Protect seniors and Staff with Certified Kitchen Hood Cleaning Services

In senior living facilities, where the health and safety of vulnerable populations are a top priority, every operational detail matters—especially in the kitchen. A clean, compliant, and fully functioning commercial kitchen exhaust system is not optional; it is essential for fire safety, air quality, and regulatory compliance. At Capital Steam Hood Cleaners, we provide certified kitchen hood cleaning services tailored to the specific needs of senior care centers, assisted living communities, and skilled nursing facilities across California. With over 28 years of experience, we help your facility meet NFPA 96, OSHA, and local fire code regulations, while minimizing downtime and maximizing operational safety.

Why Certified Kitchen Hood Cleaning Is Critical for Senior Care Facilities

Fire Risk Reduction in High-Stakes Environments

Cooking equipment is one of the leading causes of fires in senior living kitchens. Grease buildup inside hoods, ductwork, filters, and fan assemblies presents a significant fire hazard. Seniors are often less mobile and slower to evacuate, so fire prevention is not just a matter of compliance—it’s a life safety issue.

NFPA 96 standards mandate thorough and routine cleaning of the entire Type I kitchen exhaust system. We ensure your system is cleaned to code and document all service activity for inspections.

Regulatory Compliance: NFPA 96, OSHA, and Health Codes

Senior living facilities are subject to multiple regulatory bodies:

• NFPA 96 compliance for kitchen exhaust fire safety

• OSHA standards for worker safety in foodservice operations

• State and local fire marshal inspections

• Health department inspections

  
  

Failure to clean hoods and exhaust systems regularly can result in:

• Hefty fines

• Shutdowns or failed inspections

• Increased insurance premiums

• Legal liabilities in the event of a fire

Our certified commercial kitchen hood cleaning services help eliminate these risks and protect your facility’s operations.

Maintain Indoor Air Quality for Staff and Residents

Poorly maintained kitchen exhaust systems degrade indoor air quality by circulating grease vapor, smoke, and airborne contaminants into adjacent areas, including dining rooms and food prep stations. This is especially dangerous for seniors with respiratory conditions.

Our high-powered pressure-washing and degreasing process clears out blockages and restores optimal airflow, improving your facility’s overall HVAC performance and reducing foul odors and airborne irritants.

What’s included in Our Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning Services

We go beyond surface-level cleaning. Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive deep-cleaning service that includes:

Hood Plenum & Interior Surface Cleaning

We remove grease, soot, and residue from every interior surface of the hood system.

Exhaust Duct Cleaning

We clean the full length of horizontal and vertical ductwork leading to the rooftop fan, in accordance with NFPA 96 guidelines.

Exhaust Fan Cleaning & Hinge Kit Installation

We disassemble and degrease the upblast fan blades and motor housing. We also install hinge kits where needed to ensure code compliance and future service access.

Hood Filter Cleaning or Replacement

We clean reusable baffle filters using professional degreasing techniques or replace damaged filters with commercial-grade alternatives.

Rooftop Grease Containment Systems

Our grease containment systems prevent rooftop damage and environmental contamination by capturing grease overflow.

Access Panel Installation

If your ductwork lacks required access points, we install NFPA 96–compliant access panels to enable full system cleaning and inspection.

Digital After-Service Report & Compliance Documentation

We provide a detailed report with photos, timestamps, and service notes, which can be used to demonstrate compliance during inspections or insurance reviews.
