Commercial Exhaust Hood Repair

Diagnostic and repair service for hoods that are leaking, losing suction, or flagged during a fire inspection — we find the actual problem and fix it.

A hood that’s leaking, rattling, losing suction, or flagged during a fire inspection needs more than a routine cleaning. Our commercial exhaust repair experts diagnose the actual problem — worn fan belts, failing fan motors, clogged filters, damaged ductwork — and fix it, rather than just noting it on a report.

Signs your hood needs repair, not just cleaning

Weak or no airflow, unusual noise from the rooftop fan, smoke or odor lingering in the kitchen longer than it should, visible leaking around the hood, or a citation from a cleaning crew or fire inspector are all signs the problem is mechanical, not just grease buildup that a cleaning will fix.

Common repairs we handle

Worn or slipping fan belts, failing fan motors that draw too much power or stop running, clogged filters that choke airflow even after cleaning, and damaged ductwork are the most frequent issues we see — all things that a routine cleaning won’t resolve on its own.

Why downtime matters

In most jurisdictions, health and fire code require working ventilation to legally cook on a line — a broken exhaust fan isn’t just uncomfortable, it can mean you’re not able to operate until it’s fixed. We prioritize getting kitchens back up and running fast, with most repairs completed same-day or next-day once we’ve diagnosed the issue.

If it’s already been flagged

If a cleaning crew or fire inspector has already flagged an issue, we can assess it, tell you plainly what’s actually wrong, and fix it — rather than leaving you with a report and no path to actually resolving it.

Who this is for

Any commercial kitchen with a hood, fan, or ductwork issue — whether it’s something you’ve noticed yourself or something flagged during a routine cleaning or fire inspection.

Fan Belt Replacement

A worn or slipping belt is one of the most common reasons a rooftop exhaust fan loses power. We replace fan belts on-site so your exhaust pulls the way it's supposed to.

Fan Motor Replacement

When a fan motor fails or starts drawing more power than it should, we diagnose it and replace it, restoring proper airflow instead of leaving grease and smoke with nowhere to go.

Clogged Commercial Exhaust Filters

Filters clogged with hardened grease choke airflow and increase fire risk. We clear or replace them as part of any repair visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs my exhaust hood needs repair?

Weak or no airflow, unusual noise from the rooftop fan, smoke or odor lingering in the kitchen, visible leaking, or a citation from a cleaning crew or fire inspector are all signs it's time for a repair visit, not just another cleaning.

Can my kitchen stay open with a broken exhaust fan?

In most jurisdictions, health and fire code require working ventilation to cook — a non-functioning exhaust system can mean you're not legally able to operate your cook line until it's fixed.

How fast can a commercial hood repair be completed?

Most repairs — belt replacement, motor issues, clogged filters — are same-day or next-day once we've diagnosed the problem, so kitchens aren't down longer than necessary.
