Total HV/AC Duct System Cleaning
The heating and air conditioning system ducts are generally the first
items cleaned and checked following a water or fire damage emergency.
Because the system is usually on during the event, it can work to spread
soot, smoke, or bacteria throughout the structure—making prompt corrective
action imperative.
In general, a professional cleaning and deodorizing treatment is both
less costly and more time-saving than system replacement, therefore minimizing
property losses.
Crystal Restoration Services offers complete repair and restoration
of residential and commercial HV/AC systems following puff-backs, boiler
explosions, fires, floods, and similar emergencies.
- To prevent further contamination, the air duct system is first
back-sealed, the air handling unit is turned off, and filtering material
placed over all registers and return vents.
- If water damage is a problem, the system is pre-fogged with a
specially formulated Crystal Restoration Services fungicide. This kills
any mold or mildew that may be present and minimizes the risk of recontamination.
- Once the system has been purged of all soot that can be physically
removed, a special polymer sealer is fogged throughout the ductwork
to ensure that no further fallout occurs. Deodorizers are then forced
through the system to remove any lingering odors.
- Finally, filter covers are removed and new filters installed. (If
there is a possibility of recontamination, Crystal Restoration Services’
crews will install additional filtering devices in the register areas
and return vents until reconstruction and total restoration of the
building is complete.)
