Every duct documented.
Portfolio Audit
We document every hood, duct run, fan, and rooftop unit across your locations before a single scraper touches metal.
Scheduled Mobilization
Crews deploy overnight to avoid service disruption. A 20-unit portfolio is typically completed in 9 consecutive nights.
Mechanical Cleaning
Scrapers, rotary brushes, and 3,000 PSI pressure washers strip carbonized grease to bare metal — every surface, every inch.
Compliance Documentation
Before/after photos, grease depth measurements, and NFPA 96 service reports are packaged per location — ready for your insurer.

I manage a ghost kitchen portfolio — 30 tenants, 30 exhaust systems, one landlord liability. Degrease handles the annual cycle and sends me a compliance binder I can hand straight to underwriting.
