According to NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association): Commercial, industrial, and healthcare facilities should have their air ducts and system inspected every year. Additionally, it is recommended that new and existing HVAC systems that are part of a construction, retrofit, or remodel project be inspected and verified as clean before the system is permitted to operate.

It is important to understand that contaminated air ducts may not be the only cause of increased dust deposits or illness. Be sure to explore all possible causes with your doctor and speak to professionals when examining your environment. Below are signs that your air duct system may need to be cleaned: - Furniture seems to be attracting more dust and dirt than usual. - Occupants frequently suffer from colds, asthma, allergies, or other symptoms of respiratory illness. - Possible microbial growth or mildew on parts of your system. - Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the property from your supply registers.

Our skilled technicians will perform a thorough inspection and assessment to determine the extent of the damage. We build an estimate and scope of work to make use of specialized processes and start restoring the affected areas immediately. The first step is to remove any traces of standing water. If left unaddressed, the residual moisture, combined with humidity, can lead to mold and mildew growth. The moist and damp environment is stabilized by using large air dehumidifiers and air movers to extract moisture that can cause further growth of mold and mildew. Fresh and dry air is used to stabilize and further dry the environment. Carpets and flooring are either disinfected or replaced, and all surfaces are cleaned and dried. Our construction teams can come in after the restoration process has been completed to make any necessary repairs.

Mold requires moisture and a food source to grow. Thus, it’s very important to stop the source of water. Do not disturb the growth, or try to remove mold yourself – as this may cause spores to become airborne and spread to unaffected areas. Do not apply direct air movement from fans or your HVAC system to the growth. If you believe your property may be experiencing issues related to mold, contact a professional mold remediation company for further evaluation.

Do not walk on a damaged carpet, or sit on upholstered furniture unless absolutely necessary. Turn off the HVAC system so it won’t distribute soot and odor further throughout your property. Do not attempt to wipe or wash walls or other absorbents/porous surfaces.

You have a choice when choosing a company to restore your home or business facility. When an emergency strikes, it is imperative to begin the restoration process as soon as possible to minimize the amount of damage done to your structure and belongings. We recommend that you contact your insurance company, and then a professional restoration company for immediate recovery assistance.
