Removes flammable grease
and oil deposits that collect
Professional hood cleaning removes flammable grease and oil deposits that collect in ventilation systems during normal cooking operations. These buildups represent significant fire risks that can threaten property, staff, and customers if left unaddressed. Beyond safety concerns, maintaining a clean kitchen exhaust system improves air quality, extends equipment lifespan, and ensures your establishment passes required inspections.
Our certified technicians thoroughly clean all components of your kitchen ventilation system, including hoods, filters, ducts, fans, and roof exhaust outlets. Each cleaning is documented with before-and-after photos, providing verification for inspectors and insurance carriers that your business remains compliant with local fire codes.

Expert Hood Exhaust Fan Cleaning & Repair Services
The image shows a commercial kitchen exhaust fan (also known as an upblast exhaust fan or turbine), which is a critical component of restaurant hood ventilation systems. These stainless steel units are mounted on the roof and are responsible for extracting grease-laden air, smoke, and heat from the kitchen. Over time, these fans accumulate significant grease buildup that can restrict airflow, create fire hazards, and cause mechanical failures.
Our specialized hood turbine cleaning and repair service addresses these crucial ventilation components that many cleaning companies overlook. We thoroughly disassemble, degrease, and clean all fan components including the housing, wheel, shaft, and motor compartment. Our technicians inspect for worn bearings, belt issues, and electrical problems that could lead to system failure. Regular maintenance of these exhaust fans not only prevents dangerous grease fires but also extends equipment lifespan, improves energy efficiency, and ensures your kitchen maintains proper air extraction rates required by safety codes.
