Kitchen compliance for Vaughan restaurants.
NFPA 96 hood cleaning and grease-trap compliance, sized to your kitchen's actual volume and covered under one contract.
New equipment doesn't mean a new clock.
A newer kitchen build doesn't change what NFPA 96 or Vaughan's own sewer use by-law require. Hood systems and grease interceptors both need the same scheduled cleaning and pumping from day one, whether the equipment is brand new or years old. Northfire sets that schedule once and keeps a compliance binder current from your first visit.
NFPA 96
Adopted into the Ontario Fire Code in 2025, NFPA 96 governs cleaning of your hood, canopy, ducts, and rooftop fan the same way in Vaughan as everywhere else in the province. Required frequency runs monthly for 24-hour, high-heat kitchens down to annually for low-volume, seasonal ones.
Your municipal sewer by-law
Grease interceptors answer to Vaughan's own sewer use by-law, a separate rule from Toronto's. Requirements and fine exposure vary by municipality: we confirm exactly what applies to your address during the walkthrough, and keep a compliance log on file either way.
