How we repair your Hood Vent
A hood vent is the duct, damper and exterior termination that carries exhaust from a kitchen hood out of the house. A hood vent is built around one or more fan motors, switches or controls, filters and ductwork. A technician tests the motor and capacitor, checks switches and controls, and inspects filters and ducts for blockages.

Common Hood Vent problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Birds or pests in the duct
- Likely causes
- A missing screen or stuck open flap on the exterior cap.
- What our technician checks
- The cap is inspected and nesting material is removed.
Water entering through the vent
- Likely causes
- A failed roof flashing or wall cap seal, or duct sloped toward the house.

Flapping or banging noise

Cold drafts at the hood
- Likely causes
- A stuck open or missing backdraft damper in the duct or wall cap.
- What our technician checks
- The technician inspects the dampers at the hood and exterior cap for free movement and full closing.
Grease stains on the outside wall or roof
- Likely causes
- Grease-laden exhaust from dirty filters, or a vent cap without proper grease protection.
- What our technician checks
- Filters and the cap are inspected and the duct is checked for grease.
Exhaust not reaching outside
- Likely causes
- A disconnected duct joint, a crushed duct, or a blocked wall or roof cap.
- What our technician checks
- Duct connections and the termination are inspected and airflow at the cap is checked.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Hold a tissue near the outside cap with the fan on to feel for airflow.
- Look at the exterior flap to see if it opens and closes.
- Check for visible nesting or debris at the cap.
- Clean the hood filters.
- Look for water stains around the duct in cabinets or ceilings.
Safety first: Roof and high-wall vent work requires safe ladder use, and grease-coated ducts are a fire hazard.
