Hood and Duct Cleaning

Ductwork is where grease hides and where a hood fire spreads. Enviroclean Works cleans restaurant and commercial kitchen ducts end to end, installing access panels wherever the run cannot otherwise be reached.

Why duct cleaning gets skipped

It is the hardest part of the job. It means ceiling access, scraping vertical risers, and often cutting new panels. Low-bid vendors clean the visible hood and move on, which is why we frequently find quarter-inch deposits in ducts that were 'cleaned' three months earlier.

Our duct cleaning method

  • Map the run and locate or create access every 12 feet and at each change of direction
  • Contain the area, then scrape heavy deposits by hand
  • Apply degreaser and hot-water pressure wash to bare metal
  • Vacuum and collect all runoff, no grease in your drains or on the roof
  • Seal, gasket and label every access panel
  • Photograph each opening before and after

Insurance and inspection ready

Your service report notes any areas that remain inaccessible, as NFPA 96 requires, along with a recommendation to correct them. That written record is what protects you in a claim.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. We cut and install code-compliant, gasketed, labeled panels so every section of duct can be cleaned now and in the future.
How messy is duct cleaning?
The work area is fully contained with sheeting, runoff is captured and hauled away, and the kitchen is wiped down before we leave.
Can you clean ducts without shutting the kitchen?
We schedule after close or on your dark day so there is no lost service time.

Ready to schedule?

We clean after hours, document everything with photos, and leave your kitchen inspection-ready.

About Enviroclean Works

Enviroclean Works is a commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning company working across metro Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia.

We work after close so the cook line is ready for the next shift, and we schedule restaurants, schools, hospitals, hotels, food trucks, ghost kitchens and apartment amenity kitchens on the cleaning frequency their volume actually requires.
