Our Kitchen Odour and Fumes Leakage Testing Process
Exhaust System Inspection
Our team begins with a detailed inspection of your kitchen exhaust system, including ductwork, filters, fans, and hoods. This allows us to identify any areas prone to leakage or buildup that may affect system performance.
Leakage Testing and Pressure Assessment
We conduct pressure assessments and leakage testing to detect any air leaks that might allow fumes, odours, or grease particles to escape. This testing confirms the efficiency of your exhaust system and pinpoints specific leakage areas.
Odour and Airflow Testing
Using advanced instruments, we assess the exhaust system’s airflow and odour capture capability, ensuring it meets the required standards for odour and pollutant removal.
