Frequently Asked Questions
Kitchen Maintenance FAQ — Arlington, VA
How quickly can you respond to an emergency at my Arlington restaurant?
Our Sterling headquarters is under 25 minutes from anywhere in Arlington. For true emergencies — fire suppression discharge, exhaust failure, or grease trap overflow — we aim to have a technician on-site within 2 hours. Call our 24/7 line at (202) 643-8113.
Do you service restaurants in Clarendon, Rosslyn, and Crystal City?
Yes. We have active accounts across all three corridors and service them regularly. Our familiarity with building management in Clarendon, the Rosslyn high-rises, and the Crystal City underground means we handle access and scheduling smoothly.
What does the Arlington County Fire Marshal look for during hood inspections?
Arlington County Fire Marshal inspections check for current NFPA 96 compliance stickers, clean hood interiors and ductwork, functional fire suppression systems, proper grease containment on the roof, and accessible documentation. We provide all required paperwork and stickers with every service.
Can you clean our Arlington kitchen without disrupting operations?
Absolutely. We schedule all Arlington cleanings during your overnight downtime — typically between midnight and 6 AM. Our crews arrive after your last service and are finished before your morning prep team clocks in.
Do you handle grease trap service for Arlington restaurants in addition to hood cleaning?
Yes. We offer full grease trap pumping, line jetting, and maintenance for Arlington restaurants. Combining hood cleaning and grease trap service in one visit saves you money and keeps both your exhaust system and your wastewater compliance on track.
What documentation do you provide after cleaning our Arlington restaurant's exhaust system?
Every service includes timestamped before-and-after photos, a detailed service report covering every component cleaned, an NFPA 96 compliance certificate, a compliance sticker for your hood, and a digital copy emailed to you and your property manager within 24 hours.

Why Your Kitchen Staff Keeps Quitting (Hint: It's Not Just the Pay)
You raised wages, offered bonuses, and still can't keep line cooks longer than a season. The real reason your kitchen staff keeps walking has nothing to do with their paycheck — and everything to do with the environment you're asking them to work in.
