Clean commercial kitchen exhaust duct interior
Safety is the standard

Built around
NFPA 96.

Commercial cooking produces grease-laden vapors that travel through the hood, plenum, ducts, and fan. NFPA 96 places the exhaust system on an inspection-and-cleaning cycle based on the operation—not a one-size-fits-all calendar. The service scope should follow that full path, remove deposits from accessible contaminated surfaces, and identify areas that could not be reached.

01

Inspect before prescribingCooking methods, fuel, volume, operating hours, system layout, and observed deposits all inform the recommended interval and quoted scope.

02

Trace the complete exhaust pathThe assessment follows accessible surfaces from filters and hood plenums through ducts, access panels, fan components, and the rooftop exhaust fan.

03

Clean accessible contaminated surfacesCrews use appropriate scraping, washing, and degreasing methods while containing wastewater and protecting the cook line. Hidden or inaccessible areas are documented for follow-up.

04

Close out with a usable recordA complete service packet should state the date, equipment served, work performed, observed limitations, condition notes, and labeled before-and-after photographs.

Important: A cleaning visit supports the facility’s fire-safety program; it does not replace the owner’s inspections, repairs, fire-suppression service, or authority-having-jurisdiction requirements.

Common questions

Know before
we clean.

Every kitchen is different. We assess the system and recommend a service plan built around your operation.

The interval depends on the cooking process, fuel, volume, operating hours, and observed grease accumulation. Solid-fuel and high-volume operations generally require closer attention than low-volume facilities. A site assessment can inform an NFPA 96-focused schedule, but the facility owner and authority having jurisdiction determine applicable requirements.

The quote should say exactly what is included. A complete-system scope follows accessible surfaces from the filters and hood plenums through the ductwork and access panels to the rooftop exhaust fan. Missing access, unsafe conditions, or excluded equipment should be listed rather than implied.

The team confirms the equipment and approved scope, shutdown and access needs, roof route, water and power availability, cook-line protection, containment, and wastewater plan. Our technicians receive extensive training to support consistent preparation, professional service, and safe work practices. Site-specific restrictions should be shared during quoting so they can be planned—not discovered at arrival.

Preferred timing can be requested in the quote form. Actual availability depends on the local crew, service area, access window, and job size. Share opening and closing times plus any alarm, keyholder, loading, or roof-access restrictions.

A useful record identifies the service date, facility, equipment served, work completed, before-and-after views, observed access limitations, and visible items needing repair or follow-up. Confirm the exact deliverables included with your local operator before scheduling.

The inaccessible section should be identified and documented. The next step may be an additional access panel, a separate fabrication or repair quote, or coordination with another qualified trade. It should not be represented as cleaned if it could not be reached.

Hood Guyz exchanges grease-loaded hood filters for clean replacements on a recurring schedule suited to your kitchen. It reduces in-house filter-washing time and helps maintain cleaner, more consistent airflow. Contact us so we can confirm filter sizes, quantities, and service frequency.

Provide the facility address, service requested, hood count and approximate lengths, cooking type, last known cleaning, roof and duct access details, preferred timing, and clear photos if available. A walkthrough may still be needed for complex or unfamiliar systems.

Not unless those items are expressly included in writing. Cleaning, mechanical repairs, fabrication, fire-suppression inspection, and code enforcement are distinct scopes. Visible concerns can be documented and routed for an appropriate follow-up quote or qualified trade.
