What we clean and check on Plantation kitchen jobs

Hood and duct cleaning. We clean the whole kitchen exhaust system: the hood and its filters, the plenum behind them, the duct runs and the exhaust fan on your roof. Every job ends with a fresh hood sticker and before-and-after photos of the work. Hood cleaning in South Florida

Plantation fire inspections and Broward’s hood cleaning rules

The Fire & Life Safety Division, which includes the Fire Marshal, carries out the state-mandated annual fire inspections and the re-inspections that follow. You reach it through the Plantation Fire Department at 550 NW 65th Avenue.

Permits go through a different office. The city’s Department of Building Safety, at 401 NW 70 Terrace, takes plans through electronic plan review. Fire sprinkler and other fire-related permits are applied for there too, on the city’s Citizen Access portal, and Fire & Life Safety reviews plans together with the Building Department.

The Plantation Fire Department now takes fire and life safety reports online, through a system called FireModule. A notice signed by its Fire Marshal requires inspection companies to upload their reports there from June 15, 2026. Kitchen hood exhaust cleaning and kitchen hood suppression reports are on its list. Keep your own copies of the hood cleaning report and the suppression tag for the annual inspection as well. Several other South Florida fire departments use a different system, The Compliance Engine. Our Compliance Engine page lists them.

Plantation is in Broward County, and the county’s amendments to the Florida Fire Prevention Code apply in its cities and unincorporated areas alike. For hood cleaning, the amendments require:

IKECA-level training for whoever inspects the hood for grease, or training from another nationally recognized exhaust-cleaning group that the fire department accepts.
The cleaner’s training certificate, submitted to the local fire authority before the job starts.
A copy of the cleaning report, with before-and-after photos, sent to the fire authority once the work is done.

The same amendments set fire inspections at least once a year. DBPR’s food inspectors log fire-code problems too, such as cooking equipment with no hood suppression system, and the state’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants passes them to the local fire authority.

What Plantation owners ask about hood cleaning and fire inspections

Is your kitchen hood cleaning company actually based in Plantation?

Yes, our kitchen hood cleaning company is based in Plantation. Our staffed South Florida office is at 6600 NW 16th Street, Suite 11, Plantation, FL 33313, and the number is (954) 399-6161.

Will the city do a kitchen fire inspection of our space before we can open?

Yes. Before you open, Plantation’s business licensing includes a life-safety inspection of your space by Building and Fire, kitchen included. If the inspectors find a problem, you may need building permits to fix it. Have the hood cleaned and the suppression system serviced before that visit, and keep both reports on hand.

How is Plantation’s kitchen fire inspection billed?

A kitchen fire inspection is billed through the city’s adopted fire services fee schedule, which sets annual, semi-annual and interim inspection fees for commercial, public assembly and other occupancies. Financial Services handles the billing, and you can pay by card, with a merchant fee added.

How often does a Plantation restaurant need kitchen hood cleaning?

Kitchen hood cleaning is needed whenever a grease inspection turns up buildup, and how often those inspections happen depends on your cooking. Under fire-marshal guidance, solid-fuel kitchens are checked monthly, high-volume charbroil, wok and 24-hour kitchens every three months, moderate kitchens twice yearly, and light-use kitchens such as churches once a year.
