Cleaning An Emergency Grease Spill At A Restaurant

by | Sep 28, 2011 | Grease Spill Cleanup

We got a call last week to clean a grease spill at a restaurant. But when we got there, we found that someone had tried to clean it with a hose and the greasy water had run down the alley for almost a block.

Grease Spill Ran Down The Block

Grease Spill Ran Down The Block

Every restaurant that cooks with grease – and most do – has a grease container in the back to hold the grease to be recycled.

Sometimes they spill some grease while dumping into the container. It doesn’t take too many gallons of dirty grease to make a huge mess.

And if you try to wash it without a way to collect all the greasy water, it will run downhill until it runs into a storm drain, leaving a greasy trail all the way. And letting anything except rainwater run into the storm drain can get you a big fine.  Penalties can start at $1000/day.

You need a company with the experience to clean this kind of mess the right way. And you need a company with the manpower to get there quickly before it gets worse.

We specialize in cleaning restaurants and food grease spills. We also clean other grease, oil, and hydraulic spills.

Call us to clean up your mess – before it becomes a bigger problem.
