Your calendar starts with how the kitchen cooks.
Published Charleston-area guidance ranges from monthly inspection for solid-fuel operations to annual inspection for low-volume kitchens. North Charleston requirements should be confirmed with the fire official responsible for the facility.
- Identify solid-fuel, charbroiling, wok and high-volume lines.
- Keep a separate record for every exhaust system.
- Document inaccessible duct and fan conditions.
- Do not treat a cleaning sticker as a guaranteed inspection pass.

Frequently asked questions
Useful answers before you request service.
What should complete hood cleaning include?+
A written scope should name the hood, plenum, accessible duct, exhaust fan, filters when included, protection, cleanup, service label and photographs. Limitations should be documented rather than assumed clean.
How often should a North Charleston kitchen be inspected?+
Frequency depends on fuel, cooking type, volume and observed grease accumulation. Charleston-area published guidance uses monthly, quarterly, semiannual and annual categories; confirm the current requirement with the local fire official.
How much does commercial hood cleaning cost?+
A routine single-system job may plan around $350–$700, while multi-system, difficult-access or heavy-buildup work can exceed $800–$2,000. These are planning figures, not local bids.
Does cleaning guarantee an inspection pass?+
No. Suppression, mechanical, electrical, access and other conditions may be reviewed separately.
