Common Questions

Kitchen exhaust cleaning FAQ

How often does my exhaust system need cleaning?
Inspectors reference the NFPA 96 standard: monthly for solid-fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume kitchens (24-hour, charbroiling, wok), semi-annually for moderate-volume restaurants, and annually for low-volume kitchens. We'll assess your kitchen free of charge and set the right schedule.
What does a cleaning cost?
It depends on hood length, duct run, rooftop access and how long since the last service. We quote a flat price after a free assessment — no hourly surprises, no truck fees.
Will you interrupt my kitchen's hours?
No. We deliberately schedule overnight and off-hours service so cleaning happens after close, and your line is dry, wiped down and ready before your first cook arrives.
Do I get proof of the cleaning for my inspector?
Yes — every job ends with a signed, dated NFPA 96 certificate of performance, a hood sticker, and a before/after photo report delivered within 24 hours. It's exactly what fire inspectors ask to see.
My hood looks clean — do I still need service?
A shiny canopy tells you nothing about the duct and fan, which is where most kitchen fires ignite. We measure grease depth with a gauge and show you the reading — then you decide.
Can you fix problems you find, like a seized fan or worn belt?
Yes — that's the DrHood difference. We're a mechanical contracting company (Q Techub Inc.), so fan repairs, belts, bearings, hinge kits and access panels can be handled by the same team, often on the same visit.
