Frequently Asked Questions
Restaurant owners and managers seek specific information about professional hood cleaning requirements, procedures, and safety standards to maintain their commercial kitchen systems properly and stay compliant with regulations.
What is the NFPA 96 standard for commercial kitchen hood cleaning?
NFPA 96 establishes the safety standards for commercial cooking operations to prevent fires and ensure proper ventilation. This code requires regular inspections and cleaning of exhaust systems.
The standard specifies minimum cleaning frequencies based on cooking volume and type of food preparation. It also outlines proper cleaning methods and documentation requirements.
How often should a restaurant exhaust system be professionally cleaned?
High-volume cooking operations using solid fuels or producing heavy grease-laden vapors need monthly cleaning services. Moderate-volume operations typically require quarterly cleaning.
Low-volume operations, such as day camps or seasonal businesses, may only need semi-annual cleaning services.
What criteria determine the price of professional hood and exhaust cleaning services?
System size and complexity directly affect cleaning costs. Larger exhaust systems with multiple hoods and extensive ductwork require more time and resources.
The level of grease accumulation impacts pricing, as heavily soiled systems need additional cleaning time and materials.
Accessibility to system components and the timing of service (regular hours vs. after-hours) influence the final cost.
Are there specific certifications required for hood cleaning technicians in Miami?
We maintain IKECA or NFPA certifications for our technicians to ensure professional service standards. Miami-Dade County requires proper licensing for hood cleaning companies.
Our technicians complete ongoing training in safety procedures and cleaning techniques.
Can improper maintenance of kitchen hoods lead to increased fire risks?
Grease buildup in poorly maintained hood systems creates a serious fire hazard. Just 1/8 inch of grease accumulation can fuel a devastating kitchen fire.
Regular cleaning prevents dangerous grease deposits and ensures proper ventilation system operation.
What procedures are involved in a thorough hood and exhaust cleaning?
We inspect the entire system before cleaning to document its condition and identify any repairs needed.
