Health inspectors. Fire marshals. Insurance companies. They all want to see one thing when they visit your kitchen: proof. If your hood cleaning isn’t NFPA 96-compliant — or you don’t have the documentation to show it — you could face fines or shutdowns. At Elite Pressure Pros, we make sure Sacramento restaurants are not only cleaned right, but fully certified every time.
What Is NFPA 96?
NFPA 96 is the national standard for ventilation control and fire protection in commercial kitchens. It outlines the required:
- Cleaning frequency
- Hood, duct, and fan service
- Grease containment
- Rooftop fan cleaning
- Documentation and compliance records
Every Sacramento kitchen that cooks with grease falls under this code — whether you’re a bar, café, food truck, or fine dining spot.
Why You Need a Cleaning Certificate
An NFPA 96 certificate proves that:
- Your system was professionally cleaned
- It meets fire code requirements
- You’re tracking cleaning frequency
- You’re ready for health or fire inspections
Without it, inspectors may assume you’ve skipped or delayed maintenance — and that can cost you big. That’s why we include certificates with every hood cleaning service.
What Our Certification Includes
After every Elite Pressure Pros service, we provide:
- A dated NFPA 96-compliant certificate
- Before and after photos
- A breakdown of what was cleaned
- Your next recommended service date
- Notes for the fire inspector or property manager
We also install a cleaning sticker right on your hood with the service date — a small touch that makes a big difference during surprise inspections.
Who Needs It?
If you operate any of the following in Sacramento, this applies to you:
- Restaurants & cafés
- Food trucks
- Commissary kitchens
- Bars & lounges
- Church, school, or nonprofit kitchens
- Any business serving hot food
You can also simplify this with our Hood Standard program — where we handle the scheduling, cleaning, and certification for you.
