Hood Cleaning
From the canopy to the entire ducting network, we clean your commercial kitchen to NFPA 96 standards.
Kitchen Guard of Louisville provides the full range of commercial kitchen exhaust system services that Louisville restaurants, hotels, schools, and food service facilities need to stay safe, compliant, and operational. Every service we perform follows NFPA 96, the national standard for commercial kitchen ventilation systems and exhaust hood cleaning frequency.
Our four core services are designed to work together — covering every stage of keeping your exhaust system clean, functional, and code-compliant throughout the year.
Full exhaust system cleaning covering the hood interior, plenum, grease troughs, complete duct run, and exhaust fan. We use hot water pressure equipment, chemical degreasers, and mechanical duct tools to clean every component — not just visible surfaces. Signed NFPA 96 documentation and before-and-after photos provided on every visit. Learn more about our Louisville hood cleaning service.
Scheduled grease filter exchange programs for Louisville restaurants running high-volume equipment. NFPA 96 requires filters to stay clean between full cleanings — our filter programs run monthly or bi-monthly so your system never falls out of compliance between scheduled deep cleans. Learn more about our filter exchange program.
Commercial pressure washing for kitchen floors, dumpster pads, exterior concrete, and loading dock areas. EPA-compliant wastewater recovery included. Scheduled as a standalone service or paired with hood cleaning visits. Learn more about our restaurant pressure washing service.
Belt replacement, motor servicing, access panel installation, hinge kit fitting, and curb extensions for NFPA 96 compliance. We document any mechanical issues found during hood cleaning visits and can address them on the same or a follow-up visit. Learn more about our exhaust fan repair service.
We work with full-service restaurants, fast-casual operations, hotel kitchens, school and university cafeterias, nursing home and hospital food service, brewery and distillery kitchens, ghost kitchen facilities, and corporate dining throughout Louisville and Jefferson County — plus Elizabethtown, Shepherdsville, Prospect, and Jeffersonville, Indiana.
