Professional Hood Cleaning Service Austin & San Antonio

Austin and San Antonio restaurant owners face a harsh reality: 22% of restaurant fires stem from inadequate kitchen exhaust cleaning, according to the National Fire Protection Association. When fire strikes, the consequences extend far beyond property damage.

Long-Term Consequences:

• 43% of restaurants that experience fires never reopen
• Reputation damage that persists for years
• Lost revenue during repairs and rebuilding
• Permanent loss of loyal customers and staff

Your kitchen exhaust system pulls grease-laden vapors through ductwork, creating what fire experts call “a fuel holding tank within your building’s ventilation system.” Without proper cleaning, you’re not just risking a fire, you’re creating the perfect conditions for one.

A Grease Depth Gauge Comb is the tool used by commercial kitchen exhaust system inspectors to determine the severity of grease build up in your system.  This tool measures your grease build up in Microns, from the acceptable level of build up of 50 Microns to the critical depth level of 3175 Microns.  If you kitchen exhaust system measures 3175 Microns or hire, you are at severe risk of having a restaurant fire break out and if inspected by your local Fire Marshal, will result in a “Red Tag” leaving you with 3 days to get it corrected or risk of being shut down and potential fines.
