The First Line of Defense
Stainless steel baffle filters are the critical gatekeepers of your exhaust system. They are designed to force smoke and vaporized grease to rapidly change direction, causing the heavy oils to crash into the steel and drain safely into the grease trough.
When these baffles become overloaded and the drain holes clog, the system is instantly paralyzed. The kitchen fills with thick smoke, and the heavy grease vapors are sucked directly past the filters and straight into the vulnerable ductwork.
Chemical Immersion Therapy
Running baffle filters through a standard dishwasher merely bakes the grease onto the steel. SDI utilizes heavy-duty, caustic immersion dip-tanks. We submerge the fouled filters in boiling, high-alkaline solutions that melt away the hardened carbon and deeply sanitize the microscopic internal drainage channels before applying a high-pressure rinse.
Extraction & Swap
Immediate removal of the fouled filters to prevent cooking delays.
Boiling Chemical Submersion
Soaking the baffles in 200°F caustic vats to dissolve polymerized carbon.
High-Pressure Evacuation
Violently flushing the internal labyrinth of the baffle to clear the microscopic drain holes.
Trough & Rail Detailing
Scraping and degreasing the hood's filter rails to ensure clean seating and flawless drainage.
Tactical Execution
Neglected grease buildup within the exhaust infrastructure is the undisputed leading cause of catastrophic restaurant fires. Our Hood Filter Cleaning service explicitly bypasses standard "visual-only" inspections in favor of complete-system cleaning to the NFPA 96 fire-safe standard, with photo documentation of every section.
We operate strictly under NFPA 96, cleaning every accessible section of the ductwork to the fire-safe standard the code defines. 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.
Complete System Cleaning
We don't just clean the visible hoods. We clean the complete system, hood to rooftop fan, to the NFPA 96 fire-safe standard, with photo documentation of every section.
Photographic Evidence
Time-stamped before-and-after high-resolution photographic reports provided instantly to definitively prove system safety to local inspectors.
