At McBreen Environmental, we understand the critical importance of maintaining clean and efficient drain systems FSEs. FOG-related blockages can lead to messy and costly distributions, impacting not only your operations but also the environment and public health. That’s where we come in!
Why FOG Matters: The Culprit Behind Drain Disasters
FOG might seem harmless when poured down the drain in its hot liquid form. However once, it cools down, it solidifies, clogging pipes and leading to severe blockages. These blockages can cause raw sewage to overflow into your business premises, public areas, and even nearby water bodies. The environmental and public health hazards associated with FOG are significant.
