Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Glendale Heights
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 Glendale Heights we install hoods, clean kitchen exhaust and install and service grease traps for restaurants, cafes, bakeries and school, church and daycare kitchens.
New kitchen needs a grease trap or interceptor
Plan review for a new food establishment usually requires grease treatment. We size the trap or interceptor from your fixtures and flow and install it.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →Sinks and floor drains backing up
Standing water during a rush is often grease. We check the trap first, then jet the line if needed.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →Smoke and heat filling the kitchen
Smoke rolling past the hood means it's undersized, the fan is weak or there's no makeup air. We find which and fix it.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Taking over a second-generation space
Inherited equipment can save time if it suits your menu. We assess the hood system and grease treatment against how you plan to cook.

Community kitchens are easy to forget between inspections. We set them up with the right hood and a regular cleaning schedule.

Commercial Kitchen Projects questions from Glendale Heights businesses
What does commercial kitchen work cost?
It depends on the system, the building and the condition of what's there. We give a written, itemized proposal after the site visit.

Yes. We can plan work for school breaks or days the building is quiet.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. We supply drawings, insurance paperwork and service records the building owner asks for.
Do you install the fire suppression system?
Suppression is specialist work by a licensed suppression contractor. We build the hood to suit it and schedule around their installation.
