For restaurants, cafés, takeaways, and commercial kitchens, managing grease effectively is crucial.
A build-up of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) can cause serious drainage issues, leading to costly repairs, potential fines, and even business closures.
At Drain Care South West, we specialise in professional grease management solutions to keep your drains flowing smoothly and your business fully compliant with regulations.
Why Is Grease Management Important?
Grease and fat from cooking don’t just disappear when they go down the drain.
Over time, they solidify and form fatbergs, restricting water flow and leading to blockages, foul odours, and even structural damage to your drainage system.
The Risks of Poor Grease Management:
🚨 Blocked Drains & Backups – Accumulated grease can lead to complete drain blockages, causing water and waste to back up into your kitchen.
💷 Expensive Repairs – If blockages become severe, it may require extensive cleaning, pipe replacement, or emergency repairs.
⚖️ Legal Compliance Issues – Food businesses must comply with environmental and waste regulations. Failing to manage grease properly can result in hefty fines.
🤢 Unpleasant Smells & Hygiene Risks – A poorly maintained drainage system can lead to foul odours, attracting pests and affecting food hygiene ratings.
