Commercial Kitchen Service
Refrigeration holding above 41°F and a dishmachine that won't hit 180°F are among the most common health-code violations — and both are equipment repairs. We get your cold-holding and warewashing verified and compliant before the inspector arrives.

The short answer
Health Inspection Equipment Prep in Paramus typically runs $250–$900 — the $125 diagnostic is credited toward the repair. Most jobs finish same-day in one visit with genuine OEM parts, backed by a 90-Day Parts & Labor Warranty. For down equipment we run 24/7 emergency service. Call (914) 350-6776.
A large share of health-code violations are equipment problems, not procedure problems: cold-holding units (reach-ins, walk-ins and prep tables) running above 41°F, and warewashing machines failing to sanitize because a high-temp dishmachine won't reach a 180°F final rinse or a low-temp machine isn't dispensing sanitizer. Both are repairs, and both are verifiable on site with a thermometer or test strip. Getting ahead of an inspection — or fixing what an inspector just flagged — protects your grade, your reputation, and in the worst case your license.
We check the equipment an inspector checks. On cold-holding we verify actual food and box temperatures, restore any unit running warm, and confirm prep-table rails hold pans below 41°F. On warewashing we test the sanitizing final-rinse temperature or sanitizer concentration, delime and repair the booster or dispensing system as needed, and verify compliance on a thermometer or test strip. We document what we corrected for your records.
Bergen County's hard water is a quiet compliance threat: it scales dishmachine boosters and rinse jets, slowly dropping the final-rinse temperature below sanitizing until an inspector catches it. Building deliming into warewashing service — and verifying the temperature on a thermometer — keeps you compliant between inspections, not just on the day.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
An inspector flagged our dishmachine for low sanitizing temperature. Can you fix it fast?
Yes — that's usually a failed booster element or contactor, or heavy scale insulating the element. We delime, repair the booster circuit, and verify the machine reaches its 180°F sanitizing final rinse on a thermometer, often same-day.
Our prep-table rail keeps getting written up for warm pans. Why?
Rail food above 41°F is a frequent violation caused by blocked rail airflow, overfilled pans, a weak evaporator fan, or a drain issue. We restore cold-air flow across the rail and verify pan temperatures so it holds compliant.
Can you do a pre-inspection equipment check?
Yes. We verify cold-holding temperatures across your refrigeration and test your dishmachine's sanitizing performance, repair anything out of spec, and document the corrections — so there are no surprises when the inspector arrives.
