March 18, 2026 Β· Eagle Hood Cleaning
Call the service by its real name: grease removal. Everything else β the compliance, the documentation, the fire safety β follows from whether the grease actually comes out of the system.
On the filters, visibly. In the plenum, less visibly. Along the duct, invisibly β condensing where the vapour cools, thickening run by run. Around the fan and across the roof at the curb. A grease cleaning that stops at the visible is a cosmetic service wearing a safety costume.
Scraping for the heavy deposits, caustic degreasing with dwell time, hot-water pressure washing to bare metal β section by section, photographed before and after at the points an inspector would open. Across Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, the method does not change, because the grease does not change.
Then it goes on a schedule, so the question is never how much grease is up there β it is only ever since the last documented 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.
