El Dorado Hills Restaurants: Are You Overdue for a Hood Clean?
El Dorado Hills has no shortage of amazing food - from upscale steak spots and wine bars to cozy cafés and quick-service kitchens. But no matter what’s on your menu, one thing’s true: your kitchen hood system needs professional cleaning. If it’s been more than three months, you could already be overdue. Here’s what restaurant owners in El Dorado Hills need to know.
Is Your Kitchen Actually Up to Code?
NFPA 96 sets the standard for grease exhaust systems nationwide - and El Dorado County inspectors are watching for:
- Visible grease
- Dirty filters
- Rooftop leaks
- Poor fan performance
- Missing documentation
If your cleaning company doesn’t hit all of those… it’s not compliant.

- Fan motors clogged with grease
