In Greenville, commercial fire inspections come through the City of Greenville Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Division — and across the Upstate, whichever department covers your address plays the same role: the authority having jurisdiction that enforces NFPA 96 in your kitchen. Exhaust findings are among the most common and most avoidable citations a restaurant gets. Here’s how to make yours a formality.
We’re a local referral service for commercial kitchens. Call or send the form and we’ll connect you with a trained, insured kitchen exhaust cleaning company serving the Greenville area — one that cleans the full system to NFPA 96 and leaves the documentation your fire inspector and insurer expect. No charge for the referral.
The sticker: its date against your tier. The file: cleaning documentation — company, dates, areas cleaned and not, technician information, signed certification. The hood and filters: visible grease, filter condition and orientation. The duct and fan: access panels, rooftop unit, grease containment. The suppression system: its own inspection tags — separate schedule, same visit; keep both current.
One folder at the manager’s station (plus a digital copy): every cleaning report in date order, the photos, the sticker history, the suppression tags. When the inspector asks, you hand it over. The standard requires the documentation itself — a clean system with missing records is still a finding.
Check your tier against the last service date; if the next cleaning falls inside the window — or the sticker’s already past it — schedule now, not after the visit. Wipe a finger inside the canopy. Look at the filters. Check the roof for grease pooling. Confirm the binder’s complete. A compliant cleaning the week before an inspection isn’t gaming anything — it’s what the schedule exists for.
An exhaust citation clears with a full compliant cleaning plus documentation, on a deadline. We’ll connect you with a company that works re-inspection timelines — bring the citation language; it tells the cleaner exactly what the inspector wants to see.
