What we do on site
Cleaning, installation, rooftop repair, suppression inspections, and the grease that lands on the dumpster pad. Most of it can share the same after-hours window.
Bare-metal cleaning of the canopy, duct, and rooftop fan — with photos and a sticker the fire marshal will actually look at.
Type 1 and Type 2 hoods, duct, make-up air, and the permit drawings — CaptiveAire, Accurex, and Greenheck.
When the rooftop fan dies, the line fills with smoke. Belts, motors, bearings, and hinge kits — often the same visit.
Airflow that disappeared, a fan that howls, a control that will not start. We diagnose the system, not just swap a part.
Ansul and the rest of the wet-chemical family — six-month inspections, recharges, and UL 300 upgrades.
Hot water on dumpster pads, sidewalks, and drive-throughs — contained so grease does not go down a storm drain.
Send a photo of the hood, the sticker date, or the noisy fan. We will tell you if it is a cleaning, a repair, or both — before anyone rolls a truck.
