Denver Hood Cleaning Co cleans restaurant hoods, grease ducts and rooftop exhaust fans for commercial kitchens in the City and County of Denver. Grease that builds up in a kitchen exhaust system is a fire risk, so the goal is a clear schedule, a thorough visit and a kitchen that is ready for service again.
How often does a restaurant hood need cleaning? NFPA 96 sets inspection and cleaning intervals by cooking type. Commonly cited intervals are monthly for solid-fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume cooking such as 24-hour operations, charbroiling and woks, semi-annual for moderate-volume cooking and annual for low-volume cooking. Confirm your required interval with your fire inspector and your insurer.
What does a visit typically include? A thorough visit typically covers the hood and filters, accessible duct sections, the rooftop fan and the grease containment around it. See the kitchen exhaust cleaning overview or jump to commercial hood cleaning, rooftop exhaust fan cleaning, grease duct cleaning and scheduled cleaning plans.
Does cleaning replace a fire suppression inspection? No. Fire suppression systems are inspected as a separate service, commonly semi-annually under NFPA 96 and NFPA 17A. We can coordinate scheduling around that work, but hood cleaning and suppression inspection are different jobs.
Who enforces fire code for kitchen exhaust in Denver? Denver Fire Department (Fire Prevention) enforces the fire code the city has adopted, which references NFPA 96. Requirements change, so confirm current details with the department or your insurer.
