What We Clean — Hood to Rooftop

DDAN's exhaust hood cleaning service covers every grease-bearing component of your commercial kitchen exhaust system. As the best hood cleaning company in Middle Tennessee, we clean to bare metal per NFPA 96 — not just the visible surfaces.

Every cleaning visit includes:

  • Hood canopies and plenums — where grease vapors collect and create the highest fire risk
  • Exhaust ductwork — hard-to-reach sections where grease accumulates invisibly
  • Exhaust fans and motors — grease on fan blades restricts airflow and strains motors
  • Grease filters and baffles — first line of defense against grease entering your duct system
  • Rooftop grease containment — prevents runoff from damaging your roof membrane
  • Written compliance documentation for insurance and inspection records

Your kitchen ventilation system cleaning does more than remove smoke — it protects your staff, customers, and business from fire hazards. Our kitchen exhaust cleaning services have been refined over 20 years of hands-on experience.

Hood Cleaning FAQ

How often does my commercial kitchen hood need to be cleaned?

It depends on your cooking volume and type. NFPA 96 Table 11.4 sets the standard: monthly for 24-hour or high-grease operations (charbroiling, wok cooking), quarterly for most restaurants and fast food, semi-annually for moderate-volume kitchens (churches, schools), and annually for low-volume operations. DDAN helps you determine the right schedule based on your specific kitchen.

What does NFPA 96 require for hood cleaning?

NFPA 96 requires that all grease-laden surfaces be cleaned to bare metal — hoods, plenums, ductwork, exhaust fans, and filters. The cleaning must be performed by a trained, qualified person and properly documented. DDAN provides full NFPA 96-compliant cleaning with written compliance documentation on every visit.

Do you clean overnight so we don't lose business hours?

Yes. Most of our clients schedule cleaning between 10 PM and 6 AM to avoid any disruption to their operations. We also offer early-morning, weekend, and holiday scheduling. Your kitchen stays open during its busiest hours.

What's included in the documentation report?

Every cleaning visit includes a written service report noting the condition of your system, deficiency recommendations, compliance confirmation, and a service tag placed on the hood. This thorough documentation satisfies fire marshal inspections and insurance requirements.

Do you handle emergency hood cleanings?

Yes. If you have an urgent inspection, a grease fire scare, or a compliance emergency, DDAN provides 24/7 emergency hood cleaning service. Call (615) 881-6968 and we'll prioritize your kitchen.

How much does commercial hood cleaning cost?

Hood cleaning service cost depends on system size, grease buildup level, and number of components. Small systems (1-2 hoods) typically run $350–$500, mid-size systems (2-4 hoods) $500–$850, and large multi-hood systems $850–$1,500+. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for any affordable hood cleaning service package.
