FAQ
Kitchen suppression FAQs
Still have a question? Call (707) 386-0006 and you'll get Kevin, not a call center.
Which kitchen suppression systems do you service?
We service the major wet-chemical brands you'll find on commercial cooking lines, including Ansul, Pyro-Chem and Amerex. If you're not sure what you have, send us a photo of the tank label.
Can you work around our hours?
Yes. We schedule before prep, between services or after close, so your kitchen doesn't have to shut down for the inspection.
We're adding a new fryer. Do we need you?
Yes. Any time appliances are added, removed or moved under the hood, nozzle coverage has to be re-checked so every appliance stays protected.
Is hood cleaning the same as hood suppression service?
No. Hood and duct cleaning removes grease buildup. Suppression service inspects and tests the fire-extinguishing system. Both are required, and we focus on the suppression system.
