Helps Reduce Line Jetting

Cleaning filters in-house means all the grease goes down the drain. By eliminating this practice, you significantly reduce the chance of clogged drains.

EPA Compliance

Many hood cleaners and restaurants clean filters outside, allowing grease and caustic degreasers to flow into storm drains and waterways. Our filter exchange service eliminates this illegal practice.

Safety and Worker's Compensation

Filters are hot, slippery, and heavy. Removing them from a hood system is dangerous, often requiring employees to stand on cooking equipment or ladders. Our service mitigates this risk.
