Austin Hood Cleaning has been serving the greater Lost Creek area for many years. We have trained and skilled professionals who have not only been doing hood cleaning for Lost Creek restaurants, yet we have cleaned hoods in institutions, special event centers, helped living residences, healthcare facilities, hotels – well practically about any place that has a commercial kitchen in Lost Creek.
When it comes to training our Lost Creek professionals, we follow the NFPA Code 96 for Hood Cleaning in Lost Creek adopt, thus they are vital to obey. The standards are in place to avoid electrical, fire, and other hazards which could lead to a huge economic loss. We believe it is important to prevent property damage, injury and even death by making sure all professionals are thoroughly trained before they are able to go out into the field to perform perfect hood cleaning.
The codes also specify how frequently a Lost Creek restaurant kitchen’s hood cleaning should be done. Contaminants and grease can build up in the hood if it is not cleaned by a professional on a regular basis, causing grease to leak onto the roof. This creates a serious fire hazard because the smallest spark could set the grease on fire. We’ve seen this happen before, (fortunately, not in Lost Creek), and the building damage may cause the facility to close. Another reason to hire a professional hood cleaner is for the sake of insurance. If a fire occurs and the owner/manager cannot prove that their hood has been thoroughly cleaned, the damage may not be covered.
At Austin Hood Cleaning we believe it is critical to remove grease not only in the ducts, but also in the fans, turbines, and any other areas where grease has accumulated. We polish the hood once the grease is removed to give it that “like new” appearance. Lost Creek Insurance companies will be able to see that the hood was thoroughly cleaned because our specialists will place a dated sticker on it.
The health department and the Lost Creek Fire Marshal are increasingly requesting that restaurant kitchens have their hoods professionally cleaned in Lost Creek. Over sixty percent of the fires reported were thought to be caused by contaminates and grease buildup. We’ve received numerous calls from panicked restaurant managers asking with us to clean their hood as soon as possible since they fear going shut down if it isn’t done within a specified amount of time.
Many commercial kitchen managers in Lost Creek are unsure how often they should have their hoods cleaned by a professional. The National Fire Protection Association makes the following recommendations:
If a restaurant kitchen is using solid fuels like charcoal, coal, wood or wood pellets, the hood should be cleaned once a month.
If a restaurant kitchen is open twenty-four hours a day, wok cooking or charbroiling (especially hamburger places), the hood should be cleaned once every three months.
There are many kitchens that see moderate use so they may need only have a professional hood cleaning done twice a year.
They recommend annually if the kitchen does a low volume of cooking. Places like these are typically senior centers, churches, day camps and seasonal businesses.
Our team of hood cleaning pros that serves Lost Creek will check the system and, if necessary, make repair recommendations. They’ll also determine how often the exhaust system needs to be cleaned and include that information on the sticker. This is advantageous to the restaurant manager because it keeps the health department and fire department at bay, as well as the insurance company satisfied.
You will be greeted professionally when you call Austin Hood Cleaning. Because every restaurant kitchen is set up differently, it is often impossible for us to offer you a price over the phone. We may need to have one of our professionals come out to see how much buildup has accumulated since the last hood cleaning, depending on when you had the hood professionally cleaned. Also, the size of the hood comes into play and also the accumulation that may be on the roof.
Many times, when we arrived to offer an estimate, we discovered that the previous Lost Creek hood cleaners had failed to remove the grease that had spilled over onto the roof. We had to use shovels to remove the pounds of grease from the roof. This is quite dangerous since it can seriously damage the roof, requiring roof replacement. Also, if it rains or snow melts, the grease will mix with the water and wash down the building’s side into the storm drains. This could result in an environmental hazard, and the restaurant owner/manager will be held responsible. Fines and clean-up can be pretty costly.
Many Lost Creek restaurant kitchens we speak with rely on their employees to keep the hood clean. Because they are not professionally trained, they may not be aware of all the areas that need to be cleaned. It’s also crucial to properly dispose of the grease. Please take a peek at our About Us page before calling us for further information.
Our professionals will take before and after digital images for your records when you contract us. We’ll also put a sticker on the hood with our name on it and the date it was cleaned. As a result, many commercial kitchen owners/managers have noticed a reduction in their insurance premiums. It’ll also come in handy if a Lost Creek Fire Inspector or a Health Inspector shows up for one of their “surprise” visits.

If you’re not familiar with the importance of exhaust fan hinges, here’s a quick rundown. Exhaust fans must be installed in such a way that they can ventilate smoke and fumes from cooking appliances. This is usually done by installing an upblast or side-wall mounted hood fan above the cooking surface. The most used type of hinge used to attach these types of fans is called a “swing out” hinge. These hinged devices allow for easy access to clean and maintenance of the unit while also allowing it to swing open when necessary for ventilation purposes.
