Hood Cleaning is a critical component of any restaurant’s fire safety plan. A clean hood system keeps your food safe and prevents the fire hazards that can occur when grease accumulates in the ventilation system.
Restaurant Hood cleaning isn’t just recommended—it’s required by NFPA 96. Grease, smoke, and other flammable materials collect in your kitchen exhaust system’s ducts, fans, and hoods, creating an ideal environment for fires to ignite. A single spark can cause these flammable substances to rapidly spread, leading to dangerous situations for your staff and customers.
Regular cleaning eliminates these fire hazards and restores optimal air flow, keeping your employees and customers safe. It also reduces energy waste by preventing HVAC systems from having to work overtime to compensate for inadequate ventilation. Professional hood cleaning is also much more efficient than DIY attempts, which can be time-consuming and difficult to do properly without proper tools.
Fire Suppression Systems
A hood fire suppression system is a specialized fire protection system installed in your kitchen’s hood and ductwork above cooking equipment. It works like a sprinkler system but uses liquids, gasses, or other foam agents instead of water to extinguish fires. These agents smother flames, cool surfaces, and create a soapy layer over burning grease to prevent re-ignition. When activated by sensors or a manual pull station, these systems quickly and efficiently extinguish fires in a matter of seconds. This helps limit damage to expensive kitchen appliances and furnishings while keeping your team and customers safe.
