Looking up the stack from the
hood you can see grease in the
distance. It looks fairly clean
but when we look around the corner
we could see. I wonder if these
pictures were ever posted on
the national companies web site.
This had just been cleaned!!??
looks fairly clean, however....


Looking into stack, you can see that there is
years of grease and that is a block of wood in the duct
on the left side under all that grease!!
Looking up stack appears clean
But when we look around corner,
(this is a simple single stack oven system that
produces very little grease so we
know this is at least 10-20 years of
buildup.
I just finished inspecting several stores for a restaurant chain that is currently using a national vendor. They have been doing their locations for many years now with pictures from each cleaning job available on line. I question where the picture are actually getting taken from. As you can see, none of the horizontal ductwork has been cleaned in a very long time if ever. In fact, there is still a large block of wood buried in the grease in the duct from when the store was constructed over 20 years ago at one location. The pictures tell the story. These locations had also just been recently "cleaned" with full "pictures" of the completed job. You can see looking down the stacks what was cleaned, when you look past that in the hidden areas, WOW! Someday, these national companies are going to held accountable for their actions and the danger they put everyone in. I just hope we don't have someone injured or even killed as a result of their complete neglect and greed.
