The "certified" hood cleaning company that had been servicing this system for many years had been performing a partial kitchen exhaust cleaning on the areas that were easily seen and completely neglecting the areas that were "out of sight, out of mind." This resulted in a grease fire that spread through the entire kitchen exhaust hood system and destroyed the fan. A second hood cleaning company was called in to clean up the mess left by the fire but told the customer that he had "inaccessible areas" that could not be cleaned.

This is when the client called Bryan Exhaust Hood Cleaning Service. The hard to reach "inaccessible" areas were found and a full cleanup was performed on the exhaust system that had the fire, as well as the other neglected systems in the facility. The result was a clean, fire-safe establishment and another satisfied customer!
As a restaurant owner or manager, it is very important that you have all areas of your exhaust systems cleaned properly to avoid heavy grease buildup. As you can see from the above example, cheap is not always the way to go when choosing your exhaust hood cleaning company. For a little bit more money, these systems could have been maintained properly, and the fire could have been avoided.
All of the exhaust hood cleaners at Bryan Exhaust Service are trained to look for these hidden areas and remove the grease buildup. If you are going to pay to have your kitchen exhaust system cleaned, you might as well have it cleaned properly and not have to worry about a fire hazard.
