SERVPRO Technicians Can Inspect and Clean HVAC Systems at your Westwood Workplace

Large commercial buildings tend to have powerful heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to regulate temperature and humidity in the building. These labyrinthine networks often connect all rooms and spaces across a commercial. In the event of a fire, HVAC systems can often work against the building by transporting hot smoke from one area into other areas of the premises. Fire restoration technicians focus on HVAC systems when conducting commercial restoration to prevent the spreading of soot or ash before, during, and after cleaning. While it is not always necessary to clean ducts in fire repair, it is vital to inspect them for potential damages. Our team can help your business with:

• Duct cleaning
• Fire debris removal
• HVAC inspection after a fire

HVAC cleaning is frequently required for moderate to heavy commercial fire damage restoration in Westwood. The fire department usually cuts the main power to the building in a fire, so it is common for HVAC systems not to be in use during a fire. However, turning off circulation does not preclude the chances of smoke or ash entering ducts. The pressure created by high temperatures can force soot or smoke through return or supply-side ducts of your air-conditioning unit. SERVPRO technicians can also assess whether subcontractors are needed to fix an HVAC system damaged by fire. 

• Sheet metal ducts can usually be cleaned easily. Ducts lined with insulation often require the removal and replacement of insulation inside ducts.
• We can professionally disassemble HVAC systems to allow ductwork or systems deep cleaning.
• Sealing a duct before deodorizing it with thermal fogging equipment may be necessary if part of the HVAC is impossible to clean or disassemble normally.
