Why remove your grease?

We all are aware of what fat, oil and grease do to our arteries. We know that eating to much of it causes health issues for everyone, so we tend to watch what we eat and limit our fat intake. However, when it comes to our plumbing we do not have such options, and fixing our clog sinks and pipes isn’t as simple as a diet change. Grease solidifies as it cools down, luckily for our bodies our average temperature is 98.6 degrees which keeps those oil, grease and fat particles liquid, allowing our body to absorb and put them to use, our drains however, change temperature going from cool to warm which constantly changes what those nasty FOG’s are doing inside our plumbing.

So what happens to grease in the drains then? It solidifies and accumulates inside our drains and pipes causing untreated wastewater to back up into homes and businesses. You know that gross smell you start to have coming from your sink? That’s right, it’s FOG; If you allow this to go on for to long you will have a very costly mess to clean up.

As you can imagine not all that messy grease sticks to the inside of drains and pipes. So where does it go? Into the sewer system. Not only will you have thousands of dollars of your own clean up to worry about but some cities charge businesses for the mess that is made in sewer pipes and spill clean-up. Other cites implement a surcharge to wastewater bills if a business exceeds
a certain discharge limit.

If the cost of cleaning up a FOG’s isn’t inspiring enough to install a Grease Removal Systems, then perhaps what it does to our environment will. FOG’s can cause public places to overflow with water contaminating the drinking water. Do you have kids, pets, how about yourself? Have you ever heard of a Public Health Hazard? This is a big one. If you think deciding to eat all those FOG’s is bad for your health, Imagine ingesting them after they have sat in our sewage system.

The fix is easy:

For homes, wipe your plate’s clean, pour excess FOG’s into a can or a sealable container, allow it to solidify and throw away. You can also take them to a local landfill, some restaurants will even take them off your hands and dispose of them for you.

Own a business? That is what we are here for. Installing a cost friendly Grease Removal System will stop all problems before they become an environmental issue, a large expense and result in problems with the City your working in.
