A clean-looking hood does not necessarily mean the rest of the exhaust system has been addressed. Commercial cooking produces airborne grease that can travel beyond visible surfaces and collect throughout accessible areas of the exhaust path.
Our commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning service is designed to address the system—not simply polish the areas customers and employees can see.
Depending on the system configuration, accessibility and agreed scope of work, service may include:
Grease can travel into the ductwork connecting the hood to the exhaust fan. We inspect and clean accessible duct areas included in the service scope.
Commercial hood filters work in one of the busiest parts of the kitchen exhaust system. As grease accumulates, filters require regular attention—not an occasional cleaning whenever someone happens to notice them.
“Removing grease buildup helps lower the risk of kitchen fires and keeps your facility safer for employees and customers.”
“Routine cleaning helps you meet fire code and insurance requirements.”
“A clean system allows for better airflow, which can help your ventilation equipment perform as intended.”
“Removing grease, smoke residue and contaminants helps maintain a cleaner working environment.”
The appropriate frequency depends on the type and volume of cooking, hours of operation, equipment, fuel source, previous maintenance and the system’s observed condition. An inspection can help establish a more appropriate schedule for the individual facility.
Depending on the agreed scope and system accessibility, service may include the hood, filters, plenum, accessible ductwork, exhaust fan, fan housing and nearby components. Customers should receive a clear scope identifying what is and is not included.
Accessible grease ductwork and exhaust-fan components may be included, depending on system design, safe access and the agreed scope. The inspection should identify visible access limitations before cleaning begins.
No. Filters are only one component of the kitchen exhaust system. Filter cleaning does not address grease that may have accumulated in the hood, plenum, accessible ductwork, exhaust fan or other system areas.
Accessible grease ductwork and exhaust-fan components may be included, depending on system design, safe access and the agreed scope. The inspection should identify visible access limitations before cleaning begins.
