Not sure how often the exhaust should be cleaned
Frequency depends on what and how much you cook. We recommend a schedule and adjust it by what we find inside the duct.

Commercial kitchen problems we take care of in Winfield
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 Winfield we install hoods, clean kitchen exhaust and install and service grease traps for restaurants, cafes, bakeries and school, church and daycare kitchens.
Taking over a second-generation space
A space that used to be a restaurant comes with an old hood and trap of unknown history. We inspect both and tell you what can be reused.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Smoke and heat filling the kitchen
A hood that doesn't capture is uncomfortable for staff and a code issue. We check hood size, fan and makeup air together.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Adding fryers, grills or a new cook line
When the cook line changes, the ventilation has to follow. We recalculate the hood, fan and makeup air and coordinate suppression changes.
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 →FOG notice from the village or sanitary district
We inspect, clean or replace the trap and give you documentation that answers the notice.
Grease Trap Installation & Cleaning →Opening a new restaurant
The opening date depends on inspections, and inspectors look hard at the hood and suppression. We design the system around your equipment list and get it through review.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Installation →Hood or duct written up by the fire marshal
Clearance to combustibles, leaking duct joints, missing access panels and outdated suppression are common write-ups. We correct the list and get it reinspected.

Commercial Kitchen Projects questions from Winfield 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 with landlords and property managers?
Yes, and we can send cleaning and trap records directly to the property manager when you ask.
Do you work on school, church and daycare kitchens?
Yes. They follow the same codes, and we size equipment and service intervals to how the kitchen is used.
Can you help if we just failed an inspection?
Yes. Send us the write-up and we'll tell you which items are construction, which are cleaning and which are grease trap work.
Do you install the fire suppression system?
No. A licensed fire suppression contractor installs and services it; we coordinate the hood work with them.
What is the Winfield building department phone number?
Permits go through Building and Safety / Community Development (Village of Winfield), phone 630-665-1767. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
