Our Story: Industrial Precision for Commercial Safety

At One Percent Hood and Vent, we don’t just "clean" kitchen exhaust systems—we provide industrial-grade maintenance and fire prevention for the heart of your restaurant.

The Industrial Foundation

Founded by David Hester and Jesse Dubberly, One Percent Hood and Vent was born from the belief that commercial kitchens deserve the same level of precision and safety found in the nation's most rigorous industrial environments.

With over 18 combined years of experience in industrial maintenance, our team understands the complex mechanics of high-performance systems. We aren't just technicians with pressure washers; we are maintenance specialists who understand motors, fans, and the structural integrity of your exhaust infrastructure.

Why the "One Percent"?

Our name reflects our mission: To provide a level of service that puts us in the top 1% of the industry. We bridge the gap between "standard cleaning" and "industrial inspection" by focusing on what matters most:

  • A Technical Eye: With a background in Weld Inspection, we bring an unmatched level of scrutiny to your ductwork. We don't just look for grease; we identify structural deficiencies and fire hazards that others miss.

  • Safety First, Always: Our industrial training means we treat your facility with extreme care. From Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures on your fans to protecting your expensive kitchen line, we prioritize the safety of your staff, your equipment, and your property.

  • Certified Compliance: We are fully certified to the NFPA 96 Standard through the PWNA(Pressure Washers of North America) and compliant with IKECA/ANSI C10 regulations. We ensure your system is clean to the code, not just to the eye.

  • Total Facility Care: While specialized kitchen exhaust cleaning is our core focus, our industrial roots allow us to provide expanded preventive maintenance. We offer professional HVAC coil cleaning, filter changes, and drip pan sanitation, applying the same "bare-metal" rigor to your facility's air quality as we do to your kitchen's fire safety.
