Leadership

Since 1971, GreaseBusters has been keeping the nation’s restaurant and hospitality industry safe from grease fires. From the U.S. State Department to the local Corner Bakery, our sticker on the hood certifies that the facility is safe and clean. Our company has pioneered innovative methods for cleaning, safety, inspections, and transparency of service records and photos with our customers. These methods have been registered and certified as ISO 9001:2015 quality systems, which is the most rigorous quality standard recognized internationally.

We firmly believe that kitchen exhaust system cleaning is a highly specialized trade requiring technical training. As such, we partnered with a team of national Fire Protection industry experts to form USAKES (United States Academy for Kitchen Exhaust Specialists). Our technicians are USAKES certified, and all of our locally owned GreaseBusters offices achieve USAKES certification prior to opening.
