The only IKECA member company serving San Joaquin County — CECS-certified · NFPA 96 expert witness
From Stockton’s waterfront to Tracy’s distribution corridor to Lodi’s wine country, we clean the full exhaust system to bare metal and document every job to code — San Joaquin County’s only IKECA-certified crew.
San Joaquin County is where the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta meets the Central Valley and Northern California’s logistics gateway. Stockton anchors it as the county seat and an inland deepwater port; the Tracy–Lathrop–Manteca corridor has become one of the fastest-growing distribution hubs in the state; Lodi is nationally known wine country; and Delta and valley agriculture run throughout.
Every commercial kitchen in the county runs an exhaust system on the same NFPA 96 clock — from a downtown Stockton restaurant to a distribution-center cafeteria in Tracy to a Lodi tasting-room kitchen — in a climate of hard valley heat and Delta humidity that builds up grease faster than a calendar default assumes.
Every city in the county, cleaned to bare metal and documented to code.
Most hood cleaning in this market is a truck, a pressure washer, and a rinse that leaves grease exactly where an inspector will find it. If your current provider hands you an invoice and nothing else — no photos, no certificate, no proof — you don’t actually have a compliant cleaning. You have a receipt.
The nearest other IKECA-certified company is 70+ miles away, in the Bay Area. IKECA certification isn’t a logo — it’s a standard, with insurance and training requirements behind it.
We don’t surface-rinse. Hood, filters, ductwork, fan, rooftop — the entire system, scraped and cleaned to the metal, the way NFPA 96 actually intends.
Before-and-after photos, timestamps, and a signed certificate — documented through EvidLY, so it’s there when the inspector, landlord, or insurer asks.
Founder Arthur Haggerty is a CECS-certified specialist and a retained NFPA 96 expert witness — the person attorneys call when a commercial kitchen fire ends up in court.
Who enforces it depends on where your kitchen sits: the Stockton Fire Department in Stockton, the Manteca Fire Department in Manteca, the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority in Tracy, along with city departments and fire districts elsewhere in the county, and CAL FIRE for unincorporated state-responsibility areas.
Whatever your jurisdiction, the standard is NFPA 96 — and they’ll ask for cleaning records that meet it. We clean to the standard and hand you the record before anyone asks.
Tell us about your kitchen — number of hoods, cooking type, roof access. We scope the system, give you clear pricing, and schedule around your service, not ours.
Our IKECA-certified crew assesses the full exhaust system, cleans hood to rooftop, and documents everything with photos and timestamps.
Photo-verified compliance documentation and a signed certificate your local fire authority accepts. Hand it over with confidence.

"We received excellent service, follow up and communication throughout the whole hood cleaning service for our restaurant. The owner Arthur is a stand up guy who does exactly what he says he'll do. I'm really happy we made the switch."
