Rooftop grease containment systems capture grease discharged from exhaust fans before it reaches roof surfaces, preventing damage, environmental violations, and safety hazards. Without containment, grease damages roofing membranes, creates slip hazards for maintenance personnel, attracts pests, and can violate environmental regulations by entering storm water drainage systems. Containment solutions include grease cups mounted beneath fan discharge points, absorbent grease pads, and collection units that channel grease into removable containers. NFPA 96 (the National Fire Protection Association standard governing commercial kitchen exhaust systems) requires that grease not be allowed to collect on roof surfaces, and many local building codes mandate specific containment equipment. Regular maintenance of containment systems should align with the hood cleaning schedule.
