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.
EXHAUST FAN CLEANING • ORLANDO, FL
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.
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.
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.
Our fan service goes beyond wiping it down. We inspect everything that affects performance and longevity.
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.
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.
The hinge kit connects the fan to the roof. Grease and weather break it down. We check for corrosion, loose bolts, and seal integrity.
Grease should flow off the roof, not collect. We clean the curb, hinges, and surrounding area to restore proper drainage.
Systematic and thorough — we leave nothing up to chance.
We secure the roof, assess current fan condition, and document what we see before we touch anything.
Hot water, commercial degreasers, and careful scrubbing remove grease from the blades, housing, motor area, and hinges.
We test bearings for smooth rotation, check belt tension, and inspect all bolts and connections for tightness and corrosion.
We clean the curb, hinges, and surrounding area to restore proper grease drainage and prevent roof damage.
