EXHAUST FAN CLEANING • ORLANDO, FL

Exhaust Fan Cleaning That Keeps Your Rooftop Safe

Your rooftop fan is working 8+ hours a day, spinning through grease-laden air. Bearings wear. Belts stretch. Grease collects where you can't see it. We clean and inspect the fan, hinges, and surrounding area — then we tell you exactly what's happening up there.

Why Your Rooftop Fan Needs More Than Just a Wipe

Most restaurant owners never go up on the roof. Out of sight, out of mind. Until the fan sounds like it's dying, or you get a bill for emergency repairs.

The Hidden Problem: Grease & Wear Compound Over Time

Exhaust fans run continuously. They pull air and grease vapor all day. That grease builds up on the fan blades, in the housing, and around the curb and hinges. Left unchecked, it gums up bearings, stretches belts, and can damage the roof itself.

Worse: a fan caked in grease has to work harder to spin. That burns through bearings and can lead to premature failure — a $2,000+ replacement that could've been prevented for a couple hundred dollars in maintenance.

The Real Cost of Skipping Fan Maintenance

  • Worn bearings → seized fan → emergency downtime
  • Stretched belts → slipping, loss of airflow
  • Grease overflow → roof damage, acid eating through materials
  • Structural damage → curb repair, possible roof re-flashing ($3,000+)

What We Check During Fan Cleaning

Our fan service goes beyond wiping it down. We inspect everything that affects performance and longevity.

Bearing Condition

We spin the fan by hand, listen for noise, and feel for resistance. A healthy bearing is smooth and quiet. Grinding, squeaking, or resistance means wear is happening.

Belt Tension & Wear

A belt that's too tight loads the bearings. Too loose, and it slips. We check tension, look for cracks and fraying, and tell you if replacement is coming soon.

Hinge Kit & Curb Integrity

The hinge kit connects the fan to the roof. Grease and weather break it down. We check for corrosion, loose bolts, and seal integrity.

Rooftop Grease Path

Grease should flow off the roof, not collect. We clean the curb, hinges, and surrounding area to restore proper drainage.

Our Fan Cleaning Process

Systematic and thorough — we leave nothing up to chance.

1

Safety Setup & Initial Inspection

We secure the roof, assess current fan condition, and document what we see before we touch anything.

2

Deep Fan Degreasing

Hot water, commercial degreasers, and careful scrubbing remove grease from the blades, housing, motor area, and hinges.

3

Bearing, Belt & Hardware Inspection

We test bearings for smooth rotation, check belt tension, and inspect all bolts and connections for tightness and corrosion.

4

Rooftop Cleanup & Grease Flow Restoration

We clean the curb, hinges, and surrounding area to restore proper grease drainage and prevent roof damage.

5

Documentation & Recommendations

You get photos, findings, and a clear timeline for any maintenance needs — bearings, belts, hinge kits, or repairs.

When Your Fan Is Trying to Tell You Something

Your fan makes noises. Some are normal. Some mean trouble. Here's what to listen for — and when to call us.

Warning Signs to Act On

  • Grinding, squealing, or howling noise
  • Fan vibrating more than usual
  • Reduced airflow despite clean filters
  • Visible grease pooling on roof
  • Belt slipping or occasional stuttering
  • Fan harder to start on cold mornings

Any of these = we need to look at it soon.

What We'll Likely Find & Fix

  • Bearing wear requiring lubrication or replacement
  • Belt stretch requiring tension adjustment or replacement
  • Grease buildup restricting blade movement
  • Hinge corrosion or seal failure
  • Motor or wiring issues (we document, recommend specialist)

Key: We catch these early, before they become emergency situations.
