OUR SERVICES
Everything Your Ventilation System Needs. One Company.
What Is CKVS Management — And Why Does It Matter?
CKVS stands for commercial kitchen ventilation system. It’s everything involved in moving air, heat, and grease out of your kitchen safely and efficiently — from the hood filters at line level to the exhaust fan on your rooftop.
Most vendors call it “hood cleaning” because that’s the part they clean. SSS calls it CKVS management because that’s the part we actually manage.
The difference isn’t just terminology. It’s scope, responsibility, and results. When you work with SSS, you’re not hiring a cleaning crew for one component of your system. You’re handing the whole thing off to a team that knows every inch of it — and stands behind every visit.

WHAT WE MANAGE
Four services. Every system need covered.
Most hood cleaning companies do one thing. SSS manages the entire system — from the filters on the line to the fan on the roof.
CKVS
Management
Full System Hood Cleaning
Every component, top to bottom — hood, filters, horizontal ductwork, and rooftop exhaust fan. Fully documented before and after, every time.
Grease
Containment
Protect Your Roof & Property
Unchecked grease travels. GCS keeps it contained before it reaches your TPO roofing, parking lot, building exterior, or neighboring properties.
Fan
Maintenance
Prevent Costly Breakdowns
Exhaust fan failure mid-service isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s lost revenue. Scheduled maintenance keeps your fans running and your kitchen open.
Emergency
Service
24/7. 365. No Exceptions.
When something goes wrong with your ventilation system, you need a number to call. That’s us. If we can’t deliver a result, you don’t pay.

The part that gets cleaned. The part that doesn’t.
The visible part of your ventilation system is the part most vendors clean — the filters, the inside of the hood, the surfaces an inspector can see at a glance.
What gets missed — or skipped entirely — is everything above the ceiling line. The horizontal ductwork where grease builds up between the hood and the fan. The exhaust fan itself, sometimes so grease-laden it can barely spin. The rooftop components that haven’t been touched in years.
This is the part that fails inspections. This is where kitchen fires start. This is the part SSS cleans every single time — and documents with photos so you can see it for yourself.
Want to see what a full cleaning actually looks like?
SSS isn’t for everyone. We’re okay with that.
If you’re looking for the lowest price, we’re not your company.
SSS costs more than most competitors. That’s intentional. A proper cleaning — one that covers every component of your system and comes with documented proof — takes more time, more skill, and delivers results a wipe-down never will.
Our clients are owners and operators who are done with vendors who can’t show their work. They want it done right, they want proof it was done right, and they don’t want to think about it again until we call to schedule the next one.
If that’s you, let’s talk.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CKVS management?
CKVS management — commercial kitchen ventilation system management — is the comprehensive maintenance of every component in a commercial kitchen’s exhaust system. This includes the hood, grease filters, horizontal ductwork, exhaust fans, and rooftop components. Unlike basic hood cleaning, CKVS management treats the entire system as one interconnected unit and addresses cleaning, maintenance, grease containment, and emergency response under a single service plan.
What's the difference between hood cleaning and CKVS management?
Hood cleaning typically refers to cleaning the hood and filters — the visible components of the ventilation system. CKVS management covers the entire system from the hood to the rooftop exhaust fan, including horizontal ductwork that most cleaning companies never touch. SSS provides CKVS management, not just hood cleaning, which means every component is inspected, cleaned, and documented on every visit.
What does a commercial kitchen ventilation system include?
A commercial kitchen ventilation system includes the exhaust hood, grease filters, a grease collection container or grease containment system, horizontal ductwork running between the hood and the exhaust fan, the exhaust fan, and all rooftop components. Some systems also include makeup air units that replace the air exhausted from the kitchen. SSS inspects and cleans all of these components.
Does SSS handle emergency kitchen ventilation service calls?
Yes. SSS provides 24/7 emergency service for commercial kitchen ventilation system issues, 365 days a year. If SSS responds to an emergency call and cannot deliver a result, there is no charge for the visit.
What is a grease containment system and why does it matter?
A grease containment system (GCS) is a collection and containment solution installed at the base of rooftop exhaust fans to capture grease runoff before it spreads across the roof, drains into parking lots, or damages building exteriors. Unchecked grease can degrade TPO and other roofing materials, create slip hazards, and create liability issues for property owners. SSS installs and manages GCS as part of its full CKVS management offering.
