Services
HVAC Cleaning
Our HVAC cleaning service removes contaminants from ductwork, air handlers, and coils to improve indoor air quality and system efficiency. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums and advanced techniques like liquid nitrogen cleaning to ensure thorough removal of debris and microbial growth. This service helps maintain compliance with industry standards while reducing energy consumption and extending equipment lifespan.
Kitchen Exhaust Maintenance
We provide comprehensive kitchen exhaust system maintenance to prevent fire hazards and ensure compliance with NFPA 96 standards. Our certified technicians clean hoods, ductwork, and fans while installing proper access panels for ongoing maintenance. This service includes pollution control unit maintenance and rooftop grease containment solutions to protect both equipment and building infrastructure.
Fire Damper Testing
Our fire damper testing service ensures compliance with NFPA 80 and 105 standards through thorough inspections and documentation. Using smartphone technology for mapping and status tracking, we provide organized digital records that integrate with facility maintenance systems. This critical service maintains building safety while meeting regulatory requirements for commercial and healthcare facilities.
Indoor Air Quality Assessments
Our Phase One IAQ assessments identify air quality issues through comprehensive evaluations of thermal comfort, contaminant sources, and system performance. Using robotic imaging and dust measurement technologies, we diagnose problems and develop targeted remediation plans. This service helps maintain healthy indoor environments while addressing both immediate concerns and underlying causes.
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation service addresses contamination in ventilation systems and building environments. We implement containment protocols and use specialized cleaning techniques to remove mold while preventing cross-contamination. Working with industrial hygienists, we develop comprehensive solutions that address both visible mold growth and underlying moisture issues to prevent recurrence.
Questions
Why is kitchen exhaust cleaning important?
Regular cleaning removes grease buildup that poses fire hazards and ensures compliance with NFPA 96 standards for commercial kitchens.
How often should HVAC systems be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on system usage and environment, but regular maintenance improves air quality and system efficiency.
What are the benefits of robotic imaging surveys?
Robotic imaging allows precise assessment of ductwork contamination levels and verification of cleaning effectiveness without invasive procedures.
Why test fire dampers regularly?
Regular testing ensures proper operation during emergencies, meeting NFPA requirements and maintaining building life safety compliance.
How does coil cleaning save energy?
Clean coils reduce static pressure, improve heat transfer efficiency, and lower energy consumption for HVAC systems.
What makes healthcare ventilation different?
Healthcare facilities require specialized containment protocols, infection control measures, and compliance with strict regulatory standards.
