What's included
Why it matters
Grease accumulation in a commercial cooking exhaust system can increase fire risk and make the system harder to maintain. NFPA 96 publishes inspection intervals based on cooking type and volume; cleaning is needed when inspection finds contamination. The property owner should confirm the requirements that apply to the kitchen with the local authority, insurer, and other responsible parties.
Our process
Pre-service walkthrough
Our technician reviews your kitchen layout, equipment, and last service records before starting.
Protection and containment
We cover your equipment and floors with plastic sheeting to protect your kitchen during the cleaning process.
Degreasing and cleaning
Hot-water pressure washing and degreasing address the hood-to-fan components included in the quoted, safely accessible scope.
Fan and duct inspection
We inspect the exhaust fan, belts, and accessible ductwork for damage or blockage and flag any issues.
Final review
We review the completed scope and provide the agreed photos or dated service summary for your records.
Frequently asked questions
How often does my hood need to be cleaned?
There is no single cleaning interval for every kitchen. NFPA 96 uses monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual inspection schedules based on cooking type and volume; cleaning is needed when an inspection finds grease contamination. Confirm the rules for your property with the local authority and insurer.
Do you provide service documentation?
Photo documentation and a dated service summary can be included for your records. Ask your fire marshal, landlord, insurer, or licensing authority what they require; our service record documents the work and is not an inspection approval.
Can you service hoods after business hours?
Evening, overnight, and weekend requests are accepted. The exact service window is confirmed from crew availability, kitchen access, travel, and job scope.
What areas of North Dakota do you serve?
We accept hood-cleaning requests within approximately 50 miles of Bismarck, including Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln, New Salem, and Washburn. A travel charge or minimum job size may apply outside the immediate Bismarck-Mandan area and is discussed with the estimate.
