What Pennsylvania Kitchens Need to Know

Commercial kitchen exhaust systems fall under NFPA 96, the national standard for ventilation and fire protection in cooking operations. In Pennsylvania it is typically enforced locally, by fire marshals and municipal code officials, so inspection practices can differ from one municipality to the next.

That means a kitchen in Philadelphia, one in Lancaster, and one in the Lehigh Valley may all be held to the same standard but inspected differently. The one constant is documentation: a signed, dated service report after every cleaning is what inspectors and insurers ask for.

We service everything from dense city rowhouse restaurants to suburban strip-mall kitchens, and every job ends with that report in your hands.

📋 Local Enforcement

Requirements and inspection practices vary by municipality. Documentation is the common thread.

💧 Philadelphia FOG Program

Philadelphia restaurants also face a separate grease trap (FOG) program run by the Water Department.

🏚️ Varied Building Types

Older rowhouses, main-street storefronts, and suburban plazas each bring different duct and roof-access challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pennsylvania Restaurant Owners Ask

Which Pennsylvania counties do you serve?
Philadelphia, Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Lancaster, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton counties.
Who enforces kitchen exhaust cleaning rules in Pennsylvania?
NFPA 96 is typically enforced locally by fire marshals and municipal code officials, so practices vary by municipality. After every cleaning you receive a signed service report to show an inspector or insurer.
How often does my restaurant need hood cleaning?
Under NFPA 96 it depends on cooking volume and fuel type: monthly for solid-fuel cooking, every 1-3 months for high-volume kitchens, every 6 months for moderate volume, annually for low-volume or seasonal operations.
Do you also handle grease trap cleaning?
Yes. It’s one of our core services, with a signed manifest after every visit.
