Facilitec-Southwest™ was originally started as a subdivision of Steamaway™, Inc in 1995. As the company grew and the demand for the service increased it became very apparent that a new company should be formed that solely focused its efforts on the food service industry. So in April of 2004 Facilitec Southwest officially became an independent operation that is certified by the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association, IKECA and the Power Washers of North America, PWNA to perform kitchen exhaust cleaning services.
