Hanford is the seat of Kings County, and much of its trade happens in buildings that have been standing a long time — the Civic Auditorium, the Fox Theatre, and the China Alley block that carries the city’s Chinese heritage. Duct in that part of town was fitted around existing structure rather than designed alongside it, and the bends it takes are where grease settles.
Climate supplies the second pressure. Hanford summers clear 100°F for weeks at a stretch, which keeps rooftop fan motors and bearings running hot, shortens belt life, and softens deposits until they travel further along the duct than an owner expects. Dust off the dairy and row-crop ground surrounding the city loads filters on top of that.
Kitchens here run from the restaurants ringing historic Courthouse Square and the Civic Auditorium out to the 12th Avenue commercial corridor, alongside the institutional and healthcare food service a county seat carries and the dairy processing that anchors the local economy.
Adventist Health Hanford, Hanford Joint Union and the downtown restaurant trade all operate kitchens that have to be inspection-ready, and the dairy and ag operations around the city add another layer. Whether it is one hood downtown or a hospital line, the job is identical: the entire exhaust system, cleaned to NFPA 96 standards and documented to code.
The whole system comes into scope: hood interior and baffles, the plenum sitting behind them, the duct along its length, and the rooftop fan lifted off its curb so blades, housing and the deck underneath are cleaned instead of rinsed from a distance. Filters leave the building for degreasing.
Around Courthouse Square and China Alley the horizontal run is usually what defeats people — long, flat and short on openings. When a midsection cannot be reached we price the access panel rather than record duct nobody touched as finished. Belts, bearings and airflow get assessed while the fan is already off its curb.
A rinse delivered from the roof leaves grease precisely where an inspector looks first. When the only thing handed over afterwards is an invoice, what you hold is proof of payment rather than proof of cleaning.
Membership binds us to the IKECA methodology and to evidencing every job against NFPA 96. That is the line between a service call and a file your inspector can accept.
Hood, baffles, plenum, duct, fan and curb, worked mechanically and with foam rather than blasted from one convenient position.
Timestamped before-and-after photographs and a signed certificate, sealed in EvidLY so it surfaces the moment an inspector, landlord or insurer asks.
Founder Arthur Haggerty holds the CECS and has been retained as an NFPA 96 expert witness. The benchmark applied after a fire is the benchmark applied on an ordinary Tuesday.
For a commercial kitchen inside Hanford city limits, the Hanford Fire Department is your authority having jurisdiction — established in 1888, it’s the oldest fire department in California, running three stations with career firefighters — and your exhaust has to meet NFPA 96. We clean to the standard and hand you the record before anyone asks.
Hood count, cooking type, how we reach the roof. We scope the system and price it before anyone turns up.
Hood through to curb, opened where opening is possible, with photographs captured at each stage of the work.
Belts, bearings and airflow reviewed while the unit is lifted, so wear is found on a planned visit rather than a busy evening.
A signed certificate and photo report, filed in EvidLY and ready well before the Hanford Fire Department asks to see it.
Cleaning Pros Plus carries IKECA Membership ID 76716495, and PECT Designated Technicians perform the work on site. Founder Arthur Haggerty holds CECS #200452 and has been retained as an NFPA 96 expert witness. Every Hanford job is sealed in EvidLY, so certificate and photographs stay together and retrievable long after the invoice has been paid.
