FAQ
Hood Cleaning & NFPA 96 in Fairfax County — FAQ
Do you provide county-wide service across all Fairfax County submarkets?
Yes — single-vendor county-wide coverage is one of our specialties. Restaurant groups operating in Tysons, Reston, Mosaic District (Merrifield), Eden Center (Falls Church), Annandale Korean BBQ corridor, Fair Oaks, McLean, Vienna, Springfield, Chantilly, and Centreville can use one vendor (us) with consistent documentation, predictable scheduling, and account-managed multi-location service plans.
What fire department serves Fairfax County commercial kitchens?
Fairfax County restaurants answer to Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department (FCFRD), with the Fairfax County Health Department handling food safety inspections. The City of Fairfax and the City of Falls Church operate their own separate fire marshal's offices with distinct documentation requirements.
How does Fairfax County's inspection cadence work?
FCFRD inspectors visit commercial kitchens on a risk-based schedule — typically annually, with high-volume operations like the Annandale Korean BBQ corridor and Eden Center seeing more frequent visits. Inspectors check exhaust system cleanliness (no grease deposits exceeding 1/8 inch / 3 mm), fire suppression system tags, and verify NFPA 96 documentation. Our compliance packages are designed to satisfy FCFRD reviews on the spot.
Do you handle the highest-volume submarkets like Tysons and Eden Center?
Yes. Tysons (more accounts than any other single market in our territory), Eden Center (multiple active Vietnamese restaurant accounts), and the Annandale Korean BBQ corridor are core to our Fairfax County service. We have specialized cleaning protocols for each of these high-grease-load submarkets.
Do you service multi-location restaurant groups across Fairfax County?
Yes — restaurant groups with multiple Fairfax County locations get dedicated account management, unified compliance documentation, and bundled service nights that combine submarkets (e.g., Tysons + Reston + Mosaic, or Annandale + Springfield + Falls Church) for cost efficiency.
Do you serve Fairfax County Public Schools and other institutional kitchens?
Yes. Institutional kitchens — Fairfax County Public Schools cafeterias, George Mason University food service, INOVA Fairfax Hospital cafeterias, and federal contractor corporate dining — receive institutional-grade documentation that satisfies federal, state, and county compliance audits.
How quickly can you respond to a Fairfax County kitchen emergency?
Most Fairfax County locations are 25-40 minutes from our Sterling headquarters. For true emergencies, we aim to have a technician on-site within 2 to 3 hours. Call (202) 643-8113 for 24/7 emergency dispatch.
