Restaurants and food service establishments everywhere can face a "drain" on their bottom line when
problems occur from the improper disposal of cooking grease down sink and floor drains. Sewer backups
and overflows in the environment have significant impacts that threaten our valuable water resources—those
we use for drinking and for playing and fishing. They also can cause potentially life-threatening illnesses, or
at the very least, gastrointestinal problems and pink eye. They also cause things like algal blooms to occur,
which not only look and possibly smell bad, but wreak havoc on our marine life, the very fish that many
restaurants depend on to put on the plate.
What also happens to your restaurant when a sewer backup or overflow occurs?
Your restaurant is shut
down, closed to the public, until the cleanup operations have ceased.
