Houston Kitchen Fire Suppression Inspectors

Houston, Texas

2 licensed inspectors found

Houston commercial kitchens must keep a current NFPA 17A/96 six-month tag on the hood fire-suppression system. A hood-cleaning visit does not replace that inspection — wet-chemical discharge readiness, fusible links, and nozzles are a separate licensed service.

Texas work of this type is overseen by the TDI State Fire Marshal and the local AHJ (often the Houston Fire Marshal). We only list license numbers companies actually published; verify them yourself.

Kitchen fire suppression FAQs in Houston

How often is a Houston kitchen suppression inspection required?
About every six months under NFPA 17A/96. The Houston Fire Marshal and TDI expect a current tag on the wet-chemical hood system, not a grease-duct cleaning certificate.
Is HoodInspect a Houston hood-cleaning directory?
No. Houston listings are licensed inspectors who certify wet-chemical hood suppression systems (including Ansul). Hood cleaning is a different trade and does not tag the system.
Who oversees kitchen suppression inspectors in Houston?
The Texas Department of Insurance State Fire Marshal registers the companies, and the Houston Fire Marshal (the local AHJ) enforces the tag on site. Confirm any published license before you hire.
