Kitchen Exhaust Inspection in McKinney, TX
A kitchen exhaust inspection in McKinney, TX is a full assessment of your hood, duct, and fan to measure grease buildup, confirm access, and determine the NFPA 96 cleaning frequency your kitchen actually requires — documented with photos.
An inspection is the right first step when you're onboarding a new kitchen, changing your cooking volume, or preparing for a fire inspection. We walk the full system, photograph grease load by zone, and deliver a written report with a recommended cleaning frequency and any access or repair issues.
An inspection assesses condition without degreasing the system, so most operators book it once to establish a compliance baseline and then move to recurring cleaning at the recommended frequency. The report is useful for lease turn-overs, insurance reviews, and proving due diligence before a scheduled fire marshal visit.
Is a kitchen exhaust inspection the same as a cleaning?
No. An inspection assesses the system and documents grease load with photos and a recommended NFPA 96 frequency, but it does not degrease the system. Most McKinney operators book an inspection once to establish a baseline, then schedule recurring cleaning at the recommended frequency.
What's included
- Full visual inspection of hood, duct, and fan
- Grease-load assessment by zone
- NFPA 96 frequency recommendation
- Written inspection report with photos
Kitchen Exhaust Inspection FAQ
What is a kitchen exhaust inspection?
It is a full assessment of your hood, ductwork, and fan to measure grease buildup, confirm access, and determine the NFPA 96 cleaning frequency your kitchen requires. You receive a written report with photos and a recommended service schedule — useful before a fire inspection or a new lease.
Is an inspection the same as a cleaning?
No. An inspection assesses the system and documents grease load without degreasing it. Many operators book an inspection first to get a compliance baseline, then schedule the full clean on the recommended frequency.
Will the inspection report satisfy a fire marshal?
The inspection report documents current condition and recommended frequency, but a fire marshal looks for proof of actual cleaning — a dated service sticker and before/after photos. We provide both after every clean.
How often should I get a kitchen exhaust inspection in McKinney?
An inspection is useful once at onboarding and any time your cooking volume changes — for example adding a fryer or switching to solid fuel. The ongoing requirement is cleaning at your NFPA 96 frequency, not repeated inspections.
