Exhaust Fan Maintenance
Strict bare-metal exhaust fan maintenance to eliminate catastrophic grease fires and secure absolute NFPA compliance.

The Respiratory Engine
The massive rooftop upblast fan is the literal lung of your facility. It operates in an incredibly hostile environment, constantly battered by extreme torque, intense heat, and high-velocity grease impacts.
Neglected fan blades become unbalanced by uneven grease buildup, violently shaking the housing until the bearings shatter or the primary drive belt snaps. When the fan dies, the kitchen stops immediately in a cloud of blinding smoke.
High-Velocity Recalibration
SDI integrates comprehensive mechanical maintenance into our cleaning protocols. After utilizing extreme hot-water extraction to balance the heavy aluminum fan blades, our technicians precisely grease the bearings to lower friction, install heavy-duty, heat-resistant Kevlar drive belts, and recalibrate the motor tension for absolute peak draft performance.
Vibration
Stripping grease from the fan blades to ensure perfectly balanced, silent rotation.
Air Velocity
Correct belt tensioning guarantees the fan pulls the maximum CFM from the kitchen.
Prevention
Identifying and replacing frayed belts before they cause a catastrophic mid-shift failure.
Tactical Execution
Neglected grease buildup within the exhaust infrastructure is the undisputed leading cause of catastrophic restaurant fires. Our Exhaust Fan Maintenance service explicitly bypasses standard "visual-only" inspections in favor of exhaustive, bare-metal systemic restoration.
We operate strictly under NFPA-96 codes, scraping, sanitizing, and power-washing every accessible inch of the ductwork down to bare steel. We provide comprehensive photo documentation and localized compliance certification upon every single completion to immediately satisfy local fire marshals and mitigate corporate insurance liability.
Uncompromising Standards
Every inch of the facility operates correctly when structural fouling is aggressively mitigated at the molecular scale.
NFPA-96 Mastery
Strict adherence to the National Fire Protection Association codes for ventilation control and commercial fire protection.
Bare Metal Standards
We don't just clean the visible hoods. We remove all combustible grease down to the bare metal vertically through the entire ductwork.
Photographic Evidence
Time-stamped before-and-after high-resolution photographic reports provided instantly to definitively prove system safety to local inspectors.
