Why It Matters
Grease Buildup Is a Fire Hazard — Don't Wait
Commercial kitchen hood vents and exhaust systems accumulate grease with every cook cycle. Left uncleaned, that grease becomes a serious fire risk — and a liability. Most commercial kitchen fires start in the exhaust system.
Beyond fire safety, a clean hood system improves ventilation, reduces odors, keeps your kitchen cooler, and helps your equipment run more efficiently. Regular cleaning also keeps you compliant with NFPA 96 standards and local fire codes.
NFPA 96 Compliance
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96) requires commercial kitchen exhaust systems to be inspected and cleaned on a regular schedule — quarterly for high-volume kitchens, semi-annually or annually for others. We document every cleaning so you have proof of compliance.
