Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about professional hood cleaning, compliance, and scheduling.
According to NFPA 96, cleaning frequency depends on the volume and type of cooking. High-volume operations such as 24-hour restaurants or solid fuel cooking should be cleaned monthly. Moderate-volume kitchens typically require quarterly cleaning, while low-volume operations may only need annual service. CKE will assess your kitchen and recommend the right schedule to keep you compliant.
NFPA 96 is the National Fire Protection Association's standard for commercial cooking operations. It establishes the minimum fire safety requirements for the design, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of all commercial kitchen exhaust systems. Non-compliance can result in failed health and fire inspections, voided insurance coverage, and significant fire liability. Our services are fully aligned with NFPA 96 and we provide documentation to prove it.
Our process includes a full inspection of the hood, filters, grease traps, ductwork, exhaust fan, and rooftop plenum. We use high-pressure steam cleaning to break down and remove all grease buildup, then clean all surfaces to a safe, compliant condition. Before and after photos are taken throughout the job. You receive a complete photographic report at the end of each visit for your records and inspection readiness.
Yes. After every service visit, we provide a detailed photographic inspection report documenting the condition of your system before and after cleaning. This report is formatted to satisfy the requirements of fire marshals, health inspectors, and insurance providers — and it's yours to keep on file.
Yes — we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Many of our clients prefer after-hours scheduling to avoid disrupting their kitchen operations during service hours. Call us at 845-263-0769 for emergency service or to schedule outside of regular hours.
