- You took over a locationThe previous operator's grease is your liability the day you get the keys. A documented reset starts your tenancy with a clean baseline.
- You failed an inspectionA cleaning order comes with a deadline. We remediate, photograph everything, and hand you the documentation for your follow-up.
- Years without serviceGrease hardens in layers, and layers take passes. The longer it sat, the more work it takes — but it comes off.
- Visible dripping greaseGrease dripping from filters, or staining the roof around the fan, means the system is past saturation. That's a live fire load, not a cosmetic problem.
What we degrease beyond the hood
Neglect never stays inside the canopy. By the time a system needs remediation, grease vapor has been settling on everything near the line — so we clean past the hood: filters (restored, or flagged for replacement when they're beyond saving), fan housings and the grease containment area, walls and ceiling surfaces around the cookline, and equipment exteriors that have built up a film.
If the duct run itself is loaded, we fold full exhaust system cleaning into the same job, so the whole system comes back to baseline at once instead of piece by piece.
How remediation runs
- 1
Assessment & photos
We walk and photograph the entire system first — hood, plenum, duct access, fan, surrounding surfaces — and quote from what we actually see. The starting photos become page one of your documentation.
- 2
Containment
Heavy degreasing is messy work. Equipment gets wrapped, floors covered, drains protected, and runoff captured — the buildup leaves your kitchen, it doesn't get spread around it.
- 3
Multi-pass degreasing
Hot caustic soak, hand-scraping, and repeat passes until metal shows. Layers that went on over years don't come off in one wash, and we don't stop at the first pass that looks better.
- 4
Maintenance schedule recommendation
Before we leave, you get the NFPA 96 interval that matches your cooking volume and a recommended schedule — so the system never gets back to the condition we just cleaned it out of.
After remediation: stay caught up
Remediation is the expensive way to clean a kitchen — once should be enough. After we bring the system back to bare metal, the cheap way to keep it there is routine NFPA 96 hood cleaning on the interval that matches your cooking volume. Every routine visit comes with the same sticker, photos, and written report, so your compliance file stays current from the reset onward.
