Your kitchen, always inspection-ready.
FOG / grease trap care, deep equipment sanitation, and hood & duct cleaning — inspected, certified, and documented on a schedule you never have to think about.
Combined track record across our fire-prevention businesses, including Dryer Vent Doctor.
Three services. One compliance record.
Every job is logged, photographed, and tied to your kitchen's documentation — so you're never scrambling before an inspection.
FOG / grease trap care
Certified grease trap pumping on a schedule matched to your volume, logged and manifested under the 25% rule.
Deep equipment sanitation
Fryers, flat-tops, and ovens stripped to bare metal and documented before/after — bundled with your hood & exhaust contract.
Hood & duct cleaning
Canopy, plenum, ducts, and rooftop fan cleaned to NFPA 96, with a photo-documented report every visit.
Why now. The two rules that govern your kitchen.
NFPA 96
Adopted into the Ontario Fire Code in 2025, NFPA 96 governs cleaning of your hood, canopy, ducts, and rooftop fan. Required frequency runs from monthly for 24-hour and high-heat kitchens down to annually for low-volume, seasonal operations. It's set by how hard your kitchen runs, not a flat calendar rule.
O.Reg 347 & Chapter 681
Grease interceptors must be pumped before grease and solids exceed 25% of liquid volume, the "25% rule." A compliance log stays on site for at least two years, with a licensed hauler's manifest filed behind it.

Before you book
We already have someone who does this. Why switch?
Most kitchens we talk to already have a vendor for one side of this, usually hood cleaning. Ask what happens today if that vendor doesn't also handle your grease trap: you're coordinating two schedules, two invoices, and two sets of paperwork yourself. Northfire is one vendor covering both NFPA 96 and Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 681 obligations under one contract. Bring us your last invoice when you switch and we'll take 10% off your first year.
You're new. How do I know you're reliable?
Northfire itself is new, and we won't pretend otherwise. The people behind it aren't new to fire prevention: we also run Dryer Vent Doctor, a GTA home fire-prevention business with over a decade in business, 4,000+ customers served, and a 4.8-star Google rating. What being new means in practice for Northfire: you're not another stop on an overbooked route, and your walkthrough gets scheduled on your timeline, not squeezed in months out. Every visit ends with a documented compliance binder handed to you on site.
We haven't had a problem. We just passed inspection.
That's exactly when it's worth confirming your schedule, not after something slips. Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 681 sets real fine exposure for grease-trap non-compliance: $50,000 for a first offence, up to $100,000 for a repeat one. NFPA 96 sets its own hood-cleaning minimums on top of that. A clean inspection today doesn't change what's required between now and the next one.
How often do I need grease trap service?
Toronto's Sewers By-law sets the "25% rule": your interceptor has to be pumped before grease and solids reach 25% of its liquid volume. In practice that works out to every few weeks for a high-volume kitchen and every couple of months for a lower-volume one. We measure your actual trap and volume at the walkthrough and set a real schedule from that, not a guess.
Your price seems the same as, or more than, a quote I could get elsewhere.
Published GTA rates for hood cleaning alone run $385 to $1,050+ per visit. Northfire's Founding Kitchen Rate starts at $325 per visit for standard hood service. Sign as one of our first 30 GTA kitchens and that rate is yours for as long as you stay on service. See how the Founding Kitchen Program works →
Do you serve multi-location chains or property managers?
Yes — we put every kitchen or tenant unit on one compliance calendar with consolidated reporting and a single point of contact, so nothing slips between locations. See the Property Manager program →
Do you reward staying on for multiple years?
Yes: every additional year you commit to on your contract unlocks a free-service reward at that renewal, a choice of a free deep-clean or grease-trap visit at year 2, both at year 3, two of each from year 4 on. It's a bonus on top of your rate, not a discount that lowers it. See the full reward table →
I don't have time for a walkthrough.
The initial walkthrough takes about 10 minutes and comes with no obligation: we look at your hood system and grease interceptor, tell you exactly what's required and how often, and leave you with a straight quote. No sales pitch appointment, no follow-up calls to book it.
Never fail an inspection again.
