What Cecil County Kitchens Need to Know

Commercial kitchen exhaust systems fall under NFPA 96, the national standard for ventilation and fire protection in cooking operations. Cecil County sits in Maryland’s northeast corner along the Delaware and Pennsylvania lines, with Elkton, North East, and Perryville anchoring a mix of highway dining and small-town restaurants.

Inspection authority can vary between municipalities, which is why we leave every kitchen with a signed, dated service report you can hand to a fire marshal, health inspector, or insurer.

We’ve served kitchens in Perryville, Rising Sun, and Chesapeake City, and our Claymont office is a short drive away. Every job ends with a signed service report in your hands.

⭐ Flagship Service
Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning

The Complete System, Hood to Rooftop

Every visit covers the entire exhaust system, not just what’s visible from the kitchen floor. A hood-only clean leaves grease in the plenum, duct, and fan, which is both a fire hazard and a common reason systems fail inspection.

After every service you receive a signed service report documenting what was cleaned and when, your compliance record for inspectors and insurers.

  • Hood interior and exterior degreased to bare metal
  • Plenum (grease intercept chamber) cleaned out
  • Full duct run brushed and cleaned, not just wiped at access points
  • Exhaust fan disassembled, degreased, cleaned, and reset
  • Baffle filters deep-soaked or replaced
