The system is clean to NFPA 96 limits. Three installation items need correction — see Findings on page 5.
Cleaning Pros Plus, LLC cleaned the full exhaust system, from the hood to the fan and rooftop area, and measured grease depth before and after with the depth gauge comb. The horizontal duct and fan blades read at the cleaning-required depth before service. Every location measured No Grease Build Up after service. Three installation items need correction: the missing fan hinge, the missing rooftop grease containment, and the missing clean-out port on the fan bowl. All accessible areas were cleaned, and the inaccessible areas have been documented.
The exhaust system at this premises was inspected and cleaned in accordance with NFPA 96 §12.4–§12.6. Ongoing maintenance responsibility rests with the building owner per §4.1. Determination of compliance with this standard is the responsibility of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Every location cleaned and inspected on this service, with the result recorded at the time of service.

The back of the fan blades was reached with limited access because the fan bowl has no clean-out port (Finding 3). No other area was inaccessible.
Readings against NFPA 96 §12.6.1.1, taken with the depth gauge comb at each location before and after cleaning. The fan bowl is measured against critical depth; every other location against the cleaning-required depth.

Items observed during service, with the correction for each. Each finding is high severity.
Without a hinge the fan can’t be lifted safely, which blocks access for cleaning.
Recommended CorrectionInstall a hinge so the fan lifts safely for inspection and cleaning.
Grease on the roof damages the roofing and is costly to repair.
Recommended CorrectionInstall rooftop grease containment at the fan and clean the grease from the roof.
Without a port, grease builds up on the back of the fan blades where it can’t be reached, and it negatively impacts performance.
Recommended CorrectionInstall a clean-out port on the fan bowl so the back of the fan blades can be cleaned.
