Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Elk Grove Village
A food-service kitchen answers to the fire department, the health department and the sewer authority, and most of what they inspect lives in two places: the exhaust hood and the grease trap. In Elk Grove Village we install hoods, clean kitchen exhaust and install and service grease traps for restaurants, cafes, bakeries and school, church and daycare kitchens.
School, church or daycare kitchen
Institutional kitchens follow the same rules, often with lighter cooking. We size hoods to the equipment and set cleaning and trap service to how often the kitchen is used.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Sinks and floor drains backing up
Backups at the prep sinks or floor drains usually trace to a full grease trap or grease-coated lines. We clean the trap and clear the drain.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →Not sure how often the exhaust should be cleaned
NFPA 96 sets cleaning frequency by cooking volume, from monthly to annually. We match the schedule to your equipment and hours.
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 →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 →Insurer or landlord wants cleaning records
If you need a cleaning history for a renewal or a lease, we give you dated reports after every visit.
Commercial Hood Cleaning →Hood cleaning sticker expired
An expired or missing sticker is an easy violation to avoid. We clean the hood, duct and fan and leave the paperwork.

Commercial Kitchen Projects questions from Elk Grove Village businesses
Can you work outside our business hours?
Most of our commercial work happens when the kitchen is closed, so you lose as little service as possible.
Who inspects restaurant kitchens in Elk Grove Village?
Several offices are involved in Elk Grove Village: building and mechanical, fire prevention, health and the FOG authority. Each looks at different parts of the kitchen.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
It depends on trap size and grease load, and local FOG rules may set a minimum. We measure at each visit and adjust.
What does commercial kitchen work cost?
Installations, cleaning and trap service are priced very differently. After we see the kitchen, you get a line-item proposal.
How often should the hood be cleaned?
It depends on your cooking: busy fryer and grill lines are cleaned often, lighter kitchens less. We recommend a schedule after seeing the system.
Do you work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
