At Performance Industrial, environmental protection is at the core of our work. We recognize the crucial roles that kitchen exhaust cleaning and rooftop grease containment play in preserving our environment. Here's how: Environmentally Friendly Products: Kitchen exhaust cleaning can be challenging due to grease buildup, necessitating the use of heavy-duty chemicals. However, many cleaners contain harmful substances. We prioritize safety by using Uncle Oscar’s high-quality F.O.G Control products – plant-based, biodegradable, and non-toxic, minimizing environmental impact. Uncle Oscars plays a crucial role not only in ensuring the safety of employees but also in maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of grease interceptors and drain lines. By naturalizing the pH level of grease, Uncle Oscars helps prevent it from sticking, which ultimately allows grease interceptors to function more effectively. This results in cleaner water entering the public water system and reduces the likelihood of blockages or issues in drain lines. Overall, Uncle Oscars contributes significantly to environmental health and safety standards. Preventing Air Pollution: Grease and other contaminants emitted from kitchen exhaust systems can contribute to air pollution. Regular cleaning of these systems helps to reduce the amount of grease buildup, which in turn minimizes the release of harmful pollutants into the air. Our team cleans kitchen exhaust systems thoroughly, ensuring pollutants are removed from hood canopies, exhaust ducts, and rooftop fans. Reducing Fire Hazards: Accumulated grease in kitchen exhaust systems poses a significant fire hazard . Regular cleaning helps to remove this buildup, decreasing the likelihood of fires breaking out. By preventing fires, not only are potential injuries and property damage avoided, but also the release of harmful pollutants that can occur during a fire. Conserving Energy: A clean kitchen exhaust system operates more efficiently than one clogged with grease and debris. Improved airflow reduces the strain on exhaust fans and other equipment, leading to energy savings . By conserving energy, the need for fossil fuels to generate electricity is reduced, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions. Protecting Water Quality: Grease and other contaminants that accumulate on rooftops can be washed away by rainwater, which can pollute nearby water sources. Rooftop grease containment systems capture and contain these pollutants, preventing them from entering stormwater runoff. This helps to protect water quality and aquatic ecosystems. We offer installation services to protect rooftops and prevent pollution between service intervals. Promoting Sustainable Practices: By implementing regular maintenance of kitchen exhaust systems and installing grease containment measures, businesses demonstrate a commitment to environmentally sustainable practices. This not only benefits the environment directly but also encourages others to follow suit, leading to broader environmental stewardship within communities. Overall, kitchen exhaust cleaning and rooftop grease containment are important measures for reducing pollution, conserving resources, and promoting environmental sustainability in commercial and industrial settings. At Performance Industrial , our highly trained staff are committed to protecting the environment. Contact us to learn how we can help keep your commercial kitchen safe, clean, and environmentally responsible. Trust us for the best results in safeguarding your business and the environment.

How Industrial Cleaning Makes Your Facility Energy Efficient Industrial cleaning plays a crucial role in maintaining the energy efficiency of a facility. A clean and well-maintained environment can positively impact various aspects of energy consumption and operational efficiency. Here’s how industrial cleaning contributes to energy efficiency: Optimized Equipment Performance: Clean machinery and equipment operate more efficiently. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on industrial equipment, causing it to work harder and consume more energy. Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and reduces energy waste. Efficient HVAC Systems: Clean HVAC systems operate more efficiently. Regular cleaning of air filters, ducts, and cooling coils ensures that the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can move air more freely, reducing the workload and energy consumption. Reduced Friction and Wear: Cleaning industrial machinery and surfaces helps reduce friction and wear. Less friction means that mechanical systems operate more smoothly, requiring less energy to overcome resistance and frictional forces. Improved Lighting Efficiency: Clean and well-maintained lighting fixtures and reflective surfaces result in better light distribution. This can reduce the need for additional lighting and improve overall illumination, contributing to energy savings in industrial facilities. Enhanced Insulation Effectiveness: A clean environment allows for better insulation effectiveness. Dust and dirt accumulation on surfaces can compromise insulation properties, leading to increased heat transfer. Regular cleaning helps maintain the integrity of insulation materials, reducing the workload on heating and cooling systems. Prevention of Energy Loss: Leaks in compressed air systems, steam systems, or other pipelines can lead to energy losses. Regular inspection and cleaning help identify and address these leaks promptly, preventing unnecessary energy waste. Improved Air Quality: Clean environments contribute to better indoor air quality . When air quality is high, occupants tend to be more comfortable, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. This can lead to energy savings in HVAC operations. Compliance with Energy Standards: Many industrial facilities are subject to energy efficiency regulations and standards. Regular cleaning and maintenance help ensure that equipment and systems meet these standards, avoiding penalties and optimizing energy performance . Prevention of Contamination and Corrosion: Clean surfaces help prevent the accumulation of contaminants that can lead to corrosion and inefficiencies in industrial processes. Preventing corrosion can extend the life of equipment and reduce the need for frequent replacements, saving energy associated with manufacturing new components. Reduced Heat Buildup: Accumulated dirt and debris can impede the dissipation of heat from equipment. Regular cleaning helps prevent heat buildup, ensuring that machines and systems can operate within optimal temperature ranges without excessive energy consumption. In summary, industrial cleaning is a proactive measure that can significantly contribute to energy efficiency in a facility. It helps maintain equipment performance, reduces energy waste, and ensures compliance with energy standards, ultimately leading to cost savings and a more sustainable operational environment.

Epoxy flooring is a popular choice for various commercial and industrial spaces due to its numerous benefits. With a seamless and glossy finish, they provide protection for your concrete surfaces while also adding elegance to any space. Take it up a notch and include flakes in the coating to elevate your epoxy flooring . Here are the key advantages of epoxy flake flooring: Visual Appeal One of the primary benefits of incorporating flakes in epoxy coatings is their enhanced visual appeal. Whether you prefer a subtle and understated look or a bold and vibrant design, flakes offer endless possibilities to elevate your floors. The flakes add depth and dimension to the floor, making it visually interesting and unique. The combination of colors and patterns creates a stunning effect that can transform an ordinary space into a work of art. Concealing Imperfections Another advantage of using flakes is their ability to conceal imperfections in the concrete surface. Epoxy flakes can effectively conceal minor flaws in the concrete surface, diverting attention from small cracks, chips, or unevenness. This makes them a great option for rejuvenating older or worn-out floors without extensive repairs. Safety Safety is a crucial consideration when it comes to flooring options. Many epoxy flakes have a textured surface that provides slip resistance , making them suitable for areas prone to spills or moisture. This added grip helps reduce the risk of accidents, enhancing safety for occupants. Enhanced Durability Epoxy floors are known for withstanding heavy machinery and are incredibly resilient to high traffic areas. They are resistant to cracking and pitting, making them ideal for industrial locations, hospitals, universities, and sports facilities. Epoxy flakes become an integral part of the epoxy coating, adding an extra layer of strength and protection. This makes the surface more resistant to abrasions, impact, and chemicals, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance needs.  Overall, epoxy flake flooring is a versatile and durable choice for various settings, offering both aesthetic and functional advantages for a wide range of applications. Our epoxy and industrial flooring experts at Performance Industrial provide exceptional workmanship on every epoxy flooring system.

Every night our kitchen exhaust cleaning technicians set out with the mission to keep restaurants safe from the risk of fire. The certified kitchen exhaust cleaning technicians that work on our team always make sure they go beyond the kitchen’s exhaust hood. A complete cleaning covers every inch of an exhaust system, from the hood all the way to the rooftop kitchen exhaust fan. This leaves nothing behind but bare metal because only a bare metal cleaning can reduce the risk of fire. Our technicians understand that nothing is of higher priority than protecting your commercial kitchen from the threat of fire. Did you know that over 10,000 restaurant fires are caused each year due to mismanaged kitchen exhaust and hood systems? Many of these restaurant fires occur after a “typical” cleaning has been performed. This occurs when restaurant owners use uncertified or small fly-by-night cleaning operations that lack the training, tools, and capability to clean commercial kitchen exhaust systems to code. The truth is, only a certified contractor can provide the inspection and bare metal cleaning you need to keep your business, employees, and customers safe. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) , many restaurant fires originate on kitchen cooking appliances that quickly spread into the kitchen exhaust system. Fire can spread rapidly through neglected grease-laden exhaust systems, and then onto the roof. While most kitchen exhaust hoods are equipped with fire suppression equipment, most exhaust systems leading up to the fan on the roof are not. If the fire is not extinguished at the hood and gets into the exhaust system, by the time the fire department responds, the damage can be extensive. Restaurant owners can protect their businesses and livelihood from destructive commercial kitchen fires. The best way to protect your investment is to have your kitchen exhaust system regularly cleaned by certified professionals. Here are three essential tips on how to prevent kitchen exhaust fires in your commercial kitchen. Demand a Certified Kitchen Exhaust Cleaner According to the NFPA 96 code 4.1.5, the owner of the kitchen exhaust system will be ultimately responsible in the event of a fire. As the owner, it is vital that you demand a certified kitchen exhaust cleaner. Certified kitchen exhaust cleaners will always make sure that they go beyond the kitchen’s exhaust hood. A complete cleaning covers every inch of an exhaust system and leaves nothing behind but bare metal. NFPA 96 standards state that only a bare metal cleaning can reduce the risk of fire. They will install grease containment systems, access doors, and hinge kits. A certified contractor will always provide a full-service inspection report and leave behind a certificate of performance to show that your system is compliant. Always ask your current service provider if they are certified by a reputable, accredited agency. Clean the Entire Kitchen Exhaust System It may be hard to believe, but some kitchen exhaust cleaning companies only clean what is immediately visible and inspectable. That is not enough. If the complete exhaust system is not cleaned, any greasy residue that remains in a kitchen exhaust system creates a fire hazard. The ductwork from the hood to the roof is largely out of sight and out of mind, but a certified kitchen exhaust cleaning company will clean all those hidden areas. If any horizontal ductwork exists in a restaurant this is one area that low-quality hood cleaners notoriously skip. Inspect the kitchen exhaust ducts or use photo verification after cleaning to see if all the buildup and grease has been removed to the bare metal in accordance with IKECA and NFPA 96 Standards. Ask For References and Inspection Report If your kitchen exhaust cleaning contractor is experienced, they should have no problem providing a reference. This can help restaurant owners avoid kitchen exhaust cleaning companies with no track record of cleaning kitchen exhaust systems to code. Expert kitchen exhaust cleaning companies will have a track record of satisfied restaurant owners. Ask for an inspection before scheduling the work. A certified kitchen exhaust cleaner will check for deficiencies, violations, and provide a report identifying any areas of concern, along with a suggested course of corrective action. That is the best place to start. When it comes to safety and cleanliness, you want it done right. Why? Because your business depends on it. When you work with Performance Industrial , you are working with a highly trained and educated staff who care deeply about protecting your restaurant from the threat of fire. If you want to keep your commercial kitchen safe and clean, contact us to learn more. We can discuss what your business needs to prevent fires. If you are looking for the best results for your business, you can count on us.

Our Drive Out Cancer Capital Region Traveling Golf League officially kicked off their 10-week tour at the beginning of August. It is a fundraising event to support the Real Men Wear Pink campaign and the American Cancer Society . October marks a special time for Performance Industrial when employees unite to support the company’s Real Men Wear Pink initiative, a driving force in the culture of our industrial cleaning company. At the beginning of October, Performance Industrial’s crew will adorn “Pink” for breast cancer awareness and help drive donations to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

As part of an annual tradition, Performance Industrial spearheads numerous Real Men Wear Pink events and campaigns to take place from August through October to support the company’s fundraising goals. Our company joins ambassadors across the nation who step up and use the power of wearing pink to raise funds and draw attention to the fight to end breast cancer. “Breast cancer affects everyone – it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. That’s why I’m stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Since I’m able to make a difference within my community, I believe I have an obligation to do so. By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, I’m helping to save more lives from breast cancer.” Bill Miller, Owner, Performance Industrial. Every dollar raised helps the American Cancer Society save more lives from being lost to breast cancer through early detection and prevention, breakthrough breast cancer discovery and research, and lifesaving patient support. Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue saving more lives! They’re helping people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early when it’s easier to treat.
