Hood and duct cleaning is the core of every exhaust service. The canopy and plenum catch the first and heaviest grease, and the duct carries the rest toward the roof. Cleaning both in the same visit keeps buildup from simply relocating within the system.
We use hand scraping, chemical degreasing, and hot water pressure washing through the hood and available access points. Where a duct run is too long or bends without access, we report it so you can decide on next steps.

Safety and NFPA 96
For hood and duct cleaning, NFPA 96 (the National Fire Protection Association standard for commercial cooking operations) is the usual reference for inspection, cleaning access, and documentation. The edition in force and how it is enforced depend on your local authority having jurisdiction. We clean thoroughly and document our work, but no contractor can guarantee an inspection result. Learn more about NFPA 96.
