Bare-metal cleaning of hood, duct, and fan to NFPA 96 and IKECA standard. Before-and-after photo documentation on every service.
We clean every accessible component of your kitchen exhaust system to bare metal using hand-scraping and hot-wash techniques.
We note any areas with limited access in your report. We do not perform fire-suppression system work.
NFPA 96 Table 12.4 sets cleaning frequency based on cooking type and volume. Your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) may require a stricter schedule.
| Type of Cooking Operation | Required Frequency |
|---|---|
| Solid fuel cooking (wood, charcoal, mesquite) | Monthly |
| High-volume cooking (24-hour operations, charbroiling, wok cooking) | Quarterly |
| Moderate-volume cooking (full-service restaurants) | Semi-Annually |
| Low-volume cooking (churches, day camps, senior centers, seasonal) | Annually |
