Restaurant Hood Cleaning
Keeping your restaurant hood clean is essential for safety, fire prevention, and code compliance. Over time, grease and residue build up inside the hood and exhaust system, creating a serious fire risk if not cleaned regularly. Depending on the size and cooking volume of your restaurant, cleaning may be required as often as once a month.
At Charlotte Hood Cleaning, we specialize in restaurant hood cleaning services for all types of commercial kitchens in Charlotte, NC. Our certified technicians remove grease from every component of your system, ensuring your kitchen stays safe, efficient, and inspection-ready year-round.
Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning
Your
kitchen exhaust system is the backbone of your ventilation setup, helping maintain air quality and safety in your commercial kitchen. Our team provides detailed hood and duct cleaning to eliminate grease buildup, reduce fire hazards, and improve airflow efficiency.
We use industry-approved scraping and pressure-washing techniques to ensure your system is thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom. Our technicians will also help determine the ideal maintenance schedule for your operation based on cooking volume and NFPA 96 standards.
With Charlotte Hood Cleaning, your commercial kitchen hood cleaning needs are handled by experts who prioritize safety, compliance, and long-term performance.
Rooftop Grease Containment Systems
Most commercial kitchens exhaust air through the roof, where grease can accumulate and cause costly damage if not properly contained. A well-designed
rooftop grease containment system prevents overflow, protects your roof, and ensures your business stays in compliance with local fire codes.
At Charlotte Hood Cleaning, we install, clean, and maintain high-quality grease containment systems that meet safety and environmental standards. Whether you’re operating a restaurant, cafeteria, or industrial kitchen, our technicians provide customized solutions to keep your exhaust system safe and your property protected from grease damage.
Hood Filters Service
Your hood filters are the first line of defense in maintaining a safe and efficient ventilation system. Properly installed and maintained filters prevent grease, smoke, and flammable materials from entering the exhaust ducts — reducing the risk of fires and improving air quality.
At Charlotte Hood Cleaning, we provide professional hood filter cleaning and replacement services for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout Charlotte, NC. Our team ensures your filters are thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and functioning at peak performance. We can also recommend the best type and size of filters for your kitchen setup to ensure maximum airflow and long-term safety.
Exhaust Fan Hinges Installation
Exhaust fan hinges play a crucial role in the function and safety of your ventilation system. These hinges allow the fan to be lifted safely for cleaning and maintenance — a requirement under most fire safety and mechanical codes. Installing the proper hinge kit not only ensures compliance but also helps prevent damage to your exhaust fan and roof.
Our Charlotte Hood Cleaning technicians install and service commercial exhaust fan hinge kits that make cleaning easier, safer, and more efficient. We’ll assess your kitchen’s setup, recommend the right hinge assembly, and handle installation to extend the life and performance of your exhaust system.
