Restaurant Hood, Oven & Appliance Vent Cleaning
Heavy-duty degreasing for commercial kitchen exhaust—reducing grease fire risk, restoring exhaust performance, and supporting health and fire-code readiness.
Overview
Commercial kitchen exhaust demands professional cleaning
Cooking produces grease-laden vapor that deposits inside hoods, filters, ducts, and fans. Without removal, layers thicken, airflow drops, and fire risk rises.
We support restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, and institutional food service. Frequency should match your volume—high-production kitchens often need quarterly attention; lighter kitchens may use semi-annual schedules.
- Hood & plenum degreasing
- Accessible duct & fan routes
- Filter service
- Floor protection
- After-hours options
- Documentation for records
Why it matters
Grease buildup raises fire risk and kills exhaust performance
Common kitchen issues we correct on every professional clean.
Grease is a fuel source
Grease builds up inside hoods, plenums, and exhaust ducts. Under high heat, those layers can ignite and spread fire through the kitchen in seconds.
Smoke and heat spill back
When the exhaust can’t pull properly, smoke and heat spill back onto the cook line—making the kitchen uncomfortable and slowing service down.
Inspection pressure
Health and fire inspectors want documented cleaning records and verified access. Missing paperwork or blocked access panels mean violations and delays.
Fans strain and run loud
When duct runs are coated in grease, exhaust fans have to work harder to move air. You hear the strain—and pay for it in higher energy bills and premature motor wear.
Slip and wash-water risk
Degreasing produces runoff that becomes a slip hazard if it’s not contained. Our crews use floor protection and disciplined cleanup on every single job.
Franchise audit gaps
Franchise operators need consistent, repeatable cleaning records across every location. We deliver the same documented process at every site, every visit.
