Certified Hood Cleaning & Fire Protection

Benchmark Fire & Safety was founded after years inside restaurant kitchens watching hood cleaning get treated like a commodity: a quick spray, a sticker on the hood, and no proof of what was actually done. We built the company around the opposite. We clean to NFPA 96 standards, document every component we touch, and hand you the evidence.

Cleaning and Fire Prevention Scope: Full-system cleaning Hoods, filters, horizontal and vertical ductwork, and rooftop exhaust fans, cleaned to bare metal wherever accessible using hot-water pressure washing and food-service-safe degreasers.

Inspection-ready documentation A Job Service Report with a component-by-component coverage map, before-and-after photos, and grease depth readings. Nothing hidden behind a sticker.
