Why Hood Cleaning Matters in Selma

Selma sits astride Highway 99 in southern Fresno County, the self-declared raisin capital, ringed by vineyards and the packing houses that process them. Its kitchens serve the town, the freeway traffic and the crews who work the surrounding ground.

Long runs above 100°F are what make this hard on equipment. Grease oxidises inside the ductwork until the deposit is far more difficult to shift than anything a coastal kitchen leaves, and a hood system running harder and longer to ventilate the room feeds still more grease-laden vapour into the duct.

Selma Kitchens

Commercial Kitchens in Selma

Local kitchens run from the restaurants along the Highway 99 frontage and through downtown to hotel and banquet kitchens, the school kitchens under Selma Unified, and the institutional food service around them.

Banquet work is what separates Selma from a town its size. A room that can serve two hundred covers in an evening loads a duct in a way a daily lunch trade never does, so NFPA 96 frequency is set from the cooking rather than the seating plan.

Scope of Work

What a Selma Hood Cleaning Covers

The full exhaust system is covered — hoods, ducts, fans and rooftop components — with the fan raised off its curb so blades, housing and the deck below are cleaned rather than skimmed.

All of it is documented with before-and-after photographs. Exhaust fan service, grease filter exchange and rooftop grease containment can run in the same visit as part of a complete fire safety programme, and a duct section without an opening is quoted for a panel rather than recorded as done.

2

Clean the Full Exhaust System

Hoods, ducts, fans and rooftop components worked through, photographed as each part is closed out.

3

Fans, Filters and Containment

Fan service, filter exchange and rooftop containment can all be handled on the one visit.

4

Photographs and Certificate

Before-and-after images and a signed certificate, sealed in EvidLY ahead of the inspection.

Proof

What Stands Behind a Selma Service

We hold IKECA Membership ID 76716495, and every Selma job is worked by PECT Designated Technicians. Our founder holds CECS #200452, and Arthur Haggerty has been retained as an NFPA 96 expert witness in commercial kitchen matters. Selma services are sealed in EvidLY, so the before-and-after photographs stay attached to the certificate they belong to.

FAQ

Fire Safety FAQ for Selma

How often must a Selma kitchen be cleaned?▼
Banquet and hotel kitchens here often sit at quarterly, because heavy charbroiling and high-volume service is exactly what NFPA 96 puts in that band. Solid fuel is tighter at monthly, a standard full-service line semi-annual, and a genuinely low-volume room annual. Valley heat is what most often argues for the tighter of two options.
What goes into the cost of a Selma hood cleaning?▼
System size, the cooking on the line, roof access, and how much has gathered since the last full service. The estimate is settled before scheduling.
What does the Fresno Fire Department look at?▼
Whether the certificate matches your cooking type, whether the fire suppression system has been serviced, and whether the photographs in the report take in the duct and the fan.
Our banquet room only runs at weekends — does that lower the interval?▼
Not by as much as owners hope. A banquet kitchen turning out volume across two nights can put more through a duct than a café does across seven, so the interval follows the load rather than the number of days the doors are open.
Do you cover the towns around Selma?▼
Fowler, Kingsburg, Reedley, Sanger, Kerman and Fresno, along with the Highway 99 communities either side.
