Hood Vent Cleaning in Lowell, AR

Grease buildup in kitchen exhaust systems is the #1 cause of restaurant fires. Our certified technicians thoroughly clean every component — hood interior, ductwork, fans, and rooftop units — removing up to 100% of accumulated grease. We follow NFPA 96 standards and provide before-and-after documentation for your records and fire marshal.

NFPA 96 requires professional hood and exhaust cleaning at regular intervals based on your cooking volume. We ensure your entire system meets code — from hoods and filters to ducts and rooftop units. We provide detailed cleaning certificates, before/after photos, and sticker documentation that fire marshals and health inspectors want to see.

We design custom cleaning schedules based on NFPA 96 guidelines and your kitchen's specific cooking volume. High-volume operations like 24-hour restaurants and charbroilers need monthly service. Moderate-volume kitchens benefit from quarterly cleaning. Low-volume operations like churches and seasonal kitchens may only need semi-annual service. We handle scheduling so you never miss a cleaning.

Our service covers every component of your kitchen exhaust system from the cooking surface to the rooftop. We clean hood interiors and exteriors, baffle filters, horizontal and vertical ductwork, exhaust fans, grease cups, and rooftop grease containment units. Nothing gets missed — because a partial cleaning leaves your kitchen at risk.

Exhaust fans are the heart of your kitchen ventilation system. We hinge open each fan unit, clean all internal components, inspect belts for wear, lubricate bearings, and check motor operation. Properly maintained fans run more efficiently, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of your entire exhaust system.

Clogged or greasy baffle filters reduce airflow, increase fire risk, and make your kitchen hotter. We either deep-clean your existing filters in our hot tank to remove 100% of grease buildup, or replace them with brand-new commercial-grade stainless steel baffle filters. Clean filters mean better ventilation, cooler kitchens, and safer cooking environments.

We hand-scrape and degrease every surface of your stainless steel hood — interior walls, grease gutters, grease cups, and the exterior canopy. Carbon and grease deposits are fully removed to restore your hood to a clean, safe, inspection-ready condition. We also polish the exterior for a professional kitchen appearance.

Grease accumulates throughout your ductwork over time, creating a fire highway from your kitchen to your roof. We access and clean all horizontal and vertical duct sections, removing grease deposits that regular maintenance can't reach. Access panels are opened, cleaned, and resealed to ensure complete system decontamination.

Your rooftop exhaust fan works 24/7 pulling grease-laden air through your system. We hinge the fan unit, clean all blades and housing, inspect drive belts for cracks and tension, lubricate bearings, and verify proper motor operation. A well-maintained fan reduces energy costs and prevents costly breakdowns during service.

Baffle filters are your first line of defense against grease entering your exhaust system. We remove all filters, soak and scrub them in our commercial hot tank to remove 100% of grease, then reinstall. If filters are damaged or warped, we supply and install new commercial-grade stainless steel replacements sized to your hood.

Grease traps and interceptors need regular pumping and cleaning to prevent sewer backups, foul odors, and health code violations. We pump, scrape, and flush your grease trap, removing all accumulated fats, oils, and grease (FOG). We also inspect baffles and seals to ensure proper function and code compliance.

Rooftop grease containment systems catch the grease that exits your exhaust fan. We clean the containment unit, surrounding roof area, and fan housing to prevent grease overflow that can damage your roof membrane and create fire hazards. Regular rooftop cleaning extends your roof's life and keeps your system compliant.

Never worry about missing a cleaning again. We set up automatic recurring service based on your kitchen's cooking volume and NFPA 96 requirements. You'll receive reminders before each visit, and we maintain complete cleaning records for your inspections. Most clients save 10-15% with a maintenance plan vs. one-time bookings.

Don't risk failing a fire marshal or health department inspection. We provide pre-inspection cleaning with full documentation — before/after photos, cleaning certificates, and date-of-service stickers on your hood. Our cleaning meets or exceeds NFPA 96 standards so you can face any inspection with confidence.
