NFPA 96 SERVICE

Rooftop Exhaust Fan Cleaning & Grease Containment

Exhaust fan cleaning removes the grease that accumulates in your rooftop fan's blades, housing, and discharge area — the end of the grease path and one of its most neglected fire risks. VentWash degreases the fan to bare metal, checks belts, bearings, and hinges, and inspects grease containment so rooftop grease never reaches your roof membrane.

Why it matters

A grease-loaded fan is a triple hazard: it's fuel sitting above an open duct, it's a mechanical failure waiting to happen — unbalanced blades wear bearings and belts fast — and the grease it slings onto the roof dissolves roofing membrane, an expensive repair most operators discover only when the roof leaks. Florida adds its own multiplier: Gulf salt air corrodes fan housings and seizes hinges years ahead of inland equipment.

Every fan service includes a documented condition check. Worn belts, pitted housings, failing bearings, and missing hinge kits get photographed and flagged in your report before they strand your kitchen with a dead fan on a Friday night. Where containment is missing or saturated, we'll document it and recommend the right fix.

Common questions

Why is there grease all over our roof?

Your exhaust fan discharges grease-laden air, and without working containment the residue lands on the roof — where it degrades the membrane and creates a slip and fire hazard your roofer and insurer will both flag. Cleaning plus a proper containment setup stops the damage.

Do you repair fans too?

We document mechanical condition — belts, bearings, hinges, corrosion — with photos in every report, and flag anything that needs attention. That gives your maintenance vendor an exact, photographed punch list instead of a surprise failure.
