- Why Us
Why Choose Us
Commercial Hood Cleaning
When we clean your commercial hoods, we’ll look at hoods that are over your fryers and stoves, but we’ll also look at the ones above ovens and any other cooking equipment. We can give you a bare metal clean that health and safety inspectors will be pleased to see.
Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning
Your exhaust system is made up of the hoods, filters, and ductwork that connects everything together. It can be very hard to get every part of it clean, especially if you don’t have all the right tools and industry-specific knowledge.
Grease Trap Cleaning
Grease trap cleaning is extremely important because it removes excess grease and debris that has collected in your kitchen exhaust system. The grease trap can only handle so much buildup before it becomes inefficient, so MidAtlantic Hood & Duct Cleaning can solve many problems before they happen.
Exhaust Fan and Rooftop Cleaning
The exhaust fan needs to be taken apart completely in order to completely clean it. This means disassembling it and cleaning each part, then putting it back together efficiently. Your roof can Accumulate a lot of grease because it catches the excess from the exhaust fan. Only a professional team like ours can give you these specialized services.
Commercial Oven and Fryer Cleaning
In addition to your kitchen hoods, your cooking surfaces will also need to be cleaned. We’ll efficiently clean all your cooking equipment, cutting boards, food prep areas, as well as the walls, floors, and ceilings if necessary.
Dumpster Area Cleaning
Your dumpster area is arguably the most contaminated area of your property, so getting it professionally cleaned should be a chance you jump at. MidAtlantic Hood & Duct Cleaning can offer you thorough dumpster area cleaning that removes dangerous and disgusting contaminants.
Access Panel Installation
The access panels in your kitchen exhaust system allow us to get full access to the ductwork and other interior areas of your exhaust system. You are required to have access panels in your exhaust system, but older restaurants may not be up to the most recent codes. We can check your system and install access panels if needed to get your system current.
Exhaust Fan Hinge Kit Installation
When MidAtlantic Hood & Duct Cleaning sets out to clean your exhaust fans and the ductwork connected to them, it’s much easier for us to access everything when the exhaust fans are on hinges. That way, we don’t have to remove and reattach them after every cleaning.
