Hood & Duct Cleaning
Our comprehensive hood and duct cleaning service meets all OSHA and NFPA standards. Using specialized equipment and proprietary degreasing solutions, we remove hazardous buildup from commercial kitchen exhaust systems. This critical maintenance prevents fire hazards while ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.
Grease Filter Service
We provide industrial-grade grease filter cleaning and exchange services. Our process eliminates the safety risks and inefficiencies of in-house filter washing. With over 2,000 clean filters circulated weekly, we ensure proper grease containment and prevent costly drainage system clogs.
Pressure Washing
Our state-of-the-art pressure washing removes grease buildup from kitchen surfaces, floors, and equipment. Using high-pressure systems and specialized degreasers, we clean splash walls, dumpster areas, and hard-to-reach spaces. This service improves sanitation while maintaining EPA wastewater compliance.
Make-up Air Service
We maintain and repair make-up air units to optimize kitchen ventilation efficiency. Our technicians service filter media, V-belts, and airflow components to prevent HVAC strain. Properly functioning systems reduce energy costs and eliminate hot, smoky kitchen conditions.
Rotobrush Duct Cleaning
Our ROTOBRUSH system thoroughly cleans return air ducts of grease contaminants. This specialized service removes allergy-causing particles and improves indoor air quality. Regular maintenance prevents system inefficiencies and extends equipment lifespan.
