What St. Mary’s County Kitchens Need to Know
Commercial kitchen exhaust systems fall under NFPA 96, the national standard for ventilation and fire protection in cooking operations. St. Mary’s County is Southern Maryland’s southernmost county, with Lexington Park’s base-area dining, county-seat restaurants in Leonardtown, and waterfront kitchens along the Patuxent and Potomac.
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.
Coverage here is newer, and the same standard applies as everywhere we work: full-system cleaning and a signed service report on every job. Every job ends with a signed service report in your hands.
🏛️ Base-Area Dining
Lexington Park-area kitchens see steady volume tied to the base.
📈 Growing Coverage
St. Mary’s County is one of the newer parts of our Maryland territory.
📄 One Report, Every Inspector
A signed cleaning report supports fire, health, and insurance reviews alike.
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
Documentation Every Visit

How Often Should a St. Mary’s County Kitchen Be Cleaned?
NFPA 96 sets the minimum schedule by cooking type and volume. Your frequency is determined by what and how much you cook.
| Cooking Type | Typical Examples | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Solid fuel cooking | Wood-fired pizza, charcoal grills, BBQ | Monthly |
| High-volume cooking | 24-hour diners, fast food, hotel kitchens, charbroiling, wok cooking | Every 3 Months |
| Moderate-volume | Full-service restaurants, mid-volume bars | Every 6 Months |
| Low-volume | Day camps, seasonal businesses, senior centers | Annually |
⚠️ These are NFPA 96 minimums. If your grease load runs heavier than typical for your category, we tell you in writing before it becomes a violation.
