Kitchen Exhaust and Hood Cleaning
Stay Compliant with NFPA 96 Standards
Grease buildup inside exhaust systems is a major fire hazard. NFPA 96 requires regular cleaning of kitchen hoods, ducts, and fans. We help restaurants and commercial kitchens meet safety codes while keeping systems running efficiently.
What’s Involved?
Our Hood Cleaning Includes:
- Hood and filter degreasing
- Ductwork and fan cleaning
- Roof grease containment check
- NFPA 96 compliance checklist
- Photo documentation and service report
Key Requirements & Procedures:
- Frequency: Determined by cooking type and volume, with solid fuel requiring monthly service, high-volume (24-hr) quarterly, moderate (standard restaurants) semi-annually, and low-volume (seasonal) annually.
- Professional Service: Must be performed by a certified, trained company, not kitchen staff.
- Thoroughness: Cleaning must reach "bare metal" on all contaminated surfaces, including hoods, ducts, and fans. Not all companies will clean the entire system; behind filters, ducts, and other hard-to-reach spots might be ignored.
- Discount cleaning services have a reputation for cutting corners by only cleaning visible areas, rather than removing panels to clean in unseen places.
