Kitchen exhaust and hood cleaning, commercial air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning for restaurants, schools, offices, hotels and apartment buildings in the Santa Clarita Valley, the Antelope Valley and Ventura County.
Commercial ventilation and exhaust
Grease in a kitchen exhaust system is one of the most common causes of restaurant fires, and dust in air ducts and lint in dryer vents build up the same way. MSH Development keeps these systems clean on a set schedule, so your kitchen passes inspection and your building stays safe.
Every cleaning is done after hours, with before and after photos of each hood, duct and fan, a written report, and a dated service sticker on the hood. We remind you before your next cleaning is due.
What we clean
Cleaning of the full grease exhaust system, from the hood to the rooftop fan, following the NFPA 96 fire code. Choose standard cleaning, or hand scraping plus hot-water steam cleaning for heavy grease.
Supply and return duct cleaning for offices, schools, churches and medical buildings, including dust cleanup after construction or a remodel.
Lint removal from dryer exhaust lines for apartment buildings, hotels, laundromats and senior living, where clogged vents are a known fire risk.
