Grease Management
There can be a number of causes for blocked drains in both domestic and commercial properties, with products like fat, oil and grease (FOG’s) often being the culprit. Used in day-to-day life around the kitchen and within commercial industries, FOG’s can cause slow buildups over time before they are recognised as a potentially costly risk for your business.
Because fats, oils and greases solidify as they cool down, they create hardened blockages in pipe linings that can trap additional waste products, and lead to foul odors, flooding and costly operations shutdowns. Causing a blockage with FOG’s is a common issue, and can be compliantly rectified with GreenSpark’s expert grease management services.

FAQs
How do grease blockages happen?
Grease blockages are commonly caused by a build up of FOG’s (fats, oils, grease). Commonly used in commercial and domestic settings, the kitchen sink is normally where FOG products end up. Once cooled, fats, oils and greases solidify within pipe linings, building up and trapping additional waste over time. Blockages can cause foul odours, flooding and even damage to sewer/drainage systems.
How do I avoid a grease blockage?
If your business handles FOG products, you should invest in a grease management strategy to ensure you are not unlawfully discharging products, and to improve your environmental compliance. GreenSpark can help you maintain your assets and provide specialist advice on how to remedy blockages, including dosing units, grease traps and our industrial cleaning services.
