly repairs, safety hazards, and even the need for roof replacement.
  • Clogged Drainage Systems: Grease solidifies as it cools, clogging drains and gutters. This can cause water damage, backups, and overflows, leading to further structural issues and potential health hazards.
  • Health and Safety Hazards: Grease buildup creates unsanitary conditions, attracting pests and promoting bacteria growth. Slippery surfaces increase the risk of slips and falls, posing a threat to employees and customers.
  • Environmental Pollution: Grease runoff from roofs and drains contaminates soil and water, harming the environment. This can result in fines and penalties for businesses and damage to the local ecosystem.
