• Comprehensive Cleaning by Trained Experts

Our kitchen exhaust cleaning teams have received expert training through Phil Ackland and are certified with the ASTT making us Trained, Certified and Accountable.  At Mas Duct we have a strong understanding of the methods and equipment needed to complete cleanings on a variety of different styles of kitchen exhaust systems.

It is critical for restaurant owners to understand what a kitchen exhaust fire needs to start and more importantly keep burning. Fires need three main ingredients… HEAT, OXYGEN and FUEL which are known as a “FIRE TRIANGLE”.

• Heat – cooking equipment such as grill tops, deep fryers, broilers, stoves.
• Oxygen – the air within the environment
• Fuel – grease buildup in a kitchen exhaust hood and duct system

At Mas Duct we understand that when it comes to kitchen hood and exhaust systems the easiest ingredient to remove from the fire triangle is the fuel. Removing the grease by way of routine cleanings will go a long way in fire prevention for your kitchen exhaust system.

• Cutting Edge Cleaning Equipment

Kitchen grease exhaust cleaning requires very specific methods, chemicals and equipment to be done successfully. At Mas Duct our ASTT certified technicians understand that different styles of cooking and cuisines produce different types of grease. These differences will determine what types of chemicals are used, how long a job will take and what additional equipment will be needed.  We have high powered “hot water gas” pressure washers for those really stubborn projects, as well as “hot water electric” pressure washers that can be used indoors for those jobs where noise might be more of an issue.

Mas Duct has the expertise to install approved access doors in duct systems that may not be accessible. We also partner with many suppliers for items like hood filters and roof top grease containment to ensure we can assist you with any of your commercial kitchen needs.
