Restaurant Hood Cleaning in Sacramento
Professional NFPA 96 certified hood cleaning for Sacramento restaurants. We clean the entire exhaust system — hood, ducts, fan, and rooftop — and provide full documentation for inspectors.
Complete Restaurant Exhaust System Cleaning
Restaurant hood cleaning isn't just about wiping down the visible parts of the hood. A proper cleaning — the kind that passes NFPA 96 inspection — requires cleaning the entire exhaust system from the cook line to the roofline.
Our crews degrease the hood interior, clean or replace filters, scrape and power-wash the ductwork, and service the exhaust fan on the roof. We also inspect and clean rooftop grease containment systems when present.
Every restaurant is different. High-volume fryer operations accumulate grease faster than baking-focused kitchens. We assess your system and recommend the appropriate cleaning frequency to keep you compliant year-round.
Warning Signs Your Restaurant Hood Needs Cleaning
What Happens During a Restaurant Hood Cleaning
1. System Assessment
We inspect the entire exhaust system — hood, ducts, fan, and rooftop — to determine the level of grease accumulation and identify any compliance issues before we start.
2. Kitchen Protection
All cooking equipment, prep surfaces, and floors beneath the hood are covered with protective plastic and drip cloths. Your kitchen stays clean during and after the job.
3. Deep Cleaning
We apply professional-grade degreasers, scrape grease deposits, and pressure-wash every component — hood interior, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan — to bare metal where required by NFPA 96.
4. Documentation
We remove all protective coverings, clean the work area, and provide a complete service report with before-and-after photos. You get the documentation needed for your next inspection.
NFPA 96 Compliance for Sacramento Restaurants
NFPA 96 Standard 96 requires that grease-laden vapors be removed from commercial cooking operations through properly maintained exhaust systems. Sacramento fire marshals enforce these requirements, and failure to comply can result in fines, closures, or increased insurance premiums.
Our cleaning frequencies align with NFPA 96 guidelines: monthly for solid fuel operations, quarterly for high-volume frying, semiannually for moderate cooking, and annually for low-volume operations.
