hood cleaning
Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning, more commonly known as Hood Cleaning is not only mandated by State and local authorities but, it's essential for the safety and welfare of your employees as well as the patrons to your restaurant. Your Kitchen Exhaust System (KES) or Vent-a-Hoods located above your cooking station, removes smoke and grease laden vapors from your kitchen while cooking. Over time these vapors deposit grease throughout the system beginning with the filters, then behind the filters, up the stack and the fan on the roof. Grease build up in the system creates a fire hazard. Excessive buildup in the system is not only fuel for a fire but it reduces the air flow and this will allow those grease laden vapors to rise up into the kitchen environment, discoloring the walls and ceiling tiles. These vapors also contain harmful carcinogens which can pose a health risk to employees and patrons alike over time.
Having your Hood Cleaned by a professional Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning company will reduce the risk of fire damage and provide a healthier, more pleasant environment for you, your employees and patrons.
How often does your restaurant require a Hood Cleaning? Hood Cleaning is governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA #96) regulation. Frequency of Hood Cleaning depends on volume of cooking. Churches and Daycare facilities are typically inspected and serviced on an annual basis. Most food service facilities are serviced every three months. Facilities using solid fuel (Wood Burning) equipment must be inspected and serviced on a monthly basis.
