Over 55% of restaurant fires begin in the kitchen and result in more than $200,000,000 of property damage annually. Besides being an eye-sore, a dirty or greasy hood and duct system poses a major fire hazard to your kitchen. Fats, oils, and grease accumulate on the hood of your kitchen as you cook. This residue is extremely flammable and could cause a fire. Grease fires in particular, ignite quickly and can spread to other structures with dangerous speed.
Airways will work with you to keep the visit as short as possible, while ensuring we dedicate the appropriate time and man-power to protect your equipment while onsite and guarantee that the entire system is cleaned as mandated by code.
This cleaning includes but is not limitied to kitchen exhaust hoods, ductwork (horizontal, vertical, and riser,) filters, fans, and pollution control units.
WNFPA 96 requires that your commercial kitchen’s hood and duct be cleaned down to bare-metal on a recurring basis. Airways Fire Prevention’s multi-service approach to cleaning ensures your kitchen hoods and ducts meet all local fire codes and the local AHJ (Authority Holding Jurisdiction) regulations. By following the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association best practices (IKECA) combined with our state-of-the-art digital job processing platform, we photo document our work and note site findings for you so that you can have a substantive file for insurance purposes and fire department inspectors if necessary.
WA Pollution Control Unit (PCU) such as an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) or Air Pollution Control Unit (APU) is responsible for filtering out harmful contaminants and ensuring that the exhaust released into the environment meets regulatory standards. A poorly cleaned PCU/ ESP can lead to buildup of grease and other contaminants that allow cooking odors to escape. This can impact the performance of your kitchen exhaust system and potentially cause a fire hazard and possible EPA violations. Airways’manufacturer trained and certified techniciansare equipped with the knowledge and expertise to not only properly clean but to maintain the various types of pollution control units such as:
