Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Plainfield
Whether you are building out a new restaurant in Plainfield, 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.
Grease dripping from the hood or roof fan
Drips at the canopy and grease around the roof fan mean the system is overloaded. A full cleaning to bare metal is the first step.
Commercial Hood Cleaning →Hood or duct written up by the fire marshal
If the fire department flagged the hood or duct, we sort out which items need construction and which need cleaning.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →New kitchen needs a grease trap or interceptor
A new kitchen's drains need the right grease trap before inspection. We plan its size and location with your layout.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →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 →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 Hood 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 →Hood cleaning sticker expired
If the date on the hood is past due, we can usually schedule an overnight cleaning and get you documented.

Commercial Kitchen Projects questions from Plainfield businesses
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.
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.

No. A licensed fire suppression contractor installs and services it; we coordinate the hood work with them.
