What is Commercial Kitchen Duct and Vent Cleaning Service?
Kitchen duct and vent cleaning is a specialized service that involves the thorough removal of grease, carbon deposits, and contaminants from the entire exhaust ductwork system connected to commercial kitchen hoods. This includes the interior of all duct runs, plenums, bends, access panels, and roof termination points. Unlike surface-level hood cleaning, duct cleaning addresses the hidden interior of the ventilation system — the area where grease accumulates unseen and where kitchen fires most commonly originate and spread.
What Does the Service Include?
- Cleaning the exhaust hood and filters
- Removing grease from ducts and vents
- Cleaning the exhaust fan
- Safe grease removal and disposal
- Inspecting for fire hazards and damage
- Providing a cleaning report or certification
It’s a deep clean of the entire exhaust system to keep the kitchen safe, efficient, and compliant.
The Hidden Threat of Grease Buildup — And Its Consequences
The Problem:
Grease accumulates inside kitchen ducts every time your kitchen operates. Because the interior of ductwork is invisible during daily inspections, this buildup is often ignored until it becomes a serious fire hazard. A grease fire that starts in the duct system can spread rapidly through the building — and inadequate duct cleaning is one of the most cited reasons for kitchen fire insurance claim denials.
Our Solution:
Our certified duct cleaning technicians access the full length of your exhaust ductwork system through existing and installed access points, using professional scrapers, brushes, and vacuum equipment to remove all accumulated grease. We clean from the hood collar to the roof discharge — leaving the entire system verifiably clean.
Our Commercial Duct and Vent Cleaning Process
Step 1: System Inspection & Access Point Review
We inspect the full duct layout, identify existing access panels, and determine where additional access is needed for complete cleaning.
Step 2: Duct Interior Degreasing
Industrial-grade degreasers are applied through access points and allowed to soften accumulated grease deposits throughout the ductwork.
Step 3: Mechanical Cleaning
Rotary brushes, scrapers, and hand tools are used to remove grease from all interior duct surfaces — straight runs, bends, and plenum chambers.
Step 4: Vacuum Extraction
High-powered vacuums extract all loosened grease and debris from the duct interior, preventing it from entering the kitchen or atmosphere.
Step 5: Roof Fan & Discharge Point Cleaning
The roof exhaust fan, fan housing, and discharge point are cleaned as part of a complete system service.
Step 6: Before & After Documentation
We photograph duct interiors before and after cleaning, providing visual proof of completed work for your insurance and compliance records.

Commercial Kitchen Duct and Vent Cleaning Service FAQs
How is duct cleaning different from hood cleaning?
Hood cleaning addresses the visible surfaces of the exhaust hood, filters, and fan. Duct cleaning goes further — cleaning the interior of all ductwork from the hood collar to the roof discharge point, where the most dangerous grease accumulation occurs.
How often should commercial kitchen ducts be cleaned?
NFPA 96 recommends frequency based on cooking volume: monthly for solid-fuel and high-volume operations, quarterly for moderate use, and semi-annually for light-use kitchens. Your cleaning company should assess your system and recommend a schedule.
How do your technicians access the inside of the ducts?
We access ducts through existing access panels and, where needed, install new UL-listed access doors to reach all areas. Access door installation is part of our service when required.
Will you take photos inside the ductwork?
Yes. We photograph the interior of ducts before and after cleaning at multiple points, providing visual documentation that your system has been properly cleaned.
: Is duct cleaning required for insurance purposes?
Yes. Most commercial kitchen insurance policies require regular duct cleaning and documentation. Failing to maintain clean ductwork can void your fire insurance coverage in the event of a claim.
: How long does a full duct cleaning take?
The time varies with the complexity of your duct system. A typical restaurant with a single hood system takes 3–6 hours. Multi-hood or multi-story systems may require a full day or multiple visits.
