Service
Commercial Hood Cleaning
Commercial cooking produces grease-laden vapor every service. Over time that vapor condenses on the hood, filters, plenum, and ductwork. Our commercial hood cleaning service removes that buildup across the accessible parts of your exhaust system so it can move air the way it was designed to.
About this service
A commercial hood is more than the stainless canopy you see over the line. Behind the filters sits the plenum, then the duct, then the exhaust fan, usually on the roof. Grease travels through every one of those sections. A proper cleaning addresses the system as a whole rather than just wiping down the visible surfaces.
We start by protecting cooking equipment and floors, then remove filters and apply a commercial degreaser to the hood interior and plenum. Accessible ductwork and the exhaust fan are scraped and washed, and residue is captured and removed from the site. Before we leave, we reinstall filters, check that the fan runs, and walk you through what we found.
When this service is needed
- Regular scheduled maintenance for an active restaurant
- Visible grease dripping from the hood or filters
- Smoke lingering in the kitchen during service
- Preparing for a fire marshal or insurance inspection
- Taking over a previously operated kitchen space
