Our Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Process
Our professional kitchen exhaust cleaning service follows a systematic, thorough approach to remove grease buildup and ensure safe, efficient operation. Each step is documented and validated to meet fire safety codes and regulations.
Initial Inspection and Assessment
We begin by conducting a detailed visual inspection of your entire exhaust system, from hood to rooftop fan. Our technicians photograph key areas to document the current condition.
We measure grease accumulation at multiple points using specialized tools and compare readings to NFPA standards.
Our team examines all access points, filters, and mechanical components to create a targeted cleaning plan. We identify any maintenance issues that need attention.
Thorough Degreasing and Cleaning
We protect surrounding surfaces and equipment with heavy-duty coverings before starting the cleaning process.
Our cleaning method combines powerful degreasers with hot water pressure washing to break down stubborn grease deposits. We clean every component:
- Hood surfaces and plenum
- Removable baffle filters
- Horizontal and vertical ductwork
- Exhaust fan housing and blades
We scrape accumulated grease by hand in areas pressure washing can’t reach.
Final Inspection and Reporting
Our technicians conduct a thorough post-cleaning inspection of all components. We take detailed photos to document the cleaned state of your system.
We test fan operation and airflow to confirm proper system function. All filters and access panels are securely reinstalled.
You receive a detailed service report with before/after photos and recommendations for maintaining optimal system performance. We apply a cleaning verification sticker showing the service date.
