Why These Repairs Matter
A neglected exhaust system doesn’t just fail — it fails expensively. When grease builds up around fan blades, it throws the fan off balance, which wears the belt prematurely and shortens the life of the entire unit. Missing or improperly installed access panels and hinge kits aren’t just efficiency problems; they’re NFPA 96 violations that can stop a cleaning from being completed or fail you at inspection. The same grease that damages your fan clogs your exhaust filters, and roof damage from grease leaves your building exposed to leaks and costly structural repairs. Southeast Michigan makes this worse: heavy winter snow loads strain rooftop exhaust fans, and freeze-thaw cycles and road salt accelerate corrosion and roof damage. Addressing these issues early keeps your kitchen compliant, your airflow strong, and your repair bills predictable.
If your kitchen has been deemed out of compliance during an inspection, Kitchen Guard is here to help. Our team will assess your system and install the necessary components to bring you back into compliance—often providing photographic documentation for your records. Many compliance repairs need to be completed before a professional hood cleaning can take place, and we make the process seamless so your kitchen stays operational.
