Complete Kitchen Exhaust & Fire Prevention Services

What it is: Complete degreasing of the entire hood canopy — interior surfaces, baffles, grease traps, and drip trays — using hot-water pressure washing and EPA-approved commercial degreasers.

Why it matters: The hood is the primary grease collection point in any kitchen exhaust system. Buildup here is the most common starting point for exhaust system fires and the first component a fire marshal examines.

Client benefit: Dated compliance certificate. Before and after documentation. Written service record issued after every visit.

Best for: All commercial kitchens. Required under NFPA 96 for any licensed food service operation.

What it is: Full cleaning of all accessible ductwork connecting the hood to the exhaust fan, including access panel inspection and grease accumulation removal throughout the duct run.

Why it matters: Grease accumulates inside ductwork and can ignite from heat or spark even when the hood appears clean. NFPA 96 requires duct cleaning as part of a complete exhaust system service — not an optional add-on.

Client benefit: Full duct system compliance. Access panel documentation. Grease depth reporting where applicable.

Best for: Full-service restaurants, hotel kitchens, and any operation with long or complex duct runs.

What it is: Complete cleaning of the rooftop or wall-mounted exhaust fan unit — including fan blades, housing, motor compartment, and grease containment check.

Why it matters: Grease buildup on exhaust fans is a leading cause of rooftop fires. Fan units operate under continuous heat and airflow, making them high-risk if not regularly serviced.

Client benefit: Reduced rooftop fire risk. Improved fan efficiency and equipment longevity. Documented as part of full-system compliance.

Best for: Any kitchen with a rooftop or exterior-mounted exhaust fan — the majority of commercial kitchens.

What it is: Comprehensive grease elimination across all system components — surfaces, joints, seams, and hard-to-reach areas — using commercial-grade degreasers and pressure equipment.

Why it matters: Grease migrates through the full exhaust system and accumulates in areas standard cleaning misses. Heavy buildup dramatically increases fire risk and results in failed inspections.

Client benefit: Reduced fire risk. Cleaner system operation. Documentation of grease levels before and after service.

Best for: High-volume fry operations, charbroil kitchens, and any kitchen with infrequent prior cleaning.

What it is: Recurring service contracts providing monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual exhaust system cleaning on a fixed schedule aligned with your compliance requirements.

Why it matters: NFPA 96 requires cleaning frequency based on cooking volume. A maintenance contract ensures you never fall out of compliance — and locks in your rate.

Client benefit: Priority scheduling. Up to 10% discount on recurring visits. Compliance calendar maintained. Annual service summary for insurance renewals.

Best for: Any kitchen seeking predictable compliance costs and guaranteed scheduling. Essential for multi-location operators.

What it is: Targeted full-system service for kitchens preparing for an upcoming fire marshal inspection, insurance audit, or health department visit — completed on an accelerated timeline.

Why it matters: A failed inspection means operational shutdown, reinspection fees, and potential insurance consequences. Inspection-ready cleaning eliminates that risk before it happens.

Client benefit: Compliance certificate issued same visit. Full documentation package. Priority scheduling within 24–48 hours.

Best for: Any kitchen facing an imminent inspection, new license application, ownership transfer, or insurance renewal.

What it is: Coordinated service programs for restaurant groups, franchise operators, hotel chains, and property managers overseeing multiple commercial kitchen locations.

Why it matters: Multi-location operators face amplified compliance risk — one failed location can trigger cross-property audits. A coordinated program ensures consistent standards across all sites.

Client benefit: Single point of contact. Standardized documentation across locations. Volume pricing available. Annual compliance reporting by location.

Best for: Restaurant groups, franchise operators, hotel management companies, ghost kitchen operators, school districts.
