Exhaust, Hood & Complete Ventilation System Cleaning By Kitchen Guard of Asheville
A clean kitchen is a safe kitchen, and hood cleaning is crucial to preventing fires and staying compliant. Kitchen Guard offers expert hood cleaning services that go beyond surface-level grease removal. Our certified technicians clean the entire exhaust system—including hoods, ducts, fans, and rooftop vents—so nothing is left to build up grease, block airflow, or create a hazard. We work efficiently to minimize downtime in your kitchen while maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, keeping your exhaust system safe for your staff and customers.
Hood & Duct Cleaning
We clean the entire hood canopy and ductwork down to bare metal, removing grease buildup that surface-level cleanings miss and keeping airflow unobstructed.
Rooftop Fan & Exhaust Cleaning
Our technicians clean and inspect rooftop fans and exhaust outlets, reducing fire risk at the point where grease is most likely to accumulate unnoticed.
Access Panels & Full-System Access
Where needed, we install or service access panels so every part of your system, not just what’s visible, can be properly cleaned and inspected.
Professional Cleaning That Ensures Safety and Compliance
Grease and grime build up quickly in commercial kitchens, creating serious fire hazards. Our team thoroughly removes grease from every part of your exhaust system, not just what’s visible. We follow strict cleaning protocols that reduce fire risks and ensure your kitchen meets all health and safety regulations. NFPA 96 is the standard for commercial kitchen ventilation and fire prevention, and we ensure that every cleaning meets or exceeds these guidelines. We provide before-and-after photos with every service, so you have clear documentation that proves your compliance and protects your business.
With Kitchen Guard, you don’t have to worry about complex regulations or compliance details. Our team handles everything for you, so you can focus on running your business. You can trust that we will keep your kitchen safe and compliant, reducing the risk of costly violations or shutdowns.
