| Unclear next due date | Operation-based schedule review | Fuel, volume and observed accumulation |
| Inspection approaching | Cleaning plus records preparation | Reports, labels and unresolved deficiencies |
| Grease at fan or roof | Rooftop fan and containment scope | Hinge, wiring, curb and roof condition |

Frequently asked questions
Useful answers before you request service.
How often should a Chattanooga kitchen inspect its exhaust system?+
Common planning categories include monthly for solid fuel, quarterly for high-volume and certain cooking operations, semiannual for moderate volume, and annual for low-volume or seasonal operations. Confirm the current requirement locally.
Should the rooftop fan be cleaned?+
The exhaust fan is part of the grease path. The proposal should state fan blades, housing, duct opening and roof-containment scope explicitly.
What does hood cleaning cost?+
A small accessible system may plan around $400–$750. Long or multiple ducts, heavy buildup, solid fuel and difficult access can range from $750 to $1,800+. These are not bids.
Is a cleaning sticker enough for inspection?+
No. Keep the underlying service report, photographs and deficiency follow-up tied to the correct system.
