Learn more about the Grease Box Original Rooftop Grease Containment System in this short tutorial video. The Grease Box Original is designed for low volume applications and is the most basic and cost effective Grease Box we offer. It features a two-chamber style and is sometimes referred to as a “toolbox” style system.

Rooftop grease containment is one of the most effective ways to protect your commercial kitchen investment. Whether you’re running a 24-hour fast food restaurant or a low-volume kitchen like a senior center, rooftop grease will eventually become a problem you’ll have to deal with.

Rooftop grease collects in your ductwork and exhaust fan. Fats oils and grease build up until they overflow from the fan and onto the roof. By installing a Grease Box Original, you can stop the grease before it causes damage and fire risk. A downspout attached to your exhaust fan will allow the grease overflow to be securely collected.

Just how much damage or risk does rooftop grease cause? It can cause a lot of damage to your roof and roof membrane. Even having a roof warranty probably won’t help because the warranty will probably be void if you allow grease to build up on your roof.

Once the grease has damaged your roof, the entire structure of the building is put at risk. Your roof will start to leak and there’s no telling where the structural damage will spread once that happens.

What else can rooftop grease do? It can cause major fire hazards. Grease deposits on your roof can catch on fire with the smallest of spark, and a grease-saturated roof is nearly impossible to keep from burning. The destruction can be devastating and costly. But you can avoid that if you install a Grease Box rooftop grease containment system.

Another thing that rooftop grease can do is hurt the environment and cause health hazards for your commercial kitchen. If you let rooftop grease runoff your roof and enter into the storm water system, the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as local or regional authorities could heavily fine you.

And did you know that rooftop grease can cause health hazards? That’s right. It can attract insects, rodents, birds, and other animals. It can also smell and look really disgusting.

Did you know that rooftop grease is also a safety hazard? Anyone who has to access the roof for maintenance is at risk of slipping or falling. Even people at ground level could find hazardous conditions below if the grease is running off the rooftop.

Not only can the Grease Box Rooftop Grease Containment System help you avoid all those problems, it can also fulfill your legal requirement for containing rooftop grease at your establishment.
