Exhaust Cleaner only BBS

Here is the post in question. http://www.dcs1.com/dcs1boards/messages/detail.cfm?ID=8691&Board_ID=2

I've left a note for this CHDCA imposter to contact me so that he can be told to stop claiming he's a member when he's not. I'm not using Delco's free site for publicity.

Since I don't know who Kyle is, and the only way of contacting him is through the board, and you obviously didn't like the way I asked him to contact me, what do you want me to do?

I'm trying to be reasonable here Mtn, but all you can see is the red in your eyes.

And I guess everything your friend Russy posted was productive and truthful.
Thanks for the kick in the B#&**$.

 

[Grant]

No not 100%, but when I asked you BOTH to stop, he did.

 

[Grant]

Rusty and I don't see eye to eye either, and we have hashed out our disagreements (off the board). And we can both get on with business. The point here is to make the industry better for all of us!
Don't take my editing of your post personal, it needed to stop, you were asked, you continued, I edited. The end.
Sorry.

 

[mtngoat]

Thanks good day and goodbye

Why did you post the roof pictures? Some of us consider the roof and fans to be part of the system. I would hope that this is your first service with this account-who serviced it last?

 

[RustyACE]

1st service. We were called in for an emergency cleaning. One of those, the grease is eating a hole in our roof and we have leaks and we need it cleaned so the roofing guy can fix the leaks....

Get out there and there is years worth of grease leaking from this enormous fan. They've rigged up a copper pipe to drain the grease through the roof into a collection pan beside the hood downstairs. And of course to overcome the grease turning to a solid at room temperature they installed a thermoelectric warming wire down through the middle of the grease. Which isn't working of course.

The roof's drains are about 3 In above the surface of the roof, so it fills completely full of water and then the water spills over into the down spouts. There is so much grease that it floats on top of the water and then eventually turns solid and then settles to the bottom.

It's about 100+ feet long by about 3 to 4 feet wide by about 3 to 6" deep.

This is the after picture having scraped all of the pond scum and wet vac'ed it over the edge of the building via a plastic trough that I constructed to a 30 gallon bucket below.

Just after this picture a severe rain storm came up and filled it full of water again. But for a few minutes it was clean (no water).

I got $800 for the roof and $350 for the hood. Pretty easy money, although cleaning that roof was no fun (smelly and hot).

My next project is a Mexican restaurant that hasn't been cleaned in years.

We were called out by the building owner to take a look and see what we can do.

Here are the before's... we'll see if they take our price... and then I should have some good after's.

How about Matt's PB125 Grease Containment system. It has a self emptying feature. Everytime it rains, the PB125 GCS cleans itself and is ready for the next batch of dripping grease.

No hinges of course and the electrical wiring is about to fall apart.

Has at least 1" build up inside of the ductwork and will require heavy duty scraping.

Now there is someone on the Delco board who claims to be associated with Russy.
Gee I wonder how that happened.Big suprise!
Oh I guess its ok that russy is using this board for free publicty and more personal gain.
Wouldnt be blaitant advertisng now wood it? NO ADVERTISING. thats why I left the other board to commercial, to much control exeretd by those running it. Starting to sound like this board.
Wonder why the traffic here has gone to hell?
Because the other guys dont like people like russ diggin around in there business and using what he sees her to hurt them.

NO ADVERTISING!! not in this section

How long did it talk you to clean the roof?

How many guys did it take to clean the roof?

How where you able to remove the grease?

Where did grease go?

Thanks,

Dear Mtn,

Please have Kyle contact me. We have never trained anyone by the name of Kyle and we have no company listed under the name that he is posting.

Since you don't want me to post on Delco's Holy Grail Bulletin Board (No advertising of course, oh yeah we sell everthing pressure washer related.. which I have absolutely no problem with) and I don't know who this person is, could you please have him call me so that I can find out why he is claiming to have been trained by us.

You are falsely accusing me of "planting" Kyle in your area.

First, I didn't "plant" anyone to steal your business. If your customers "CHOOSE" to go with another hood cleaning company, then maybe you ought to give them a reason to continue using your service. Not berate me for something that I haven't done, have no control over and as far as I am concerned is a complete waste of this board's time and energy.

Secondly, Grow up. If you are half as effective hood cleaner as you claim, then your competitors will have no chance against the almighty Mtngoat.

Grant has already pointed out that competitors keep you on your toes and make your business stronger. We may not agree on a lot of things, but he has hit the head of the nail with the hammer on this one.

Hey Doc, Haven't heard from you lately.

1 Guy- me. 7 hours (had the wrong size wet vac). Although my wife did go and go fetch some gatorade and help out some.

Most all of the grease was removed, sucked into a wet vac, then dumped over the edge of the roof via a plastic shoot to a bucket then rolled and dumped into the dumpster. Too much leaves/ sticks and other stuff to place in the grease recycle bin.

If I ever clean it again, I'll have one of those 16 gallons jobbers so that I can get down and dirty instead of 1 gallon at a time size.

I rented a pump, but because the water had so much stuff floating and it was too shallow to be effective. It just sat on the edge of the roof not used.

How's Daryl doing and that dog of his? When I got home from meeting with ya'll I had to clean all of the dog nose snot off of my windows. My little miniture dachshunds had a field day smelling back there where he stayed (the dog I mean).

 

[David Saulque]

It still looks like a mess, the rain did not help. That's the type of job that you can't win for trying. He needs a new roof at the bare minimum plus-plus-plus. What size hood 24 ft.-what type of food?

 

[David Saulque]

I got to hand it to ya, you did it the right way, but the rain didn't help your after shots.

 

[RustyACE]

4 hoods all total. 1 Type II over a baking oven. No filters, no fire suppression system, just stove pipe rivoted together. Cleaned this one quick as to not make a huge mess with leakage. Surprisingly had no leakage at all.

2nd, 3rd and 4th all in a long row with 6 to 8 filters each so I would have to say about 36 to 40 ft. Fryers, char grill, stove mainly.

Took me about 4 hours to clean the system, one person of course.

Liked my work so much have already gotten referrals.

The 1st set of pics are before/after of the chargrill and it was in very bad shape. Required scraping and then steam cleaning. The bottom hasn't been cleaned yet in this pic. I cleaned it after I went downstairs and cleaned upward.

2nd set of pics below are before/after cleaning of the fryer ductwork. It wasn't in too bad of shape.

 

[RustyACE]

Actually, the after shot was taken before the deluge rain storm. After the rain storm, there was 6" of rain water back up there.

It was difficult pushing water 6 feet across up hill so that I could wet-vac it over the edge.

Took persistence, 3 bottles of gatorade and a bottle of water.

Not to mention that I ususally work at night and I got sunburned. I wanted to clean this roof Friday night, but somebody didn't want me to. So I cooked like a lobster today on that hot roof.

 

[David Saulque]

Get a helper and cut your time by 2 hours-have we talked about this in the past? Sorry guys-just had to say it. No filters-what about 96 and those wonder codes-local and State.

[cgibson]

Not bad work but David is right - a helper would have saved you hours..maybe years considering skin cancer

I'm impressed that you can go out and do all that work and then get on the computer and post all these photos.

I'd be home in bed.
