Services
Hood Cleaning
We clean entire kitchen exhaust systems including canopies, ducts, and rooftop fans to NFPA 96 standards. Our commercial-grade equipment removes grease buildup that fire inspectors require. This service prevents fire hazards while ensuring compliance for restaurants and commercial kitchens.
Filter Exchange
Our customized filter exchange program maintains optimal airflow in commercial ventilation systems. We replace filters on scheduled intervals to prevent grease accumulation and maintain air quality. This proactive service extends equipment life and reduces fire risks for all major ventilation brands.
Green Steam
Using high-temperature steam technology at 275F and 4000 PSI, we dissolve grease without chemical residues. The system vacuums contaminants during cleaning for immediate area usability. This eco-friendly method meets food safety requirements while protecting kitchen equipment.
Fire Suppression
We install, inspect, and maintain fire suppression systems integrated with kitchen exhausts. Our technicians ensure compliance with insurance requirements and local fire codes. Regular maintenance prevents false activations while guaranteeing system reliability during emergencies.
Emergency Repairs
Available 24/7 with 30-minute response times, our emergency service addresses urgent issues like fan failures or excessive grease buildup. Certified technicians use specialized tools like magnetic duct scrapers to restore system functionality while minimizing kitchen downtime.
