Kitchen Hood Cleaning
Our 8-step cleaning process removes grease buildup from commercial kitchen hoods using heated pressure washing and stainless steel polishing. Technicians document each job with before/after photos and NFPA compliance stickers. Regular maintenance prevents fire hazards while ensuring adherence to local fire codes through detailed post-service reports.
Air Duct Cleaning
Comprehensive HVAC system cleaning removes dust, allergens, and pollutants from residential and commercial air ducts. Our EPA-sanitized process improves indoor air quality and system efficiency through thorough inspection, cleaning, and airflow testing using professional-grade equipment.
Rooftop Grease Containment
Patented rooftop systems capture cooking byproducts using 5-layer filtration and hydrophobic technology. These UL-approved units prevent roof damage, protect storm drains, and maintain compliance through regular maintenance of grease boxes and containment gutters.
Filter Exchange Program
Scheduled filter replacement service prevents grease fires while maintaining exhaust efficiency. Our program includes professional cleaning of stainless steel filters and replacement of damaged units with minimal operational disruption across commercial kitchens.
Exhaust System Repair
We repair and install hinge kits, access panels, and fan components for commercial exhaust systems. Services include ductwork maintenance, grease trap installation, and compliance upgrades to extend equipment lifespan while meeting safety regulations.
