FAQs
What does a commercial kitchen hood cleaning include?
Facilitec Southwest cleans the complete exhaust system from cooktop to rooftop, covering the hood interior and plenum, ductwork through every access panel, the exhaust fan, and the rooftop discharge. The process runs from hand scraping and system preparation, through degreasing and hot water pressure washing, to a final inspection and documentation.
What documentation do you leave behind after a service?
Every service includes stickers, photo documentation, and compliance reports. Facilitec Southwest places a service label on the hood with the service date, the name of the Phil Ackland Certified Technician who performed the work, and company contact information, adds service tags at opened access panels, and provides a written cleaning report along with before-and-after photographs.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes. Facilitec Southwest uses Phil Ackland Certified Technicians who follow NFPA 96, 2024 Edition guidelines for cleaning and inspection of grease buildup and perform the work under the qualified-person rule in Section 12.6.1.
Can you work outside our operating hours?
Yes. The After Hours Service mobilizes Phil Ackland Certified Technicians outside business hours, overnight or during closure days, to fit the operator's closure window. The Key Access Program offers secure after-hours access options that make scheduled hood cleaning easier and more consistent.
