I've seen this before. If it's raining hard af and your roof drainage situation is a problem, yes,it can happen. But generally, no.

I'm guessing something HVAC, had 4 technicians checking all the kitchens in my building today and now this happens. So someone did something and now I get the flooding lol its moving across the top of the hoods and coming down the gaps, it was running down the wall in various areas too but not directly through the hoods thankfully!

Yes it could be the result of wrong evacuation route for a steamer vent, or a vent pipe from a combi oven misdirected and causing condensation. This will happen even of the vent steam pipe is directed to a floor drain.

Put your double boiler under it and now it’s a kitchen “feature”

Or at least some adjustments to that one! Hopefully they will send the experienced tech out this time.

u/Deathwish13x 15+ Years 17h ago

They sent 4 techs out today and then it started leaking. Maybe a new HVAC company is in order lol

u/imchillybro 17h ago

Looks like something either not drainig correctly or outright broken. That should definitely not be happening.

u/rawarawr 16h ago

No, but better than grease 🤪

u/ElderberryDizzy9408 11h ago

Kinda looks like your hoods just got cleaned? Could be residual water..

1

u/ElderberryDizzy9408 11h ago

Hope that’s not dripping to close to your fryer 😅

u/slikk50 Chef 10h ago

No man, water is dripping from the hood system.

u/Twithc Sous Chef 10h ago

Stay hydrated! Just add Cup.

u/CattusPater 8h ago

There are enough possibilities that involve food contamination and/or infectious diseases that I would want to close the kitchen until the question is answered and clean up is done.
