Kitchen Duct Cleaning

Our ever-changing multifaceted society has seen a significant change in the lifestyle of people. To cater to this ever growing section of population, the numbers of restaurants have increased and the corresponding volume of cooking has created an increase in  combustible grease in kitchen exhaust systems. This means, grease build-up and consequently the risk of fire is increased proportionally. 

Commercial and Industrial Kitchens use sophisticated extraction systems to vent smoke, odours and steam away from the cooking area and ensure odours do not migrate to restaurants or adjacent non-cooking areas.

These systems accumulate large amounts of grease, oil and smoke residue.  Hence, it requires regular inspection and cleaning in compliance with local and international guidelines in order to avoid the high probability of fire. This is where EPSCO steps in and cleans all types of kitchen exhaust ducts, based on American standards and guidelines NFPA#96 (National Fire Protection Association).

Method of Cleaning

Kitchen Ducts are more often than not, found to be extremely greasy and therefore require ‘Wet’ cleaning methods. We use several safe and technological advanced methods to safely clean the system.

We use several safe methods for cleaning, one of which is a rotating brush and high-pressure steam nozzle. The other method involves a technician descending in the ducts depending upon the size of the duct to manually clean the duct. It has been our experience that most duct systems have little or no access and our procedure includes installing access panels or access doors to gain access.

All ‘cleaning agents’ used by us are ‘food grade’, ‘non-inflammable’, ‘environmentally safe’ and metal friendly.

We provide comprehensive ‘After Service Report’ and ‘Before’ and ‘After’ photographs of all the areas cleaned by us.
