Main concentration for KESCA is
the implementation of the
NFPA 96 Standard
Indoor Air Quality and Fire Prevention Standards, Licensing and Certification Process
Kitchen Exhaust
Build & installed to code, access doors and hinge assemblies when necessary
Roof protection
protecting the roof can prevent injury, damaging the roof membrane stop attaching unwanted pests & keeps the appearance of a clean establishment if seen from taller buildings like hotels
Exhaust fan cleaning
mushroom type fans are to have a hinge assembly installed to allow maintenance staff to see issues and maintain them, prevent fire and potential damage to other building and structure including paint of vehicles below.
Riser and horizontal ducts
require fire rated access doors to allow access to remove heavy grease build up, and address deteriorated ducts over time.
Hoods
Removal of heavy grease build up and stains caused during cooking and food production
Filters
collect grease laden vapours and require cleaning when a build up is noticeable depending on the type of cooking operation will depend on the frequency. For example a char boiler will require more frequent cleaning.
Behind & under equipment
can eliminate fuel for fire and stop attaching pest control issues, at the same time keep the appearances of a clean safe establishment.
Make up air system
acoustical lining can effect building envelop if not balanced correctly
No makeup air
will effect building envelop creating air and water leaks potentially damaging insulation. Hard to open doors, extra expense to condition air
Make up air filters
to address the vehicle emissions to ensure employees and occupant safety, improve efficiency if they keep the housing filters, coils, drain pans and blower blades clean and address the acoustical lining when necessary.
Return air plenum
Return air plenum cleaning and decontamination
Return air duct & acoustical lining
has a heaver build up of debris and dust in some case harbours mould & microbes
HVAC
Housing, filters, coils, drain pans, blower blades, and silencers if any (payback ratio)
Supply ducts inside and outside
(if there is no ceiling) the inside of the ducts can have small diced up pieces of insects, heavy metals caused by vehicle emission due to heavy traffic or drive through, they can even transport hazardous life forms.
Ceiling & wall cleaning
restores fire rating and keep the establishment looking clean and professional
Carpet & upholstery cleaning
appearance, can attract pest infestation, odours even VOC’s & reflects food quality.
Pest control
food storage and prep areas can attract beetles, moths, cockroaches, flies, mice & rats
Grease traps
if not cleaned regularly they can block plumbing both inside the restaurant and in community drainage systems
Oil collection/ Biodiesel production
the collection of used cooking oil and grease can help prevent plumbing problems at the same time be used for the production of biodiesel allowing the contractor to use it as fuel for company vehicles
