Cleaning of commercial kitchen and building exhaust systems — hoods, ducts and fans — to NFPA 96 standards for fire safety and healthy air.
A commercial exhaust system pulls heat, smoke, grease and stale air out of your kitchen, restrooms and back-of-house. When grease and grime build up inside the hood, duct and fan, two things happen: airflow collapses, and you accumulate a serious fire load. For commercial kitchens, exhaust cleaning isn’t optional — it’s a fire-code requirement.
Atlanta Air Experts cleans commercial exhaust systems — from the hood and filters through the full duct run to the rooftop fan — following NFPA 96, the national standard for commercial cooking exhaust. We remove grease to bare metal where required and document the work for your fire marshal and insurer.
We clean the canopy hood and baffle filters where grease first collects and drips.
The full horizontal and vertical duct run is scraped and cleaned — the highest fire-risk zone.
We clean the fan blades, housing and hinge kit and reset the fan for proper draw.
We protect surrounding surfaces and capture grease and wash water so nothing is left behind.
You get a service report, before/after photos, and a compliance sticker for inspectors.
We verify or add code-required access panels so the entire duct can actually be cleaned.
We inspect the hood, duct run and fan, note grease depth and access points, and confirm the NFPA 96 frequency for your operation.
Kitchen surfaces, equipment and floors are covered and a containment path is set up to the roof.
Hood, filters, ductwork and fan are scraped and cleaned with commercial degreasers — to bare metal where the code requires.
The rooftop fan is cleaned, the hinge kit serviced, and the fan reset and re-secured.
We confirm clean metal, photograph the result, and issue your NFPA 96 service report and sticker.
Fire safety and code compliance. Grease in the hood and duct is fuel. NFPA 96 requires commercial cooking exhaust to be cleaned on a set schedule, and fire marshals and insurers check for it. A documented cleaning protects your people, your property and your coverage.
Airflow, comfort and odor. A grease-choked exhaust can’t pull heat, smoke and smells out of the kitchen, making it hot, hazy and unpleasant. A clean system breathes again.
Cleaning the exhaust complements full commercial air duct cleaning for whole-building air quality. Reference: NFPA (NFPA 96).
