NFPA 96 requires hood and duct systems to be cleaned to bare metal — meaning all grease, residue, and flammable buildup must be fully removed. Partial cleaning or surface wiping doesn’t meet the standard and can leave your kitchen at risk.
You’ll need:
- Proof of professional cleaning
- Photo documentation of each cleaning
- A service certificate posted visibly in the kitchen
- Cleanings done at the frequency required by NFPA 96 (monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Elite Pressure Pros provides all of this — every single time.
NFPA 96 requires access panels every 12 feet and at turns or changes in direction so that the entire duct system can be cleaned.
If your system lacks proper access, we’ll assess and can recommend an installer so your kitchen stays compliant.
Yes — under NFPA 96, rooftop fan systems must include grease containment to prevent flammable grease from dripping onto the roof surface.
We inspect containment systems during every service and can recommend upgrades if yours is outdated or missing.
A compliant cleaning under NFPA 96 includes:
- The hood canopy
- Filters
- Plenums
- All accessible ductwork
- The fan
- Photo documentation + certification.
A basic “hood wash” often skips ductwork and fans, which leaves your kitchen non-compliant and exposed to risk.
After each cleaning, you should have:
- A dated cleaning certificate posted near the system
- Before and after photos of the system
- A service report noting any deficiencies, repairs, or recommendations
