Services
Hood Cleaning
Our kitchen hood cleaning removes flammable grease buildup from commercial exhaust systems. Using pressure washing and specialized solutions, we ensure compliance with NFPA 96 standards while preventing fire hazards. Services include manual scraping, chemical treatment, and high-pressure rinsing for complete residue removal in restaurants and industrial kitchens.
Grease Containment
Rooftop grease containment systems prevent oil runoff damage to commercial roofs. We install Omni containment units and GL365 disposable filters that capture grease before it reaches roof surfaces. This protects against membrane degradation, EPA violations, and costly repairs while maintaining fire safety compliance for food service establishments.
Surface Cleaning
Commercial pressure washing services clean building exteriors, loading docks, and equipment surfaces. Our high-pressure techniques remove grease residue, cosmetic wear, and debris buildup from metal awnings, parking decks, and kitchen equipment. This maintains facility aesthetics while preventing slip hazards and code violations across multiple commercial property types.
Maintenance Program
Customized maintenance plans combine hood cleaning and grease containment services into recurring schedules. Programs include monthly visits for 24-hour kitchens, quarterly cleanings for standard restaurants, and biannual service for pizza establishments. We offer key access options and flexible billing to minimize business disruption while ensuring continuous NFPA compliance.
NFPA Compliance
Our NFPA 96 compliance services cover complete kitchen exhaust system evaluations. We address access panel requirements, grease filter installations, and spark arrestor maintenance to meet fire marshal inspection standards. This includes documentation of cleaning frequencies, equipment specifications, and safety protocol implementations for commercial kitchens across multiple industries.
