What to Do If Your Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Company Stops Showing Up | 3 Steps to Take

What should you do if your kitchen exhaust hood cleaning company stops showing up? Whether your vendor missed a scheduled service, stopped responding, or went out of business, taking the right next steps is critical for maintaining NFPA 96 compliance and reducing fire risk. In this video, James Taylor from Bare Metal Standard explains: ✔ How to check your current service status ✔ How to find a reputable hood cleaning company ✔ What to compare when reviewing quotes ✔ Why full-system cleaning matters ✔ How to verify the work was actually completed ✔ What should be included in a professional completion report Many restaurant owners, facility managers, and kitchen operators make the mistake of comparing price alone. The real question is whether the company is cleaning the entire kitchen exhaust system—including the hood, ductwork, and rooftop exhaust fan. A missed cleaning can create compliance issues, increase fire risk, and leave hidden grease deposits throughout the system.
