When Grease Builds Up Thick Inside the Duct Exhaust Hood

Not every kitchen exhaust system looks the same when we arrive. Some carry a light film of grease, and others have thick, dark layers built up on the inside walls of the duct exhaust hood and the plenum behind the filters.

Allen’s Duct Systems handles both in the same careful order. The cookline is protected first and the grease filters come out. Degreaser goes on, the thickest grease comes off, and accessible areas are washed with hot water. Where the layers are thickest, grease is also scraped off by hand.

Removing accessible grease buildup helps support the ongoing fire-safety maintenance of a commercial kitchen exhaust system. To set up a cleaning, call Mrs. Allen at (917) 930-5887. Allen’s is a family business working across the five boroughs and Westchester.
