Vent Hood System Cleaning
Any place that cooks food commercially should have their kitchen hood system cleaned sometimes refers to as kitchen exhaust cleaned on a regular basis as specified by NFPA 96 and other local codes. This includes, but is not limited to, restaurants, nursing homes, hospitals, churches, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities, military bases, theaters, jails, prisons, race tracks, theme parks, bowling allies, convenience stores, and truck stops.
How the Kitchen Hood System Works:
Grease from your commercial cooking operation is intended to be captured by your hood and exhausted through the baffle filters, into the plenum, up the grease duct, then through the fan and into the air or captured by a grease tray beneath the fan. Routine hood cleaning/kitchen exhaust cleaning, as outlined by NFPA-96 guidelines, will keep all these areas free dangerous grease build-up preventing fire hazards from ever existing!
Our Process:
- Drap new plastic sheetings around the area being cleaned.
- Place plastic funnel under the hood which will drain the buildup of grease removed from the system. This ensures that the grease removed from the system will be filtered out from going down the floor drain.
- Clean and polish hoods
- Clean vertical and horizontal ducts, through access panels, if any.
- Clean exhaust fan.
- We mop the floor after our service.
- We attach Certificate of Performance sticker with date of service and lead technician name. (per NFPA 96)
