Professional Grease Duct Cleaning – NFPA 96 Compliant Service
With years of experience in the industry, our team is dedicated to ensuring that every kitchen we service is safe, efficient, and compliant with federal and local regulations. We know that the importance of grease duct cleaning goes beyond just aesthetics; it’s a matter of safety, health, and legal compliance.
Keeping your kitchen safe and code-compliant starts with proper grease duct cleaning. At Safeguard Fire Protection, we provide comprehensive grease duct cleaning services to commercial kitchens across Metro Vancouver. Our team follows NFPA 96 standards to ensure your kitchen exhaust system is free from hazardous grease buildup. Each cleaning is tailored to the specific needs of your kitchen, ensuring that we address all potential risks associated with grease accumulation.
Moreover, grease duct cleaning is essential not just for fire prevention, but also for maintaining indoor air quality. Built-up grease can lead to unpleasant odors and even compromise the health of your kitchen staff. Regular cleaning ensures that your kitchen operates smoothly, and keeps the environment clean and safe.
Why Grease Duct Cleaning Is Crucial
Grease accumulation in your exhaust ducts is one of the most common causes of kitchen fires. Over time, uncleaned ducts can:
This isn’t just a matter of maintenance; it’s a critical aspect of fire safety. The buildup of grease can become ignited, leading to catastrophic fire events. The following are some consequences of neglecting grease duct cleaning:
- Block proper airflow
- Reduce kitchen efficiency
- Become a fire hazard
- Lead to failed fire inspections
By scheduling regular grease duct cleaning, you not only reduce the risk of fire but also extend the lifespan of your kitchen exhaust system. This proactive approach ensures that your kitchen operates efficiently, reduces energy costs, and minimizes unexpected breakdowns.
Our certified technicians are trained not only to clean but also to inspect your systems thoroughly. They will identify potential issues and provide you with suggestions to enhance your kitchen’s safety and efficiency.

Compliance with NFPA 96 Standards
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96) mandates that grease duct cleaning should be performed regularly, depending on the volume of cooking:
Understanding these requirements is crucial for any kitchen operation. Not only does it help in safeguarding life and property, but it also enhances your establishment’s reputation for safety and compliance.
