Fight Kitchen Fires, Ltd Co is the only Houston-area recognized business that educates restaurant owners and kitchen exhaust (vent hood) cleaners on local mandates.
We certify in accordance with the local standards, NFPA, IKEA requirements, and fire codes through partnerships with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), Insurance Companies and the Health departments.
Vent Hood Cleaning is a Legal Requirement
Local laws dictate that your Kitchen’s Hood Vent must be cleaned periodically in order to prevent a fire. Each city, municipality and county is different so keeping track of those laws and regulations can be time consuming; not to mention that different cities and counties use different standards so you can’t really do a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach either!
Did you know? After a kitchen fire, insurance companies investigate to make sure that hood vents were cleaned properly and in accordance with the local laws. If it wasn’t cleaned properly, it can be labeled as neglect and the kitchen owner can be denied a claim.
Between 2010-2014 there were $7 Million dollars worth of damage from Grease Hood/Duct exhaust fan fires
What Makes Fight Kitchen Fires, Ltd Co the Best Choice in the Houston Region?
We have 19 years of fire inspection and fire protection experience; we’re not talking about ‘we read it in a book’, we actually have experience as Fire Inspectors. Additionally, we train Houston Region KEC businesses in accordance with the local fire codes and insurance approved cleaning standards. Training is an ongoing endeavor for us in order to stay ahead of fire hazards.
Training Services Offered
Services include full Top-to-Bottom grease removal training service from the kitchen exhaust system. Each service should include removing grease or build up from the following components:
Hood
Duct Work
Exhaust Fan
Many customers like to save money by cleaning their own filters but if cleaning filters is your preferred thing then an additional option can be added to your service catalogue:
Filter Service
The most important thing is not just how or what you clean but the reports that come after the service. Often times many people don’t know what an After Service Report, Hood Sticker or Documentation should include and that leaves the customer exposed to an insurance claim denial.
