We provide professional restaurant hood cleaning in Peoria, keeping your commercial kitchen exhaust system grease-free, fire-safe, and 100% compliant with NFPA 96 standards — the same code enforced by the Peoria Fire Marshal and Peoria Health Department.
From downtown Peoria restaurants to fast-food operations near Bradley University, we've cleaned hundreds of commercial hoods across Central Illinois. Our certified technicians work around your schedule — nights, early mornings, weekends.
We offer a full range of commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning services for restaurants, bars, cafeterias, food trucks, and institutional kitchens throughout Peoria and Central Illinois. Every service is performed to NFPA 96 standards with full documentation.
Our core service — thorough hand-scraping and hot water pressure washing of your hood canopy, plenum, filters, and ductwork. Grease is removed to bare metal per NFPA 96 requirements. We photograph every stage and provide a signed compliance certificate for your records and Peoria Health Department inspections.
Your rooftop exhaust fan is where grease buildup is most dangerous and most overlooked. We disassemble, degrease, and reassemble the fan housing, blades, and motor shroud. We also inspect and service the hinge kit to ensure safe roof access going forward. Proper fan cleaning drastically reduces fire risk and improves airflow.
A clogged or overflowing grease trap is a Peoria Health Department violation waiting to happen. We pump, clean, and inspect your grease interceptor and provide a service manifest for compliance documentation. We serve both indoor under-sink traps and outdoor grease interceptors for high-volume kitchens.
Baffle filters clogged with grease are a direct fire ignition hazard. We remove, pressure wash, and reinstall your existing baffle or mesh filters — or replace them with new stainless steel baffles if needed. Regular filter service between full hood cleanings keeps your system safer and reduces the burden on each quarterly clean.
Grease doesn't stop at the hood — it coats the ductwork all the way to the roof. We access, scrape, and steam-clean duct interiors on a schedule matched to your cooking volume. For high-grease kitchens like pizza shops, Chinese restaurants, and burger joints, duct cleaning may be required as frequently as quarterly under NFPA 96.
Every job includes a detailed written inspection report noting areas cleaned, deficiencies found, and recommended follow-up frequency. We provide before-and-after photos and a compliance sticker for your hood. These documents satisfy Peoria Fire Marshal and health department documentation requirements.
NFPA 96 (Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations) is the national fire code standard adopted by the City of Peoria and enforced by the Peoria Fire Marshal's office. It mandates regular professional cleaning of your exhaust hood system — the frequency depends on your cooking type. Failure to comply can result in insurance voidance, health department violations, mandatory kitchen closure, and personal liability in the event of a fire.
| Kitchen Type / Cooking Volume | Required Cleaning Frequency |
|---|---|
| High-volume cooking: 24-hour, solid fuel (wood/charcoal), wok cooking | Monthly |
| High-volume: charbroilers, pizza ovens, high-production fryers | Quarterly |
| Moderate volume: full-service restaurants, bars with kitchens | Every 6 Months |
| Low-volume: churches, day cares, seasonal operations, limited menus | Annually |
Frequency is determined by cooking type and volume, not just how often you cook. When in doubt, call us — we'll assess your kitchen and recommend the right schedule at no charge.
