Grease laden vapors from daily kitchen cooking operations travel into the hood, through the vent hood filters, and into duct work that leads to the exhaust fan. Grease is a fuel that can ignite with a simple spark from the kitchen cooking line and spread throughout the attic and onto the roof within seconds, causing severe damage and potential loss of life.
The owner of the exhaust system has the ultimate responsibility to ensure the exhaust system is safe. These areas are all important to provide the safest working environment, and maximize the life of your exhaust hood. Too often, we notice the duct work in a lot of restaurants are not given the necessary quality cleaning that are required to conform with NFPA '96 and local fire code safety standards.
