Institutional Kitchen Hood Cleaning

Correctional facilities, government agency cafeterias, shelters, residential treatment centers, and public-sector feeding operations across TX, OK, LA, NM, and AR rely on Facilitec Southwest for NFPA 96–compliant exhaust cleaning under strict security protocols, tight public budgets, and audit-ready documentation standards.

High-Volume Feeding. No Margin For Failure.

An institutional kitchen feeds hundreds or thousands of meals a day on a public budget, under strict security protocols, to a population that literally cannot miss a meal. A county jail, a residential treatment center, a state agency cafeteria, and a community shelter all share the same operating reality — the kitchen runs because it has to, the documentation satisfies public audit, and the contractor either respects the protocol or doesn't come back. Facilitec Southwest has served this segment for three decades.

Why Institutional Kitchens Are A Unique Fire Risk

Regular exhaust 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.
