RAEL specializes in the testing, inspection, maintenance, and violation removal of commercial kitchen fire suppression systems in accordance with NFPA 96, NFPA 17A, and local fire codes. We are also authorized distributors of Ansul®, PyroChem, and RangeGuard fire suppression systems, ensuring you receive the highest quality service and equipment.
Why is Kitchen Fire Suppression System Maintenance Important?
According to the NFPA, the majority of restaurant fires are caused by cooking equipment. As a commercial kitchen operator, fire safety is not optional—it’s essential. The high heat, open flames, and grease-laden vapors in commercial kitchens create one of the highest fire risks in any industry. A properly maintained kitchen fire suppression system is your first line of defense in protecting your staff, customers, property, and business.
Benefits include:
🔥 Immediate Fire Protection – A kitchen fire suppression system automatically detects and suppresses fires before they spread, minimizing damage and downtime.
✔ Code Compliance & Violation Removal – Regular inspections and testing ensure compliance with NFPA standards, OSHA regulations, and local fire codes. Our experts can correct violations and bring your system up to code to avoid costly fines and shutdowns.
🛠 Reliable Performance – Over time, grease, dust, and mechanical wear can affect the performance of fire suppression systems. Routine testing and maintenance prevent system malfunctions when you need them most.
📑 Insurance & Liability Protection – Many insurance policies require proof of routine inspections to maintain coverage. A failed inspection or improper maintenance could result in denied claims in the event of a fire.

Backflow Prevention Device Testing
At RAEL, we specialize in comprehensive backflow prevention testing and fire safety compliance for restaurants and commercial kitchens. Our certified technicians ensure your system is functioning properly, meeting regulations, and protecting your business from costly violations and potential health hazards.
What is a backflow prevention device?
A backflow prevention device is a specialized valve installed in your water supply system to prevent contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. Backflow can occur due to changes in water pressure, which can cause grease, chemicals, food waste, and other contaminants to enter your potable water lines—posing serious health hazards.
The importance of professional backflow prevention device testing.
Like any mechanical device, backflow preventers wear down over time and must be tested annually to ensure they are functioning correctly. A certified fire safety company like RAEL has the expertise, equipment, and licensing required to:
✅ Conduct thorough backflow testing to check for leaks, pressure issues, or system failures
✅ Ensure compliance with local and national health & plumbing codes
✅ Perform maintenance and repairs to keep your system in top working condition
✅ Provide official certification required by health departments and water authorities

Kitchen Exhaust Hood & Duct Cleaning – All Brands
As a restaurant owner or commercial kitchen operator, ensuring a clean and safe kitchen is critical to protecting your employees, customers, and business. One of the most important aspects of fire prevention in any commercial kitchen is regular kitchen exhaust hood cleaning.
How often should your kitchen exhaust hood be cleaned?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96) provides guidelines for hood cleaning frequency based on kitchen operations:
✔ Monthly – High-volume kitchens (24/7 operations, solid-fuel cooking, heavy grease output)
✔ Quarterly – Moderate-use commercial kitchens (sit-down restaurants, fast food chains)
✔ Semi-Annually – Low-volume kitchens (hotel kitchens, church kitchens, seasonal operations)
✔ Annually – Minimal grease operations (daycare centers, cafeterias, non-grease cooking)
Why You Need a Professional Company for Exhaust Hood and Duct Cleaning
Cleaning a commercial kitchen exhaust system is not a DIY job—it requires specialized training, equipment, and compliance knowledge. A professional company ensures:
✅ Comprehensive Cleaning – We clean the entire system, including hoods, filters, ducts, and exhaust fans—not just the visible parts.
✅ NFPA 96 & Health Code Compliance – We ensure your exhaust system meets fire codes and health regulations, helping you pass inspections effortlessly.
✅ Certified & Experienced Technicians – Our trained professionals use high-pressure cleaning methods to remove all grease buildup and prevent fire risks.
