Grease Containment Systems for Roofing Contractors
Whether you are a commercial roofing contractor, consultant, architect, or roof system designer, you should be aware of the serious problems that grease contamination can cause and the effect it has on the environment and within the roofing industry. When inspecting a roof system for contaminants such as grease, make note of the homemade grease containment systems, such as sandboxes, plastic buckets, gutter systems, and standard metal catch pans. None of these homemade grease containment systems are effective long-term, or provide you with UL Listing, or EPA and NFPA compliance.

Include Grease Guards® In Your Projects
The most effective solution for Rooftop Grease Containment is to install a Grease Guard® Rooftop Defense System®, which offers easy installation and follow-up maintenance, meets industry standards, and works as a long-term Grease Containment System for roofing contractors and building owners.
Here are some things you need to consider when including Grease Guards® in your projects:
New Builds
- Understand the fan schedule from the project drawings. These parts of the mechanical drawings will be needed by our teams to properly size the Rooftop Grease Containment System for your job.
- If possible, include “Grease Guard® Rooftop Defense System®” in the specification verbiage. Ensuring the proper verbiage is included will prevent any confusion for the rest of the team.
Existing Builds
- Identify curb size, fan type, and amount of FOGs (fats, oils, greases) being expelled. Determining these specifications will assist our team in configuring a Grease Guard® Rooftop Defense System® that fits your building's needs.
- Become educated. Learning about rooftop grease production, the Grease Guard® Rooftop Defense System®, and how to properly install and maintain it, will not only increase your chances of job approval but will provide your customers with useful knowledge about rooftop grease containment.
- All Rooftop Grease Containment Systems require some type of maintenance. If you are planning on providing maintenance after the installation, be equipped with pricing information about Grease Guard® Filter Change-outs and OEM procedure. We can ship filters to you or your customer, or have our National Service Team perform the work for you.
