What Delaware County Kitchens Need to Know

Commercial kitchen exhaust systems fall under NFPA 96, the national standard for ventilation and fire protection in cooking operations. Delaware County sits on Philadelphia’s western border, so its kitchens range from dense Upper Darby and Lansdowne storefronts to suburban Media, Newtown Square, and Springfield restaurants and the river towns around Chester.

Our office is in Claymont, just across the state line, so Delaware County is some of our closest territory. We’ve served kitchens in Media, Upper Darby, Havertown, Chester, and Essington.

Inspection authority can vary between municipalities, which is why we leave every kitchen with a signed, dated service report. Every job ends with a signed service report in your hands.

🏠 Close to Home

Our Claymont office is minutes from the Delaware County line.

🏘️ Mixed Building Types

Dense storefronts, suburban plazas, and river-town restaurants each bring different access challenges.

📄 One Report, Every Inspector

A signed cleaning report supports fire, health, and insurance reviews alike.

⭐ 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

Required Cleaning Frequency

How Often Should a Delaware 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.

⚠️ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Delaware County Restaurant Owners Ask

Which towns in Delaware County do you serve?
Media, Upper Darby, Havertown, Drexel Hill, Chester, Springfield, Ridley Park, Swarthmore, Newtown Square, Broomall, Essington, Lansdowne, and everywhere in between.
Who inspects commercial kitchens in Delaware County?
NFPA 96 questions are typically handled by local fire marshals or municipal code officials, and food-facility inspection authority can vary by municipality. After every cleaning you receive a signed service report to show an inspector or insurer.
Is Delaware County, PA the same as the state of Delaware?
No. Delaware County is a Pennsylvania county on Philadelphia’s western border. We serve it from our Claymont, DE office, and we also serve the state of Delaware separately.
How often does my restaurant need hood cleaning?
Under NFPA 96 it depends on cooking volume and fuel type: monthly for solid-fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume operations (24-hour, charbroiling, wok), every 6 months for moderate-volume restaurants, and annually for low-volume operations.
Do you also handle grease trap cleaning?
Yes. Grease trap cleaning and FOG compliance is one of our core services, with a signed manifest after every visit.
