Ventilation Cleaning

Exhaust Hood and Vent Cleaning

We offer a complete, "bare metal" deep cleaning of your commercial kitchen exhaust system, adhering strictly to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 96.

What does it include?

  • Exhaust Hood Cleaning includes the interior and exterior of the exhaust hood, grease gutters, and baffle filters (cleaned or replaced as needed). We ensure the entire collection area is free from grease buildup.
  • Ductwork Cleaning (Plenums & Risers): Thorough scraping and cleaning of the internal exhaust ductwork (plenums and horizontal/vertical risers) to remove all combustible grease deposits. This is often the most critical area for fire prevention.
  • Exhaust Fan Servicing: Full cleaning of the rooftop or external exhaust fan, including the fan blades, housing, and shroud. We also inspect and service the fan motor, belts, and bearings for optimal operation and longevity.

Why It's Mandatory

Compliance with NFPA 96: Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations is mandatory because it is the widely adopted fire code governing commercial kitchens. Local fire codes, building codes, and insurance providers often adopt or reference NFPA 96, making adherence a non-negotiable requirement for legal and safe operation.

  • Fire Prevention
  • The fundamental purpose of NFPA 96 is to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires. Cooking produces grease-laden vapors which solidify into highly combustible fuel deposits within the hood, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan.

  • Optimal System Performance
  • A clean system runs more efficiently and is safer for employees. This provides better airflow as heavy grease restricts airflow forcing the exhaust fan to work harder, it also reduces odors, regular cleaning reduces stale grease odors that can permeate the building and surrounding area.

    Fire Suppression

    Fire Suppression System Inspection & Certification Service

    Our Fire Suppression Inspection Service is your crucial defense against kitchen fires, ensuring your automatic extinguishing system is always armed, functional, and compliant with NFPA 17A (Wet Chemical Systems) and NFPA 96 requirements. This essential service is performed by our properly trained, qualified, and certified personnel (required every six months).

    What's included?

    • Comprehensive Semi-Annual Inspection: A full system check performed every six months by certified professionals in accordance with NFPA 17A and NFPA 96.

    TSSA Field Inspections

    TSSA Field Inspections

    Our certified technicians conduct detailed TSSA field inspections to ensure your equipment and systems meet all provincial safety standards.

    Key Features & Benefits

  • Certified TSSA-Focused Inspection:
  • Conducted by qualified technicians specializing in fuel-burning appliance and ventilation safety compliance for Ontario commercial kitchens.

  • Fuel System Integrity Check:
  • We inspect all natural gas and propane lines, valves, and connections for leaks, correct pressure, and compliance with CSA-B149 fuel codes.

  • Fire Suppression Interlock Verification:
  • Ensures your automatic extinguishing system correctly shuts off all gas and electrical sources when activated — a core TSSA and NFPA 96 requirement.

  • Appliance Certification Review:
  • All fuel-burning appliances are checked for valid TSSA Field Approval or certification to ensure they are safe and legally installed.

  • Venting & Exhaust Safety:
  • Confirms that flue gas venting systems are properly integrated and exhaust harmful combustion gases safely outside the facility.

  • Mobile Food Service Compliance (Food Trucks/Trailers):
  • Annual inspection to maintain valid TSSA Field Approval and ensure mobile operations meet Ontario’s strict safety standards.

  • Detailed Documentation & Repairs:
  • We provide a full compliance report identifying any deficiencies and offer repair services to bring your systems up to code before official inspections.

    Why TSSA Compliance Matters

  • Legal Requirement in Ontario:
  • The Technical Standards and Safety Act mandates compliance for all commercial fuel-burning equipment and systems. Non-compliance can result in immediate shutdowns and fines.

  • Preventing Gas & CO Hazards:
  • Inspections prevent dangerous conditions like gas leaks and carbon monoxide buildup — two leading causes of kitchen-related emergencies.

  • Integrated Fire Safety:
  • TSSA inspections complement NFPA 96 standards by ensuring your fire suppression system and fuel shutoffs work in perfect sync during an emergency.

  • Peace of Mind for Owners & Insurers:
  • Up-to-date TSSA documentation protects your business legally and demonstrates due diligence to insurers and authorities.
