Fire & Water - Cleanup & Restoration

Are your ducts in a row?

5/22/2015 (Permalink)

Did you know, your ventilation system is often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality?  Inspecting the ductwork in your facility or home should be a high priority.  In most cases, the HVAC system has been operating for some time without much attention.  Dirty ducts can circulate odors, contaminant such as mold, and irritating dust throughout your building or home.

A routine part of your local SERVPRO Franchise Professional's service is inspecting the heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit.  (HVAC).  Keeping the HVAC system and ductwork clean can potentially extend the life span of the equipment by allowing it to operate at peak condition, which may save you money.  Duct cleaning may not always be necessary.  

In some circumstances, such as after fire, smoke or suspected mold growth, duct cleaning becomes an essential part of the cleanup process.

THE PROCESS:

The process begins by using patented equipment including a ror-scraper, which automatically adapts to the duct's shape and diameter while traveling through the duct, removing debris and filth before vacuumining begins.

Next, a powerful push-pull air delivery and collection system transfers the debris from teh ducting to a 16-gallon container.

Air is filtered through a HEPA filtration system, removing 99.97 percent of the particles in teh airstream.  HEPA filters capture debris and keep the indoor environment clean.

As an optional process, a sealant or coating product may be sprayed to address odor or microbial concerns.

Filters will either be cleaned or replaced to remove odor and dirt.
