Most exhaust system problems don’t announce themselves — they show up as a failed San Antonio fire inspection, a belt that snaps during a Friday dinner rush, or a rooftop fan that’s been running off-balance long enough to cause real damage. Kitchen Guard catches these problems before they get there.
Because we’re based right here in San Antonio, our technicians know the local fire codes, the inspectors, and what they’re looking for. During every hood cleaning visit, we inspect the full system and flag anything that needs attention — worn belts, damaged access panels, failing fan motors, grease eating through your roof. You get a straight answer from a local crew, not a service ticket routed through a national call center.
We handle the full range of exhaust system repairs for restaurants and commercial kitchens across San Antonio, New Braunfels, Seguin, Boerne, and the surrounding Hill Country:
Access panel installation & replacement (curved and flat styles) — required by NFPA 96 for proper system access, and something San Antonio fire inspectors check every time.
Exhaust fan hinge kit installation — NFPA-required, allows fans to tilt for cleaning without disconnecting ductwork.
Fan belt inspection & replacement — upblast and utility-set fans, caught before they snap at the worst possible moment.
Fan replacement (upblast & utility-set) — full unit swaps when repair isn’t the right call.
Curb extensions & reductions — correct grease containment issues at the roofline before they become a bigger problem.
Roof damage & grease containment repairs — South Texas heat accelerates grease damage on rooftops. We fix it and stop it from coming back.
Custom repairs welcome. If something’s wrong with your system that isn’t on this list, call us — we’re local, we’re familiar with the kitchens in this area, and chances are we’ve seen it before.
