Protect your business, employees, and customers with NFPA 96–compliant* hood and exhaust system cleaning across TX, OK, LA, NM, and AR.
Oklahoma City has a large and growing restaurant and hospitality market, with commercial kitchens operating throughout the city and surrounding Oklahoma County communities. Major dining and entertainment districts such as Bricktown, Midtown, the Plaza District, and the Paseo Arts District help drive steady restaurant traffic across OKC.
Busy commercial kitchens produce grease-laden vapor that moves through the hood, ductwork, and exhaust fan system during daily cooking operations. Without routine kitchen exhaust cleaning, grease can build up inside the system, increasing fire risk and creating problems during inspections and code compliance reviews.
Because Oklahoma City serves a broad mix of restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and institutional foodservice facilities, routine kitchen exhaust cleaning and NFPA 96 compliance are essential for safer kitchen operations throughout the OKC area. Oklahoma City’s active dining scene across multiple districts reinforces the need for consistent exhaust system maintenance across the market.
Facilitec Southwest does not treat Oklahoma City as a “remote city.” We operate structured routes and after-hours deployments into the Houston metro every week.

Oklahoma City is growing fast. From the energy-sector corporate campuses downtown to the restaurants in Bricktown and the events at Paycom Center and the OKC Convention Center, commercial kitchens operate at high volume year-round.
Failure to comply can result in violations during Oklahoma City Fire Department inspections.
Inspectors review grease accumulation, hood integrity, fan condition, access panels, and documentation. Citations issued for excessive grease.
Provides statewide oversight. State-level inspections may occur in hospitals, schools, or state-owned facilities.
Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning (KEC) is the process of removing grease from the entire exhaust airflow system. This is not just surface cleaning. True hood & duct cleaning eliminates grease from hidden areas where fires spread.
Grease vapor rises during cooking. As it cools, it condenses inside ducts and on exhaust fan components. Over time:
Without regular commercial kitchen fire prevention measures, a small stovetop flame can become a structural fire.
NFPA 96 is the national standard governing ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations. Requirements include:
Oklahoma’s wind and dust contribute to rooftop fan contamination. When grease mixes with debris, it accelerates buildup and restricts airflow.
Storm events can damage fan hinges or containment systems. Post-storm inspections are critical for fire safety.
High customer volume = increased fry and grill production = accelerated grease accumulation.
Produces heavy smoke and grease vapor. Charbroilers and smokers require more frequent hood & duct cleaning.
Parks near Scissortail Park operate in compact spaces with high grease output and limited ventilation.
Remove heavy grease from the entire exhaust system.
Apply industry-leading cleaning agents, then pressure wash to remove remaining residue.
Repeat as needed until clean and compliant, then apply your service sticker and documentation.
Our primary goal is ensuring your system meets NFPA 96 standards and passes fire inspections.
We service most kitchens overnight to eliminate operational downtime for your business.

Kitchen hood cleaning protects your facility, staff, and customers—it protects your business. Over time, cooking oils and vapors are pulled into the exhaust system, leaving flammable residue that can cause fires. Facilitec Southwest provides specialized, NFPA 96–compliant cleaning that removes built-up grease and keeps your kitchen fire-safe and inspection-ready.
Our maintenance program combines hood cleaning and rooftop grease containment into one convenient plan. We’ll set the perfect schedule, handle reminders, and offer monthly billing options so you can stay compliant without the hassle.
Most OKC restaurants require cleaning every 3–6 months depending on cooking volume. High-volume charbroiling or 24-hour operations typically require quarterly service under NFPA 96 standards enforced by the Oklahoma City Fire Department.
The Oklahoma City Fire Department Fire Prevention Division conducts inspections. The Oklahoma State Fire Marshal provides additional oversight for certain facilities such as hospitals and state-owned properties.
Yes. Oklahoma City adopts fire codes referencing NFPA 96. Restaurants must clean their entire exhaust system to bare metal and maintain service documentation to pass inspections.
Operators may receive a violation notice and re-inspection deadline. Continued non-compliance can result in fines, operational restrictions, or temporary closure.
Costs depend on system size, grease levels, duct length, and cooking type. High-grease BBQ or charbroiler kitchens typically require more labor than low-volume operations.
Yes. Food trucks with commercial cooking equipment must maintain exhaust systems according to NFPA 96 guidelines and local fire code requirements.
Yes, in certain facilities such as healthcare, educational, or state-run buildings, the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal may inspect or oversee compliance.
Most systems require 3–6 hours depending on size and access. Larger multi-duct systems may require extended service time.
Professional grease removal reduces the fuel source inside ducts. While no system eliminates all risk, full kitchen exhaust cleaning significantly lowers fire spread potential.
Yes. True commercial hood cleaning includes exhaust fan cleaning and rooftop discharge areas to meet NFPA 96 inspection compliance standards.
Cooking oils and vapors build up in the exhaust hood, ductwork, and fan system. Regular cleaning removes that residue before it ignites.
Yes. Every job meets or exceeds NFPA 96 standards. You’ll receive documentation and service stickers for inspections.
Absolutely. We schedule after-hours or overnight cleaning to minimize disruption.
Yes. We hand-scrape and pressure wash the entire system—hood, filters, ducts, and fan assembly.
Yes. We can combine your hood cleaning with rooftop grease containment and surface cleaning on a single schedule.
