What Gets Cleaned

The whole exhaust system, not just the hood

Grease doesn't stop at the filters. It travels up through the plenum and ductwork and collects in the rooftop fan. A San Jose hood cleaning from AFS treats that path as one system.

Hood canopy and plenumDegreasing the visible hood and the interior plenum surfaces above the cook line.
Ductwork and access panelsScraping and washing accessible duct sections and risers, with access panels opened and checked where access is available.
Rooftop exhaust fansCleaning the fan bowl, blades, and housing, where grease buildup is often heaviest.
Grease containment and cleanupCollected grease and debris handled responsibly, and the kitchen cleaned up after the work.
Photos and a service recordBefore-and-after photos where access allows, technician notes, and a recommended next-service interval. See what the record includes.
