Hood Cleaning Is Required by Law — Not Just Best Practice
NFPA 96, the Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, mandates that all commercial kitchen exhaust systems be cleaned at regular intervals by a certified contractor. In Bowling Green, the Warren County fire authority and Kentucky State Fire Marshal enforce this standard — and violations can result in fines, failed inspections, forced closures, and voided fire insurance policies.
Grease accumulation in exhaust hoods, ducts, and fans is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires. A certified cleaning removes that buildup completely — protecting your staff, your property, your license, and your customers. Every Bowling Green Hood Cleaning service call includes a full before-and-after photo report and a signed Certificate of Completion meeting NFPA 96 documentation standards.
🔥 What Happens Without Certified Cleaning
Failed health inspections · Voided commercial fire insurance · Warren County fire authority violations · Potential forced shutdown · Significantly elevated fire risk. Kentucky State Fire Marshal inspections have increased — don't wait until you receive a notice.

Complete Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Services
Every component of your exhaust system cleaned to NFPA 96 standards — from the hood face to the rooftop fan. We clean everything grease can reach across Bowling Green and Warren County.
Exhaust Hood Cleaning
Complete degreasing of hood canopy, grease filters, grease troughs, and all interior hood surfaces. We remove accumulated grease to bare metal — not a wipe-down, a full strip. Every Scottsville Road and Downtown Bowling Green restaurant deserves a properly clean hood.
Core Service
Grease Duct Cleaning
High-pressure cleaning of all duct runs from hood to rooftop — including access panel areas, elbows, and vertical sections. The duct is where most grease accumulates and where fires travel fastest.
Fire Safety Critical
Exhaust Fan Cleaning
Rooftop fan wheel, housing, and motor compartment degreased and inspected. Grease buildup on fan components reduces airflow, overloads motors, and creates an ignition point directly on your roof.
Roof Fire Prevention
Filter Cleaning & Exchange
Baffle filter cleaning and optional filter exchange program. Clean filters improve hood capture efficiency and reduce grease buildup rates in ductwork between full service visits.
Monthly Available
Compliance Inspection & Certification
Full system inspection with grease depth measurements, photo documentation, and a signed NFPA 96 Certificate of Completion. Accepted by Bowling Green fire authority, Warren County health department, and commercial insurers.
