NFPA 96 Compliant

Oceanside fire inspectors are active and routine. Our certified crews meet NFPA 96 standards on every service call and deliver a signed service report the same night — so you’re never scrambling to find paperwork when an inspector walks in unannounced.

Brewery & Bar Hood Expertise

Oceanside’s booming craft brewery scene means a lot of commercial kitchen hoods over pub grills and fryers. We’re experienced with brewery kitchen layouts and the unique grease profiles that come from pub food operations.

Flexible Scheduling

Oceanside’s beach bars and pier restaurants often run late into the evening. We work early mornings and overnight so your kitchen is cleaned and ready before the next day’s service begins.

Full System Cleaning

Salt air and coastal humidity accelerate grease hardening and corrosion in Oceanside exhaust systems. We clean the complete system — filters, plenum, ductwork, and rooftop fan — and visually inspect for corrosion at every visit, giving pier-district and beach-adjacent restaurants an added layer of preventive maintenance.

Does the salt air near Oceanside’s coast affect kitchen exhaust systems?

Yes — salt air accelerates corrosion on exhaust fan housings, ductwork joints, and rooftop components. Regular cleaning lets us inspect these areas and identify early rust or buildup before it leads to equipment failure or a fire code violation. Coastal Oceanside restaurants should clean at least quarterly.

Do brewpubs and craft breweries in Oceanside need hood cleaning?

Any brewpub or brewery with a commercial kitchen — serving burgers, flatbreads, pub fries, or other grilled items — requires regular exhaust cleaning under NFPA 96. The fire code applies to any cooking that produces grease-laden vapors, regardless of the type of business. We work with Oceanside’s brewery community regularly.

How far in advance should I schedule a cleaning appointment?

We recommend booking 2–3 weeks ahead, especially if you have an upcoming fire inspection or your lease renewal requires current documentation. That said, we can often accommodate urgent requests. Call 760-743-4733 and we’ll find the earliest available slot for your Oceanside location.

Do you serve Camp Pendleton base restaurants and dining facilities?

We serve commercial kitchens in the greater Oceanside area. For base dining facilities on Camp Pendleton, access requirements vary — contact us at 760-743-4733 to discuss your specific situation and we’ll let you know what’s needed to schedule a visit.
