Long duct runs, turns, and risers hide sections no one can reach from the hood or the fan. Access panels open those sections up, so the whole run gets cleaned instead of just the ends.
The sections nobody can reach are exactly where grease accumulates for years, and exactly what a fire finds first.
A certificate means the system was cleaned. Panels make sure that can actually happen, every foot of it.
Fire marshals look for evidence the full duct run is being maintained, not just the visible ends.
We place panels where cleaning experience says they are needed, because we are the ones coming back to use them.
Once installed, every future cleaning is faster, more complete, and easier to verify.
If your duct run has long horizontal sections, turns, or risers with no openings, sections are likely going uncleaned. We assess this during your estimate or first cleaning.
No. Panels are purpose-made for grease duct service and installed grease-tight.
NFPA 96 requires the exhaust system be cleanable through its entire length. Access panels are how systems without adequate openings get there.
