Exhaust system CLEANING
Using environmentally friendly cleaning practices, all accessible areas of the exhaust system are cleaned in accordance with NFPA 96.
CLEAN MATTERS
Thousands of fires occur in restaurant kitchens each year. A dirty exhaust system can quickly turn a small fire into an inferno. While hidden and often forgotten, the exhaust system is the perfect environment for fire. Heat from the appliances combines with fresh air and is pulled into it by the fan.
Accumulated grease provides all the fuel needed to propel the fire through the duct to the exhaust fan. Hood fire suppression systems are not designed to suppress fires where an excessive mount of grease build-up exists. A dirty exhaust system is a dangerous situation. A clean hood is a happy hood.
Above: After a fire in a exhaust system that hadn't been cleaned in over a year. The fire was hot enough to melt the duct nozzle for the suppression system. That's over 1,700°F. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
Right: The rooftop exhaust fan after the fire. The staff used all the extinguishers in the store and summoned the fire department, who where able to extinguish the flames. They saved the building, but the restaurant was closed until repairs could be completed.
