Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Services

The frequency depends on your kitchen’s volume and cooking methods. High-volume restaurants typically require monthly cleaning, while moderate-use facilities need quarterly service.

Pizza ovens, charbroilers, and fryers generate more grease buildup than standard cooking equipment. We assess your specific operations during our initial inspection to determine the optimal cleaning schedule.

NFPA 96 standards mandate minimum cleaning frequencies, but we recommend based on actual grease accumulation levels. Our team monitors your system’s condition and adjusts scheduling recommendations accordingly.

All commercial kitchens must comply with NFPA 96 fire safety standards for exhaust system maintenance. Local fire departments conduct inspections and require documented proof of professional cleaning services.

Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland enforce these standards through regular fire safety inspections. We provide detailed cleaning certificates that satisfy regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions we serve.

Insurance companies also require compliance documentation for coverage validation. Our comprehensive reporting ensures your business meets both regulatory and insurance obligations.

We maintain local staff who answer calls directly and provide immediate scheduling assistance. Our team has established relationships throughout the Mid-Atlantic region over many years of consistent service.

We clean the complete exhaust system from hood to rooftop, including ductwork and exhaust fans that other companies often overlook. Our thorough approach prevents fire hazards and ensures optimal system performance.

We provide detailed photographic documentation before and after each cleaning. This comprehensive reporting helps you track system condition and demonstrates compliance to inspectors.

Clean exhaust systems operate with improved airflow and reduced strain on ventilation equipment. Grease buildup restricts airflow and forces fans to work harder, increasing energy consumption.

Regular cleaning maintains proper ventilation balance and temperature control. This reduces the load on your HVAC system and lowers overall energy costs.

Clean systems also capture grease more efficiently, preventing odors from escaping into dining areas. This maintains air quality without requiring additional ventilation adjustments.

Standard restaurant exhaust systems typically require 3 to 5 hours for complete cleaning. Larger facilities with multiple hoods or extensive ductwork may need 6 to 8 hours.

We work around your operating schedule whenever possible. Many restaurants prefer overnight or early morning cleaning to avoid disrupting service hours.

The initial cleaning of neglected systems takes longer than regularly maintained equipment. We provide accurate time estimates after assessing your specific system configuration.

We follow NFPA 96 protocols for all cleaning procedures and use certified cleaning methods. Our team inspects systems after cleaning to confirm they meet safety compliance standards.

We protect your kitchen equipment and surfaces during the cleaning process. Our crews use specialized covers and containment methods to prevent damage to surrounding areas.

All technicians carry proper insurance and safety equipment for rooftop and confined space work. We maintain safety certifications and training programs to protect both our staff and your property.
