Concourse concessions, airline clubs, and terminal food courts can't afford a grease fire — or a failed inspection. Facilitec Southwest provides badged, overnight, NFPA 96–compliant hood cleaning for airports across TX, OK, LA, NM & AR.
Airport kitchens never stop. Red-eye travelers, rushed layovers, and 18-hour concession schedules mean exhaust hoods accumulate grease faster than nearly any other commercial setting. When that grease ignites, consequences multiply fast — evacuated gates, diverted flights, triggered suppression systems, and federal-level reporting. Facilitec Southwest keeps that risk off the runway with specialized airport hood cleaning designed for security-controlled, always-open environments.
Regular hood cleaning dramatically reduces your risk by keeping flammable grease out of the exhaust system and ensuring your suppression system can perform properly during an emergency.
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.
Your rooftop is just as vulnerable as your hood. Facilitec Southwest installs and maintains rooftop grease containment systems to stop leaks, protect roofing materials, and prevent costly repairs.
High-volume concourse kitchens (fryer-heavy QSRs, 24-hour operations): monthly. Airline clubs and moderate-use restaurants: quarterly. Employee kitchens or low-use catering stations: semi-annually. Your exact cadence is driven by cooking volume and your local AHJ’s schedule.
