Areas of Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning

Apex Hoods & Vent Cleaning doesn’t take shortcuts when it comes to cleaning your kitchen hoods. We want to make your kitchen hoods cleaner like they are new. That is why we outlined the important areas of your kitchen exhaust system that we focus our cleaning.

• Top to Bottom Cleaning

Exhaust systems comprise five major elements: hoods, filters, ducts, fans and rooftop containment. We start at the top and work our way down the system.

• Wastewater containment set-up

Our professional hood cleaners will disconnect movable equipment under the hood and wheel it out of the way. Then we will typically cover the stationary equipment with plastic sheeting and canvas tarps. We will remove the grease filters and form a chute with tarps or plastic sheeting around the perimeter of the hood that leads into a 55-gal drum.

• Rooftop containment clean-up
We start the cleaning process up on the roof, first cleaning or replacing any grease pads around the exhaust fan housing and emptying and cleaning the grease containment trough or trap around the housing. While our team is up there, we will also check for grease accumulation or damage on the roof, and will check and clean or replace supply-side kitchen ventilation filters, too.

• Exhaust fan cleaning and inspection

Properly designed exhaust fan housing should be hinged to give contractors easy access to the fan and ductwork. We will clean the fan blades and housing, inspect the fan and motor, test and tighten the fan belt if necessary and grease the bearings if needed.

• Duct Cleaning

We usually clean ducts with either pressurized steam hoses or more commonly hot water pressure washers. We may also add a cleaner recommended by the manufacturer or one we make up ourselves. Our technicians will apply it with a pressurized foaming system on our trucks. For caked-on grease or tough spots such as corners or flanges, our technicians might use scrapers, stiff synthetic bristle brushes or poly scrub pads. When these are used properly, these tools do not scratch the ductwork.

• Hood Cleaning

Our technicians may use scrapers and brushes on the plenum and hood interior for stubborn grease accumulation. Otherwise, we will usually clean it with the same pressure washer system used for the ductwork. The hood’s interior and exterior stainless may be manually cleaned with a degreaser if necessary or mild detergents wiped down and dried with clean cloths. Our technicians will take special care of demand-control hoods to protect their heat and or effluent sensors during the cleaning process.

• Grease Filters

We will disassemble and pressure wash baffle filters or wash them manually; then we dry and reinstall them in the hood.

• Clean-up

Our team will collect all wastewater and grease from traps and clean and dispose of those collection containers properly. Then we return and reconnect all equipment. Our technicians will make sure to leave your kitchens as clean as or cleaner than we found them.

• Final inspection and report

After cleaning up, we will test your exhaust systems to make sure they are operating correctly and that the system is not losing pressure or leaking through the ducts anywhere. We will provide you with a written report documenting everything we performed in your exhaust system.
