About Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Commercial exhaust hood cleaning is not just a maintenance task — it's a fire safety and health code requirement. NFPA 96 mandates regular cleaning of exhaust hoods, filters, ductwork, and fans based on cooking volume. Our certified hood cleaning technicians provide thorough cleaning and inspection, leaving your ventilation system compliant and safe. Our service includes complete degreasing of the hood canopy, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan. We document the cleaning with before and after photos and provide a compliance certificate for your health inspection records. We also inspect the system for damage or wear that could create fire hazards.

Exhaust Hood Cleaning FAQs

My dishwasher isn't dispensing chemicals properly. What's wrong?

Chemical dispensing problems are typically caused by: clogged or faulty chemical pumps, incorrect dilution ratios, empty chemical containers, broken injection lines, or control board issues. In low-temperature machines, proper chemical concentration is essential for sanitization — test strips should verify concentration after every repair. Many chemical distributors offer free testing; alternatively, a technician can verify and repair the dispensing system.

What safety checks should be done on a commercial fryer?

Commercial fryer safety checks include: verifying hi-limit switch operation, checking thermostat accuracy, inspecting gas connections and pressure (gas fryers), testing electrical connections (electric fryers), checking oil filtration system function, inspecting drain valve operation, verifying fire suppression system compatibility, and checking for oil leaks. Safety checks should be performed by a certified technician at every service visit.
