Commercial kitchen operations cause vaporized grease to solidify in ventilation ducts over time, creating a fire hazard. To keep cooking operations safe and to avoid fines for noncompliance, NFPA standards outline how often and which areas of the vent hood system should be cleaned by certified professionals.

Professional hood cleaning companies understand these requirements like the back of their hands. They use listed grease removal devices to thoroughly remove deposits, reducing the risk of fires and keeping your business protected.
Cleaning Requirements
Clean all accessible interior surfaces of the hood, including the filter tracts, plenum area, and grease troughs. Clean the duct work, including accessible baffles and access doors. Remove and degrease the roof or wall mount fan and clean the base, shroud, and fan blades. Clean and degrease the grease cup(s) and removable grease trays.
The NFPA 96 standard also requires that any penetrations, seams, and joints directing grease-laden vapors must be welded liquid tight and that all fans are equipped with service hold-open retainers to allow access for inspection, maintenance and cleaning. This prevents accumulated grease from accumulating in inaccessible areas of the exhaust ductwork, further mitigating the risk of fires.
Aside from regularly cleaning your hood and vents, it is important to get a NFPA-certified inspector to inspect your vents and hoods. The IKECA-certified professionals at Service-Tech are ready to help with all your NFPA-96 cleaning and inspection needs, including the same services that they provide for NASA, GE, Nestle and many other US government agencies.
