Southeastern Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

Hood Cleaning Services for commercial Kitchens

Alabama’s Trusted Hood Cleaning Experts

Putting everything back after a cleaning job

We thoroughly clean your kitchen hoods, ducts, and filters to meet NFPA 96 fire code standards, using high-temperature dry steam to remove grease buildup and reduce fire risk.

We clean and degrease your baffle or mesh filters using safe, effective methods — and we offer filter replacement services when cleaning is no longer effective.

After each service, we provide a compliance sticker and a detailed report submitted directly to the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction), so you’re always ready for inspections

commercial pressure cleaning

We remove stubborn grease, grime, and buildup from sidewalks, dumpster pads, kitchen floors, and entryways to keep your commercial property looking clean and professional.

Our rooftop grease containment systems prevent overflow and protect your roof from corrosion and fire hazards. All systems are installed and serviced to maintain code compliance.

We offer pressure washing for your building exteriors, vents, and surrounding areas, helping your restaurant or facility maintain a clean appearance and safer environment.

Roof grease trap that is dirty

We repair damaged or failing exhaust fans and offer motor replacements, belt changes, and hinge kit installations to extend the life of your kitchen ventilation system.

Our team cleans and sanitizes kitchen floors, appliances, and prep areas, removing built-up grease and helping you pass health inspections with confidence.

We provide recurring cleaning schedules tailored to your business hours and compliance needs, ensuring your facility remains spotless, safe, and inspection-ready year-round.

grease cleanout on rooftop

Grease overflow from kitchen exhaust fans can severely damage rooftops and pose a major fire hazard. We provide thorough rooftop grease cleaning services to remove buildup from containment units, roof surfaces, and surrounding areas using eco-safe degreasers and high-powered cleaning tools.

We offer recurring rooftop grease containment cleaning plans, which include pad replacement, trap cleaning, and runoff control. Regular maintenance helps you stay compliant with NFPA 96 and prolongs the life of your rooftop structure.

Many insurance companies and fire marshals now require proof of rooftop grease containment cleaning. After each service, we provide documentation, before-and-after photos, and AHJ-ready reports to verify your system is clean and code-compliant.

We provide full-service degreasing and sanitization of kitchen appliances, prep tables, floors, walls, and hard-to-reach areas. Our team uses commercial-grade, food-safe products to eliminate grease and bacteria buildup.

Greasy floors are a safety hazard. Our experts remove tough buildup from tile, concrete, epoxy, and grout, then apply antimicrobial disinfectants to promote a safe, clean workspace for staff and inspectors alike.
