What a Pleasant Hill Hood Cleaning Covers
A Pleasant Hill hood cleaning covers the accessible system. We pull the access panels along the duct, foam with degreaser, scrape, mechanically brush where required and rinse the hood interior and plenum, repeating as required, clean the run to the roof, and lift the rooftop fan to clean the housing, the blades and the curb.
Belt and bearing condition go in the report every time. You receive dated photographs of every accessible surface and a report naming what was cleaned and anything that could not be reached.

Fire Inspection Process in Pleasant Hill
Fire inspectors in Contra Costa County conduct walkthroughs that include visual inspection of the hood interior, ductwork access panels, and rooftop exhaust fans.

Inspectors also check that fire suppression systems have been serviced within the required timeframe. Violations result in a correction notice — failure to correct can lead to operational restrictions or fines.
How It Works
Schedule around your hours
Tell us when the equipment is cold.
Inspect before we clean
The technician photographs the hood, the run and the rooftop unit first, checks panel condition, blade loading and belt wear, and confirms the interval your cooking calls for.
Clean the full system
Canopy, plenum, then the duct, then the fan housing, blades and curb. Baked-on deposits are scraped or mechanically brushed, not just rinsed and left.
Leave the record behind
Dated photographs, a written NFPA 96 inspection report, and a certificate, sealed the day the work is done and retrievable whenever it is needed.
