Straight answers for kitchen operators
Commercial hood cleaning questions, answered.
Clear information helps you plan service, prepare for inspections and know what to expect when a crew arrives.
How often should a commercial kitchen exhaust system be inspected?+
NFPA 96 inspection frequency depends on the cooking operation: solid-fuel systems are typically inspected monthly, high-volume systems quarterly, moderate-volume systems semiannually and low-volume systems annually. Your fire marshal, insurer or local authority may require a different schedule, so we help you set the right cadence for your kitchen.
What gets cleaned during a hood service?+
The goal is the full accessible exhaust path: hood surfaces, filter bank, plenum, ductwork, access panels, rooftop fan and grease containment. We protect the cooking line, clean down to bare metal where accessible, polish the hood and document the completed work.
What proof do I receive after service?+
You receive a service record that documents the work performed and flags visible deficiencies. Photo documentation can show the hood, duct access points, fan and other parts of the system that managers cannot easily inspect themselves.
Do you serve kitchens outside restaurants?+
Yes. Superior Steam works with commercial kitchens in hotels and resorts, schools, healthcare facilities, senior living communities, entertainment venues and other food-service operations across Coastal Georgia and the South Carolina Lowcountry.
What should I look for when choosing a commercial hood cleaning company?+
Look for a company that cleans the complete accessible exhaust path, protects the cooking line, documents before-and-after conditions, reports deficiencies, carries appropriate insurance and understands NFPA 96 inspection and cleaning requirements. A low price is not a substitute for verifying the ductwork, plenum and rooftop fan, not just the visible hood.
