Suppression systems are inspected semi-annually under NFPA 17A. Restaurants in Inner Harbor, Fells Point, and Harbor East fall under heightened scrutiny due to dense mixed-use occupancy.

How often does my kitchen need hood cleaning?

NFPA 96 frequency depends on cooking volume. High-volume kitchens (24-hour, charbroil, wok-heavy) typically need monthly service. Standard commercial kitchens are quarterly. Lower-volume operations can run semi-annual or custom. We assess your operation on the first visit and recommend a schedule.

What does NFPA 96 compliant actually mean for cleaning?

NFPA 96 requires the entire exhaust system — hood, ducts, fan, accessible components — be cleaned to bare metal where reachable. Many cleaners only do the hood and filters. We clean the full system, document it, and provide the certificate your inspector wants to see.

Do you provide before/after photos?

Yes — every job. Photos are uploaded to your customer record and included in the cleaning certificate. If your AHJ wants documentation, we can submit it directly.

How often is hood cleaning required in Baltimore?

Frequency follows NFPA 96 based on cooking volume — Inner Harbor and Fells Point high-volume kitchens are typically monthly or bi-monthly, standard commercial kitchens quarterly, lower-volume operations semi-annual. Baltimore City Fire Marshal's Office expects the certificate posted on-site.
