Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Tinley Park
Whether you are building out a new restaurant in Tinley Park, 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.
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 →Adding fryers, grills or a new cook line
New grease-producing equipment has to sit under a Type I hood with enough coverage and exhaust. We extend, modify or replace the hood to fit the new line.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →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 Hood Cleaning →Hood or duct written up by the fire marshal
A fire inspection notice on the exhaust system usually names specific items. We work through them on site and document the fixes.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →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 →FOG notice from the village or sanitary district
A fats, oils and grease notice usually asks for proof the trap is maintained. We service it and start a log.

Every cleaning comes with a certificate and a written report you can forward to your insurer or landlord.

Commercial Kitchen Projects questions from Tinley Park businesses
How often should the hood be cleaned?
NFPA 96 sets cleaning frequency by cooking volume, from monthly for solid-fuel cooking to annually for low-volume kitchens.
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?
New or replaced hoods need a mechanical permit and fire review; new grease traps usually need a plumbing permit. Cleaning doesn't need a permit.
