Legend Hood & Powerwashing Services – Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

The Legend Hood & Powerwashing Services is a vital part of a commercial kitchen’s operations. It removes smoke, heat, and odors while containing flammable grease particles that would otherwise spread throughout a building and cause a fire.

The hood, filters and ductwork all need regular cleaning to maintain their effectiveness in preventing fires. When they’re clogged, the system loses its ability to trap smoke, heat, and odors. It’s also a fire hazard because flamable grease accumulates within the hood, ducts, and fans.

Kitchen hood cleaning is an intricate process that requires the use of high-pressure water to degrease surfaces and ductwork. It typically takes a professional company 3 to 6 hours to clean the entire system. During the cleaning, contractors turn off cooking equipment and cover it with tarps to protect surfaces from chemicals and grease splatter. They then place plastic bags on the hood to funnel grease, chemicals and water runoff into containers for disposal.

A caustic chemical is then applied to the hood surfaces and allowed to soak for a few minutes. Technicians then scrub the surface with brushes, paying special attention to areas that have grease buildup. They also remove and soak the grease baffle filters and scrub them separately. The filters are rinsed, reinstalled and tested to make sure they work properly.

After a thorough cleaning, technicians polish the visible parts of the system, wipe down surfaces and relight the pilots. They also provide a detailed report and recommendations for future maintenance and necessary repairs.
