Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Orland Park
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 Orland Park we install hoods, clean kitchen exhaust and install and service grease traps for restaurants, cafes, bakeries and school, church and daycare kitchens.
FOG notice from the village or sanitary district
When the sewer authority flags your building for grease, the fix is a working trap and records. We provide both.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →Sewer smell at the back of the kitchen
A sour smell near the sinks often means the trap is overdue or the lid doesn't seal. We clean it and fix the seal.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →Taking over a second-generation space
Before you sign or open, we can look at the existing hood, duct, fan and grease trap and list what needs upgrading.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Opening a new restaurant
A new food establishment needs an approved hood system over grease-producing equipment and grease treatment on its drains before it can open. We plan, permit and install both.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →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 →Insurer or landlord wants cleaning records
Carriers and property managers often ask for proof of exhaust cleaning. Our reports show dates, photos and what was cleaned.

Commercial Kitchen Projects questions from Orland Park businesses
Do you work on school, church and daycare kitchens?
Yes. We can plan work for school breaks or days the building is quiet.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
Small traps in busy kitchens need frequent cleaning; large interceptors go longer. A common guide is to clean before grease and solids fill about a quarter of the trap.
Can you help if we just failed an inspection?
Bring us the inspection report. We work through the hood, exhaust and grease items and get them ready for reinspection.
Do I need permits for hood or grease trap work?
Installation work is permitted; routine cleaning and pumping isn't. We file what's required.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes, and we can send cleaning and trap records directly to the property manager when you ask.
Who inspects kitchen hoods and fire safety in Orland Park?
Orland Fire Protection District inspections and permits page (separate from Village). We schedule the inspection and have the paperwork ready.
