Hood Cleaning FAQ

How long does it take to clean a hood system?

A typical hood system cleaning takes 3 to 5 hours. The duration depends on factors like the size and complexity of the system, accessibility of components, and the level of grease buildup. Larger or harder-to-reach systems may take longer, especially if additional services are requested. Thorough cleaning ensures safety, fire code compliance, and proper system function. Scheduling can also impact timing, with after-hours cleanings designed to minimize disruptions.

How can I be sure the entire system was serviced?

Our Stockton area technicians ensure transparency by documenting the entire cleaning process with photos of all serviced areas, including hard-to-reach ducts and fans. These images, along with a detailed report highlighting any potential deficiencies, are emailed to you after the service. This comprehensive documentation provides clear evidence of the work completed. Additionally, we uphold strict quality standards, conduct follow-up inspections when necessary, and encourage your feedback to maintain excellent service.

How often should a restaurant hood be cleaned?

You may need more frequent cleanings depending on how often you’re cooking and the type of fuel you use. For instance, Stockton area restaurants will need quarterly cleanings, while some less busy establishments, such as hospital kitchens, can opt for a more spaced-out cleaning schedule – every 6 months. Kitchens that do not build up much grease, such as senior centers, churches, and seasonal locations, can be serviced yearly. Any establishments using solid fuel (wood, charcoal) need a monthly cleaning.
