Current Specials & Published Starting Prices
Most industrial cleaning contractors make you chase a quote for weeks and hope you never compare bids. We publish our starting prices, because a facility manager building next year's maintenance budget deserves a real number up front. Commercial air duct cleaning starts from $1,375. Kitchen exhaust hood cleaning starts from $599 per cleaning. Cooling tower cleaning and food plant sanitation carry a $1,375 minimum engagement, and dry ice blasting projects start at a $2,000 minimum engagement. Everything else gets a free estimate with a firm quote after a site assessment — and travel is factored into every quote, never added as a surcharge. When we run a limited offer on a service line or market, it's posted on our specials page — check what's running now.

Five Specialized Cleaning Disciplines. One Accountable Contractor.
Most vendors sell one method. Service-Tech puts five specialized disciplines under a single contract, a single point of contact, and a single safety program — so facility managers stop juggling a duct vendor, a hood vendor, a tower vendor, and a blasting sub on the same site. Fewer vendors means fewer insurance reviews, fewer site inductions, fewer scheduling collisions — and one contractor who owns the outcome.

When Production Stops, Every Hour Counts
Unplanned shutdowns are where cleaning contractors earn their keep or reveal their limits. When a line goes down, a dust collector chokes, or an inspector red-tags a system, you don't need a janitorial crew — you need an industrial contractor that can mobilize technicians, containment, and specialized equipment fast. Service-Tech provides rapid emergency response for unplanned shutdowns and turnaround windows across our full service footprint.
Our flagship method for production environments is dry ice blasting: a non-abrasive, no-moisture, no-secondary-waste process that cleans production equipment, electrical components, and food-contact surfaces without water, solvents, or grit — which means less teardown, less drying time, and a faster return to production. It's one reason plants that once hired three vendors now hire one.
We also plan the other direction: scheduled outage and turnaround cleaning, scoped in advance so your maintenance window is spent cleaning — not mobilizing. Before your window opens, we walk the site, agree a written scope of work, and stage crews and equipment against your schedule. When the line stops, we're already moving — and when the window closes, you get documentation of exactly what was cleaned, to what condition.
That combination — a rapid-response phone number for the bad days and a planned program for the rest of the year — is what separates an industrial cleaning partner from a vendor you found in a panic. Most facilities that call us once for an emergency end up putting the whole program on a schedule, because the math favors prevention every time.
Serving Six Markets From Four Staffed Offices

- OH · FL · ARMulti-state coverage
Service-Tech crews dispatch from staffed offices in Cleveland (headquarters, since 1960), Columbus (since ~1980), Dayton (since ~1980), and Tampa (since 1980), and serve the Tallahassee area (since 2023) and Pine Bluff, Arkansas area (since 2024). Every office covers a 150-mile service radius, so one contract can cover a multi-site portfolio across three states. Local dispatch isn't a detail — it's response time when a shutdown call comes in, and it's crews who already know the region's plants, campuses, and inspectors.

That footprint matters in practice: a facility director with a plant outside Cleveland, a distribution hub near Columbus, and a processing site in the Florida Panhandle can run one vendor relationship — same documented procedures, same safety program, same standard of documentation at every site. And because travel is factored into every quote rather than billed as a surcharge, a facility 90 miles from the nearest office isn't a second-class account.

- One vendor, four mechanical disciplines. Ducts, hoods, towers, and blasting under one contract — while most Ohio competitors sell a single service line.
- Rope access instead of scaffolding. High-elevation cleaning without the cost and schedule hit of scaffold builds or lift rentals — a capability almost no regional industrial cleaner offers.
- Proven at scale. 100,000+ facilities serviced since 1960, with a 4.9 rating across 111 Google reviews.
More on what sets us apart, and the industries we serve — from manufacturing and food processing to healthcare, data centers, and campuses. Every vertical cleans under a different rulebook — NFPA 96 in kitchens, combustible-dust housekeeping in plants, ventilation hygiene in hospitals — and we scope to the standard that governs yours, then hand you the documentation that proves it was met.

Five Disciplines, Five Different Physical Processes
- Air ducts and HVAC. Brushes and compressed-air whips agitate the interior surface while the system is held under continuous negative pressure, so contamination is dislodged and extracted at the same time rather than pushed downstream. A shedding fibreglass liner is encapsulated or replaced.
- Cooling towers. Cells are isolated and drained, basin sediment brushed out, the loop dosed and circulated, then fill and nozzles jetted. Mineral scale has to be descaled; biofilm has to be physically stripped. They are two different jobs.
- Kitchen exhaust. Electrical is locked out, then crews scrape and degrease the whole path from hood plenum to rooftop fan. NFPA 96 requires bare metal, not a wipe-down.
- Industrial and combustible dust. Conductive vacuums bonded and grounded to the equipment; hydroblasting where residue has hardened; and any vessel or pit purged, permitted and continuously monitored before entry. Compressed-air blowdown is prohibited for combustible dust.
- Rope access and dry ice. Technicians descend on two independently anchored ropes to reach what no lift can, and dry ice pellets sublimate on impact to lift deposits off equipment without water, grit or a waste stream.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Service-Tech Corporation clean?
We're a specialized commercial and industrial cleaning contractor — not a janitorial service. Our five disciplines are industrial plant cleaning (including dry ice blasting and combustible dust removal), commercial air duct cleaning, cooling tower cleaning, kitchen exhaust hood cleaning, and rope access cleaning for high-elevation work.
How much does commercial cleaning from Service-Tech cost?
Commercial air duct cleaning starts from $1,375, and kitchen exhaust hood cleaning starts from $599 per cleaning. Cooling tower cleaning and food plant sanitation carry a $1,375 minimum engagement, and dry ice blasting starts at a $2,000 minimum. Every other service is quoted free after a site assessment, with travel factored into the quote.
What areas does Service-Tech serve?
We serve a 150-mile radius from every office: Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton in Ohio; Tampa and the Tallahassee area in Florida; and the Pine Bluff area in Arkansas. One contract can cover facilities across all three states.
Can Service-Tech respond to an unplanned shutdown?
Yes. We provide rapid emergency response for unplanned shutdowns, failed inspections, and contamination events. Call 440-735-1505 and we'll mobilize technicians and equipment as quickly as the scope allows.
Is Service-Tech a certified or accredited contractor?
Service-Tech has been a NADCA member since 1990 and is an IKECA member for kitchen exhaust cleaning. Our elevated work is performed on redundant two-rope systems backed by a documented fall-protection training program.
What is dry ice blasting, and why do plants prefer it?
Dry ice blasting propels food-grade CO2 pellets that sublimate on impact — lifting contamination without water, solvents, abrasive grit, or secondary waste. That means production equipment, electrical panels, and food-contact surfaces can be cleaned in place with minimal teardown and faster return to production.
How far in advance should we schedule outage or turnaround cleaning?
As early as your outage date is firm — planned windows fill fastest during spring and fall turnaround seasons. Early scheduling lets us walk the site, write a scope of work, and stage equipment so your window is spent cleaning rather than mobilizing.
What happens if we skip scheduled cleaning?
Deferred cleaning compounds: grease accumulations become fire-code violations under NFPA 96, dust accumulations become combustible-dust hazards, fouled towers invite Legionella risk, and dirty air systems degrade air quality and equipment efficiency. A scheduled program is almost always cheaper than the shutdown, citation, or remediation that follows neglect.
