Why is it important to clean air ducts after a fire?

Soot is the natural byproduct of a fire. Produced when materials don't burn completely, soot is made up of dangerous compounds. During a fire, air currents push soot up and into the ductwork. This damage is hidden within the ducts—making it hard for a property owner to identify. Commercial duct cleaning removes soot from air ducts, preventing it from circulating throughout the property.

How often should my commercial HVAC ducts be cleaned?

Ducts should be cleaned following any disaster where a property was impacted by fire, smoke, or water. This includes water damage from fire suppression efforts or natural disasters.

Does air duct cleaning work to restore a property?

Yes. Professional air duct cleaning successfully removes debris from a disaster or restoration project. It is just one step in the restoration process.
