After a fire, animals or smoking in a home, or just years of the ductwork in a building never being cleaned, it can create a very dirty environment. Even when a furnace or air conditioning filter is replaced on a regular basis, dirt and dust can accumulate in the ductwork. Harmful bacteria, viruses, mold, animal hair, animal dander, and dust can only be removed by a thorough duct cleaning. Poor indoor air quality is common with houses being constructed with a more airtight environment. Bacteria in a home or commercial building will make the occupants repeatedly ill with sinus and breathing problems.
Reputable duct cleaning contractors will utilize the standardized methods established by the National Air Duct Cleaning Association. These guidelines cover the cleaning of the registers, filters, plenums, air handlers and several other areas.

The cleaning will involve the contractor using negative pressure. A large portable vacuum truck will park outside that will suck the dirt and debris out. Before that can begin a technician will cut an access panel to insert the vacuum hose. They will seal any gap between the hose and the area they opened. The return air and treated air travel through two different sets of ductwork and both should be cleaned. Even though the vacuum is very powerful, a technician will use brushes and compressed air tools to push the dirt into the vacuum system.
A home or commercial building can easily accumulate dirt and harmful bacteria. A building that’s suffered smoke damage will definitely need to have their ductwork cleaned to eliminate the soot, smoke, and smell. Attempting to clean the ductwork with a regular vacuum will not remove the harmful things that lurk inside. A Professional Fire Restoration Service offers the duct cleaning services that every home and commercial building need to improve the air quality within their environment.
