These before photos are time-stamped and tied to your service record. We note grease accumulation depth, existing access panel locations, and any equipment that may require repair beyond routine cleaning. This documentation protects you at health inspections and insurance audits.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;border-radius:8px;padding:36px;border-left:4px solid #6fbe44;\">\n      <div style=\"color:#6fbe44;font-weight:800;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:1px;margin-bottom:10px;\">STEP 2<\/div>\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#1a3a2a;margin:0 0 14px;\">Kitchen Protection and Equipment Staging<\/h3>\n      <p style=\"color:#555;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\">We cover and protect your cooking equipment, prep surfaces, and kitchen floors before any degreasing begins. Grease and hot water will be coming down during the cleaning process. Proper staging prevents contamination of food prep areas and equipment damage. This is standard Kitchen Guard procedure on every visit, regardless of kitchen size or service time.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;border-radius:8px;padding:36px;border-left:4px solid #6fbe44;\">\n      <div style=\"color:#6fbe44;font-weight:800;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:1px;margin-bottom:10px;\">STEP 3<\/div>\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#1a3a2a;margin:0 0 14px;\">Baffle Filter Removal and Deep Cleaning<\/h3>\n      <p style=\"color:#555;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\">Baffle filters are removed individually and deep-cleaned to bare metal. Grease-saturated filters reduce airflow, increase fire risk, and force your exhaust system to work harder. Kitchen Guard cleans every filter on every service visit. We also inspect each filter for damage, warping, or gaps that could allow unfiltered grease to enter the ductwork. Damaged filters are flagged for replacement.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;border-radius:8px;padding:36px;border-left:4px solid #6fbe44;\">\n      <div style=\"color:#6fbe44;font-weight:800;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:1px;margin-bottom:10px;\">STEP 4<\/div>\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#1a3a2a;margin:0 0 14px;\">Hood Canopy and Plenum Chamber Cleaning<\/h3>\n      <p style=\"color:#555;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\">The plenum chamber behind the baffle filters is the highest-risk grease accumulation zone in the entire exhaust system. Grease in the plenum is invisible from the kitchen floor but extremely dangerous. Our technicians clean the full plenum interior, hood canopy surfaces, grease drip channels, and collection cups. Heavy plenum accumulation is the clearest sign a restaurant is overdue for service and at elevated fire risk.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;border-radius:8px;padding:36px;border-left:4px solid #6fbe44;\">\n      <div style=\"color:#6fbe44;font-weight:800;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:1px;margin-bottom:10px;\">STEP 5<\/div>\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#1a3a2a;margin:0 0 14px;\">Full Exhaust Ductwork Cleaning<\/h3>\n      <p style=\"color:#555;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\">This is where many providers cut corners and where NFPA 96 violations most commonly occur. Kitchen Guard cleans the full interior duct path from the hood collar to the rooftop discharge, including every elbow, offset, and horizontal run. We use commercial-grade hot water pressure washing and degreasing agents. Access panels are opened and cleaned from both sides. If a kitchen lacks code-required access panels, we document the deficiency and flag it for correction.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;border-radius:8px;padding:36px;border-left:4px solid #6fbe44;\">\n      <div style=\"color:#6fbe44;font-weight:800;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:1px;margin-bottom:10px;\">STEP 6<\/div>\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#1a3a2a;margin:0 0 14px;\">Rooftop Exhaust Fan and Housing Cleaning<\/h3>\n      <p style=\"color:#555;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\">The rooftop exhaust fan is the endpoint of your exhaust system and one of the most commonly under-cleaned components. Our technicians access the rooftop, remove the fan housing cover, and degrease the fan blades, motor housing, grease collection cup, and discharge area. A grease-coated exhaust fan runs hot, wears faster, and presents a fire hazard on your rooftop. We also inspect fan belts, bearings, and hinged access kits for wear.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;border-radius:8px;padding:36px;border-left:4px solid #6fbe44;\">\n      <div style=\"color:#6fbe44;font-weight:800;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:1px;margin-bottom:10px;\">STEP 7<\/div>\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#1a3a2a;margin:0 0 14px;\">Grease Containment System Inspection<\/h3>\n      <p style=\"color:#555;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\">Rooftop grease containment systems prevent grease runoff from contaminating your building&#8217;s roof membrane and drains. Kitchen Guard inspects and cleans grease containment components and flags failing, missing, or non-compliant systems. In DC, Maryland, and Virginia, rooftop grease discharge can result in code violations from fire marshals and stormwater compliance agencies. Keeping these systems clean is part of full NFPA 96 compliance.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f7f7f7;border-radius:8px;padding:36px;border-left:4px solid #6fbe44;\">\n      <div style=\"color:#6fbe44;font-weight:800;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:1px;margin-bottom:10px;\">STEP 8<\/div>\n      <h3 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#1a3a2a;margin:0 0 14px;\">Post-Service Documentation and Compliance Certificate<\/h3>\n      <p style=\"color:#555;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\">After every service, Kitchen Guard delivers a signed, dated service certificate with before-and-after photos of every cleaned component.
