Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Bloomingdale
Whether you are building out a new restaurant in Bloomingdale, keeping a busy line open or answering a notice from the village, the work usually comes down to the hood, the exhaust duct and the grease trap. We do all three and schedule around your service hours.
Opening a new restaurant
Build-outs stall at plan review when ventilation and grease interceptors are left late. We size the hood and duct early and coordinate with the rest of the project.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Adding fryers, grills or a new cook line
A menu change that adds a fryer or charbroiler can put equipment outside the hood or past what the fan can handle. We check coverage and airflow before it goes in.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Not sure how often the exhaust should be cleaned
Busy fryer kitchens need cleaning far more often than a church kitchen. We assess your cooking and set the interval.
Commercial Hood Cleaning →Grease dripping from the hood or roof fan
When grease escapes the hood or fan, it's overdue for cleaning. We degrease the whole system and note any parts that need repair.
Commercial Hood Cleaning →Sinks and floor drains backing up
When the three-compartment sink won't drain, the trap is the first suspect. We service it and find out why it filled.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →FOG notice from the village or sanitary district
We inspect, clean or replace the trap and give you documentation that answers the notice.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →Sewer smell at the back of the kitchen
Grease left too long turns rancid. Regular cleaning and a tight lid end most odor complaints.
