Kitchen Exhaust Column Cleaning in Apartment Buildings

Kitchen Exhaust Column Cleaning in Apartment Buildings

In many apartment buildings, kitchen fumes are extracted through shared vertical ventilation shafts that connect multiple units to a central exhaust system. Over time, these ducts accumulate grease, dust, and smoke particles, leading to persistent odors, fire hazards, and poor airflow efficiency.

At Servilar, we provide professional cleaning of kitchen exhaust columns in residential buildings and condominiums, using specialized equipment that removes greasy buildup — with or without needing access to individual apartments.

Common problems caused by dirty exhaust columns

• Lingering food odors in hallways or living spaces

• Grease dripping from vents or grills

• Reduced airflow and poor extraction performance

• High fire risk in case of sparks or overheating

• Insect infestations (e.g., cockroaches) attracted to grease residues

How we perform the service

• Initial inspection (video camera if required)

• Access via ceiling vents, technical panels, or exhaust boxes

• Use of rotary brushes with active degreasing foam

• High-powered vacuum extraction with grease particle filters

• Optional technical report for building administrators or condo boards

Recommended cleaning frequency

Cleaning should be carried out:

• Once or twice a year, depending on usage

• Whenever residents report odors or visible grease issues

• After kitchen renovations or before tenant changeovers

Servilar helps keep your building’s kitchen ventilation system clean, safe, and fully functional.
