Kitchen exhaust systems coated with grease are a leading cause of restaurant fires. Grand Natural's certified technicians clean hoods, ducts, and fans to NFPA 96 standards — with certificates for your insurance file.
Cooking grease accumulates in exhaust hoods, filters, ducts, and fans every time your kitchen operates. That buildup is highly flammable. NFPA 96 — the National Fire Protection Association's Standard for Ventilation Control — requires commercial kitchens to have exhaust systems cleaned at regular intervals based on cooking type and volume.
Failure to maintain clean exhaust systems can result in voided fire insurance policies, failed health inspections, and — most importantly — kitchen fires that cause injury and loss of property.
Monthly: High-volume cooking (24-hour operations, char broilers, woks). Quarterly: Moderate-volume restaurants. Semi-annually: Pizza ovens, low-volume kitchens. Annually: Seasonal or low-use operations. Grand Natural will assess your kitchen and recommend the appropriate frequency.
Many commercial property insurance policies require documented proof of regular hood cleaning. A fire caused by grease buildup in an uncleaned system can result in a denied claim. Grand Natural's certificates protect your coverage.
Grand Natural technicians perform a thorough cleaning of your entire exhaust system, not just the visible hood. Here's the full scope:
Health departments and fire marshals in every state have the authority to inspect commercial kitchen exhaust systems. They look for grease accumulation, cleaning certificates, and service frequency records. Grand Natural provides a dated cleaning certificate after every service that you can post in the kitchen or keep in your compliance file.
