March 19, 2026 · Eagle Hood Cleaning
Every gram of grease that leaves a kitchen passes through one component: the rooftop exhaust fan. It is the hardest-working and hardest-loaded part of the system, and the part whose condition decides how the whole system performs.
The fan is tipped back on its hinges, and the housing, blades and curb are scraped and degreased; the discharge area is cleaned and the containment checked. Then the fan is run-tested — because a clean fan that does not draw is a finding, not a finish.
Fans that cannot tip cannot be cleaned properly — full stop. If your fan is bolted flat, fitting a hinge kit is the one-time repair every future cleaning depends on, and our duct and fan service treats it as part of the job rather than a surprise.
Across DC, Maryland and Virginia, the pattern repeats: kitchens discover their fan's condition at the first professional visit, fix it once, and never think about it again — because from then on, it is photographed at every visit.
The free inspection settles it with photographs: your system's real condition, a written scope, and the NFPA 96 frequency for your kitchen. Call (855) 811-3088 or request it online.
