How It Works
1. On-Site Assessment: We inspect your hood, duct layout, and fan configuration, evaluate grease buildup, and assess scope.
2. Schedule: We typically work off-hours (evenings or early mornings) to avoid disrupting your business.
3. Disassembly & Cleaning: Filters, fan wheels, and components are removed, soaked in professional degreaser, and power-washed.
4. Duct Cleaning: Duct cleaning equipment reaches inside the exhaust lines to remove built-up grease from interior surfaces.
5. Reassembly & Test: All components reinstalled; system tested and verified in proper working order.
6. Certification: We provide a detailed cleaning report and certificate for health inspection records.
