Our Kitchen Hood Cleaning Services

Rooftop Cleaning

As part of our comprehensive Kitchen Hood Cleaning services, we offer professional rooftop cleaning for commercial kitchens. Over time, debris, grease, and grease-laden vapors from your kitchen’s exhaust system can accumulate on the rooftop, obstructing airflow and increasing the risk of fires. Regular rooftop cleaning is an essential component of maintaining a safe and efficient kitchen ventilation system.

Grease Removal: Grease buildup on the roof is not only a fire hazard but also affects the overall efficiency of the ventilation system. We thoroughly clean all grease deposits to prevent buildup and ensure proper airflow. This reduces the risk of ventilation failures and lowers the likelihood of fires.

Debris Clearing: Leaves, dirt, and other debris often collect on your kitchen rooftop. We remove all foreign materials that could clog your system, ensuring a clean and safe rooftop. This also helps in preventing blockages in the system and improves the longevity of your equipment.

Airflow Optimization: Proper airflow is critical for the effectiveness of your kitchen ventilation. By clearing the rooftop of any obstructions, we ensure that the exhaust system functions optimally. Our team makes sure that your system can expel heat, smoke, and grease efficiently, promoting a safer and cleaner kitchen environment.

By investing in our rooftop cleaning service, you help safeguard your commercial kitchen while maintaining the proper function of your exhaust system.

Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning

The heart of any kitchen exhaust system is the kitchen hood, which serves to capture and expel heat, smoke, and grease-laden vapors. If the hood isn’t regularly cleaned, these particles can build up, creating not only a fire hazard but also unpleasant odors and reduced airflow.

Grease and Oil Removal: We focus on removing all grease and oil buildup from your kitchen hood. These residues can harden over time, causing blockages and affecting the system’s performance. Our thorough cleaning ensures that the kitchen hood operates at peak efficiency while reducing fire risks.

Compliance Assurance: It’s essential that your kitchen hood cleaning meets NFPA 96 standards, which govern the installation, operation, and cleaning of kitchen exhaust systems. We make sure that your kitchen meets these vital fire safety standards. Our service guarantees that you stay compliant with local regulations and avoid penalties.

System Evaluation: We don’t just clean your kitchen hood; we inspect it thoroughly for potential issues. Our technicians assess the condition of your system to identify any signs of wear or malfunction. This proactive evaluation helps prevent future repairs and ensures that your kitchen is always ready for service.

With our expert Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning service, you’ll experience cleaner, safer air quality in your kitchen while complying with fire safety regulations.

Exhaust System Cleaning

Exhaust systems are critical in expelling smoke, heat, and grease from your kitchen. Over time, they can become clogged, reducing efficiency and creating a potential fire hazard. McNeil & Sons Fire Safety offers detailed Exhaust System Cleaning services to maintain the integrity of your system and keep your kitchen safe.

Duct Cleaning: Grease and other materials accumulate inside the exhaust ducts, which can increase the risk of fire and reduce ventilation effectiveness. Our expert team thoroughly cleans your ducts to remove any grease or dirt buildup. A clean duct system ensures optimal airflow and helps in preventing dangerous clogs that can obstruct the system.

Fan and Motor Cleaning: Kitchen exhaust fans and motors are responsible for expelling heat, smoke, and grease from your kitchen. Over time, grease and dust can accumulate on these components, reducing their performance and energy efficiency. We ensure that both fans and motors are thoroughly cleaned to maximize their functionality and extend their lifespan.

Comprehensive Inspection: We don’t just clean; we inspect. Our team performs a detailed check of all components in your exhaust system to ensure that everything is functioning as it should. This inspection helps to identify any potential issues early, saving you from costly repairs down the road.

A clean exhaust system is crucial for maintaining proper ventilation in your kitchen and reducing the risk of a kitchen fire. Trust our experts to provide thorough Exhaust System Cleaning that ensures the safety of your kitchen and staff.
