Full-system exhaust cleaning aligned with NFPA 96 standards—helping you pass inspections and reduce fire risk.
More Than Cleaning — Compliance You Can Count On.
Who We Are
Built From a Real Problem.
Designed to Solve It.
Power Exhaust Solutions was created after uncovering a critical issue inside the kitchen exhaust system at Canadian Honker, one of Rochester’s long-standing restaurants.
At a glance, the system appeared to be properly maintained. Routine cleanings were being performed, complete with reports and documentation. But a deeper inspection revealed that only “accessible areas” had been serviced—leaving large portions of the system untouched.
Over time, grease had built up deep within the ductwork, plenum, and fan system, forming hardened, carbonized layers that routine maintenance could not address.
The restaurant had unknowingly been receiving
surface-level cleaning rather than full-system care.
Once identified, the solution required a full restoration—multiple nights of overnight work, intensive degreasing, duct cleaning, and complete system pressure washing. The result was a fully restored system with improved airflow, reduced fire risk, and a clear path for proper ongoing maintenance.
But the biggest realization was this:
this problem wasn’t unique.
Many restaurants rely on routine hood cleaning services without knowing what’s happening deeper inside their exhaust systems.
That insight led to the creation of
Power Exhaust Solutions.
A Better Approach to Exhaust Cleaning
We focus on transparency, full-system accountability, and services that match the true condition of your kitchen—not just what’s visible.
Our three-tier structure ensures the right level of care:
Full Restoration Cleaning – For systems with heavy, long-term buildup requiring a complete reset
Full System Cleaning – Ongoing maintenance of the entire system from hood to fan
Accessible Area Cleaning – Surface-level maintenance for lighter, routine needs
