Common questions, honest answers.
How often does my restaurant hood need to be cleaned?
NFPA 96 sets the frequency based on your cooking volume and type. Monthly for high-volume operations — 24-hour kitchens, charbroilers, wok cooking, solid fuel. Quarterly for moderate volume — standard restaurants doing lunch and dinner. Semi-annually for low-volume operations like churches, senior centers, day camps. Kan Do Services assesses your kitchen during the first visit and recommends the right interval. If you're not sure, we can measure grease depth in the duct and adjust from there.
What is NFPA 96 and why does it matter?
NFPA 96 is the National Fire Protection Association standard for commercial cooking operations. It's the fire code that governs exhaust system design, installation, and maintenance. Fire marshals and health inspectors use it as the compliance benchmark. Your insurance carrier references it in your policy — if you're not in compliance and there's a fire, they can deny the claim. It's not optional.
Do you provide documentation after the cleaning?
Yes. Every service includes before and after photos, a written service report with the date and scope of work, and a compliance sticker for the hood. That's what you show the fire marshal, the health inspector, and your insurance company. We email you a PDF of the report within 24 hours, and we keep a copy on file in case you need it later.
How long does a hood cleaning take?
Most standard single-hood systems take 2 to 4 hours. Larger kitchens with multiple hoods, long duct runs, or heavy grease buildup take longer — sometimes 6 hours or more. We work with the restaurant's schedule so you don't have down time in your kitchen. If it's your first cleaning in a long time, expect it to take longer.
Can you clean the hood while we're open?
No. The exhaust system has to be off, and we're using pressure washers and degreasers that create overspray and fumes. We need the kitchen closed. Most customers schedule us after close or on a day they're not open. If you're 24-hour, we work around your slowest period, but you'll need to shut down the cooking line for a few hours.
What if my system doesn't have access panels in the ductwork?
That's common in older installations. NFPA 96 requires access panels so the entire duct can be cleaned and inspected. If yours doesn't have them, we note it in the report and provide a quote to install them. Without panels, we can only clean what we can reach from the hood opening and the rooftop fan. That's not full compliance, and a fire marshal can flag it.
