Information for Facility Maintenance Specialists, building owners,and property managers.

By default it is the property manager who is responsible for the cleaning and safe operation of the hood exhaust system.

The most dangerous part of the grease exhaust system is the grease ducts which are rarely if ever seen by anyone except the grease hood exhaust cleaner. All Clean Pro Services takes pictures of every job. Those pictures are available for the client, the client’s insurance company and any other authority which has jurisdiction. The pictures of the duct work can be used in court to prove that you exercised due diligence in maintaining the system safety.

The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA)was founded by the insurance industry to help reduce losses due to fire. Most fire departments and U.S. governmental facilities adopt the NFPA 96 verbatim as the local fire code. Beginning with the NFPA 96 2008 edition hood exhaust cleaners must be properly certified.

IKECA certified technicians are familiar with and have been tested for knowledge of the NFPA 96 standard, OSHA safety standards, and the National Mechanical Code. This means they are fully qualified to recognize potential problems before they become major liabilities and/or cause extensive damage.

It is often a difference of less than a dollar per day to use a certified exhast cleaning company. As a certified company we take pictures of our work. This provides documentation that the system was properly cleaned.
