Restaurant Kitchen Hood Cleaning Services
Grease buildup inside hoods, ducts, and exhaust systems is a leading cause of kitchen fires. Our technicians clean your system from hood to fan to reduce fire risk and maintain compliance.
Why Restaurant Fire Protection Matters
Failing to properly maintain fire protection systems in a commercial kitchen can result in serious operational and financial consequences.
Key risks include:
- Rapid fire spread through grease-filled ventilation systems
- Failed inspections and forced closures
- Insurance claim delays or denials
- Extended downtime and revenue loss
Proper fire protection helps ensure:
- A safer working environment for staff
- Reduced liability and insurance risk
- Full NFPA 96 and local code compliance
- Continuous kitchen operation
Restaurant Fire Code & NFPA 96 Compliance
Restaurant fire protection is required under NFPA 96: Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations and enforced by local fire marshals.
Compliance requirements typically include:
- Scheduled hood and duct cleaning based on cooking volume
- Routine inspection of fire suppression systems
- Maintenance of exhaust fans, filters, and ductwork
- Documented service records for fire inspections
Failure to comply can result in fines, shutdowns, or increased insurance costs.
State Fire helps restaurants stay inspection-ready with certified service, documentation, and ongoing maintenance support.

Restaurant Fire Suppression FAQ
How often should restaurant hood systems be cleaned?
NFPA 96 requires cleaning based on cooking volume, typically monthly for high-volume operations, every 3 months for moderate-volume kitchens, and every 6 to 12 months for low-volume facilities. State Fire will assess your operation and recommend the right schedule.
Are commercial kitchen fire suppression systems required?
Yes. NFPA 96 and most local fire codes require commercial kitchens to have an approved automatic fire suppression system installed over cooking equipment. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so State Fire can help verify what applies to your specific location.
How often should fire suppression systems be inspected?
NFPA 17A requires monthly owner inspections and semi-annual professional servicing, plus an additional inspection any time the suppression system has been activated.
What happens if a restaurant fails a fire inspection?
Failure results in a written notice with a correction deadline. Depending on severity, consequences can escalate to fines, mandatory shutdown, or insurance claim denials.
