Don’t Let Water Damage Stop Your Business | SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights and Downtown San Antonio

10/20/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Alamo Heights & Downtown San Antonio is your commercial restoration company. We are here to help clean up & get you back in business!

If you suffer water damage to your building or commercial property, the impact and fallout can be catastrophic.

Water troubles can come from a variety of sources! Burst pipes or a leaky roof can ruin your inventory or warp your floors, or the damage could come from a faulty sewer or sprinkler system. There are many ways that water can affect your livelihood.

We are also at risk of water damage that comes from natural sources! If the San Antonio River overflows, we could experience a flash flooding situation or standing water in our basements. Regardless of how the water damage occurred, it is never a fun experience to live through and recover from.

<h2your-building">Understand Your Building

Do you know where your water shutoff valves are around your building and property? This ensures that you can stop a problem as soon as you discover the issue.

This knowledge should be shared with anyone who will be responsible for your business while you are not there, including managers or other leadership staff.

<h2kinds-of-water">Different Kinds of Water

Water serves many purposes during daily life, so it is important to know where the water came from to determine if it is dangerous to be around or touch without the proper safety equipment.

White water: This type of water is the kind that is typically within your plumbing and isn’t harmful to be handled in small amounts.

Gray water: Gray water resides in your sink drains and toilet tanks. It is considered contaminated but also not dangerous in small amounts.

Black water: If you have a black water problem, it means that you are suffering from a sewage backup or storm flooding issue. This water is toxic and should only be cleaned up by professionals.

<h2the-problem-right-away">Address the Problem Right Away

The first thing you need to do is shut down the water source right away. Open the windows and try to get air circulating immediately to start the drying process. Communicate with your team about the situation and close off the area until the water has been cleaned up.

Don’t forget to take pictures of any visible damage! This is important for the insurance claim process and will be useful for when you need to rebuild or repair.

<h2is-key">Patience Is Key

Even if the water dries up relatively quickly, your building could still be compromised. Your wall studs could be soaked, mold could have started to grow or your floors could be warped. All of these situations indicate hidden water damage.

If your business suffers water damage, call SERVPRO of Alamo Heights and Downtown San Antonio to ensure a quick response! Our team members are thoroughly trained in the proper way to clean up and address water issues, and we will dry out your building to get you back into action right away.

When disaster strikes your commercial property, we’ll be there to help clean up and get you back in business quickly. Reach out ²⁴⁄₇ to get started!

No matter what type of disaster you face, SERVPRO of Alamo Heights and Downtown San Antonio is only a phone call away.

Owning and running a business can be both exciting and overwhelming, and oftentimes those emotions go hand in hand! We are an independently owned and operated SERVPRO location, so we uniquely understand what it takes to have a successfully running business.

Just like you, we also have to plan for the unexpected and know how to handle natural disasters and severe weather.

While we wish that we could predict and control the weather to always be kind to us, we know that isn’t a possibility. We still can be prepared for any scenario ahead of time, though, so the impact of any weather or disaster isn’t as damaging.

If you are a business owner in the Alamo Heights area and you also live in the neighborhood, you could be unlucky enough to deal with damages to your property as well as your business. Recovering from both at the same time can seem overwhelming!

Prepping your household and your business for potential threats by creating an emergency plan can keep everyone involved in the process so the reaction to any disaster can be as smooth as possible.

In order to prepare for these potential threats, using local resources is a great place to start.

The American Red Cross operates a great website that collects resources and data points from across the country to offer ideas on how to prepare for natural disasters. In addition to that resource, we have a great resource called Texas Ready that offers great tips on how to prepare for the unexpected.

It is unfortunately likely that you will experience some sort of storm or natural disaster damages to your home or business in your lifetime. How you react to these damages can make all the difference in the world.

<h2choose-us">Why Choose Us?

We respond to each situation differently. We know that each restoration project is unique and requires different services. Our team knows how to adapt to each situation to give you the best service possible.

To use water damage as an example, more than 14 million homes are in a zone that is at risk of annual flooding. While flooding can be a major issue, it won’t affect every single home in that zone in the same way. We adjust our scale and scope for each situation and can create our restoration plan around your individual situation.

We are available day or night. We are here for you 24 hours a day. If you discover a flooded basement at 2 a.m. or accidentally start a kitchen fire at 10 p.m., we will answer your phone call.

We know that quick action is key when it comes to issues like water damage or discovering mold. Leaving the issue untreated can cause irreparable damages, so it is important to act quickly.

We offer more than just restoration services. In addition to our high quality restoration services, we take it one step further and offer our assistance in every facet of the process.

We will help you pack away your undamaged possessions while the restoration is occurring, and we can help facilitate conversations with your insurance agent to make the most out of your claim. We will take care of you in whatever way you need in order to overcome your situation as quickly as possible.

Regardless if your disaster starts at home or at your business, your local team at SERVPRO of Alamo Heights and Downtown San Antonio is here to support you. Our team of expertly trained professionals will start your cleanup quickly and get you back to normal as soon as we can.

The cost of damage that comes from natural disasters is inching up over the years in the United States. The NCEI reports that over the last few years, our country has suffered an average of $153 billion worth of damage annually. That is a significant leap compared to previous years.

In central Texas, we are no stranger to thunderstorms and tornadoes. We are right on the edge of one of the most volatile areas in the country for tornadoes!

Do you remember the tornado that touched down in Alamo Heights in February 2017? This EF-2 tornado damaged some gas stations, Carousel Court and the front of the local Edward Jones building. This system caused major damage to our area and local businesses.

When you own a business, you pour your heart and soul into that company with the expectations for it to run well. You work many hours, dedicating your time to ensure you are maintaining good business standards, finding reliable employees and keeping business rolling in.

So, the fact that a disruption like a natural disaster or an accident can ruin your business in a matter of minutes can be very scary. In fact, according to FEMA, 40% of small businesses aren’t able to reopen after a natural disaster, and a quarter of those that do reopen are forced to close within a year.

It’s important to have an effective plan in place for any emergency that may arise. Some business owners are likely to put this on the back burner, and then before you know it, it’s too later. Three-quarters of all small businesses don’t have a plan in place—and it’s past time for that to change.

We are here to help businesses in San Antonio, Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills get prepared by helping them create an Emergency Ready Plan. We work to help you evaluate any needs or concerns that pertain to your particular area or industry, then create a plan that lays out exactly what to do when disaster occurs.

Eliminate Electrical Fires on Your Commercial Property

2/10/2022 (Permalink)

Electrical fires are one of the most common types of fire that occur in commercial properties today. This is primarily because modern buildings feature copious amounts of electrical wiring in the walls for light and power. 

Commercial fire damage is always devastating for a business or commercial property. In addition to the obvious resulting fire and smoke damage, significant water damage from the firefighting process can also occur. 

At SERVPRO of Alamo Heights, our goal is to help businesses in San Antonio and surrounding areas keep their property and its occupants safe from fires. We also provide efficient fire damage restoration if a fire has already occurred.

There are certain things every business owner must be aware of to protect their property from fires. From the causes to preventative measures, our restoration experts are here to help you prepare for the worst.

Common Causes of Electrical Fires

Modern businesses rely on many electronic devices for their everyday functions. Unfortunately, this abundance of electrical wiring brings the risk of fire. Many commercial fires are the result of problems with the electrical wiring of large appliances, machinery, or electronic devices. 

Faulty or damaged equipment can also start a fire. Additionally, if a piece of equipment is being overworked, it can overheat and cause a fire.

As a building owner, you may be liable to your business partners, employees, customers, and neighbors for damage caused by fire, so it's vital that you do everything you can to protect your business and its surroundings.

The leading causes of electrical fires on commercial properties include:

• Old and defective wiring
• Overloaded circuits and short circuits 
• Faulty fuses
• Loose connections 
• Imbalanced electrical loads

Take Preventative Measures to Prevent Electrical Fires

Every business must take the proper electrical safety precautions to prevent electrical fires. Not only do electrical fires damage the building structure, but they also put everyone inside at risk of injury. 

While you can’t always predict when a fire is going to occur, you can take preventative measures to decrease its occurrence. In addition to eliminating fire hazards, there are several steps you should take to make sure your business is fully prepared to face fire disasters.  

• Develop an evacuation and fire-safety plan. Make sure all occupants are aware of the procedures.
• Regular fire drills are crucial for the safety of everyone in the building.

• Inspect fire protection systems, such as commercial-grade fire extinguishers, alarms, and sprinkler systems. Fire protection systems can help stop a fire in its tracks before it does widespread damage. 

• Fire extinguishers are a key part of your business emergency plan because they help you to effectively put out a fire before it grows. If you have an extinguisher in your business, it’s important to have it inspected and serviced regularly.
• Electrical inspections should be performed by a professional to ensure that all electrical wiring is up to code before an electrical appliance or large machinery is installed. Electrical problems can be found by conducting periodic inspections of the building, especially during or after renovations.
• Proper cleaning is also important in fire prevention. If you have clogged air filters or dust collecting vents, then you’re creating the perfect environment for a fire.

Commercial Water Damage: Everything You Need to Know

1/29/2022 (Permalink)

Commercial water damage can be a serious issue for businesses of all sizes. Leaking pipes, flooding, and other water-related disasters can cause extensive damage and disrupt business operations. If you're a business owner, it's important to be prepared for disasters and to know what to do when you need commercial damage restoration.

At SERVPRO of Alamo Heights, we are passionate about providing business owners with the proper resources needed to be prepared for and prevent water damage in their commercial properties. In order to effectively prevent water damage, you must be aware of all the potential causes of commercial water damage.

A leak, flood, or mold growth can drastically affect business operations, and may even result in business closures. If water damages have ravaged your commercial building, we are ready to help you restore your property to its original condition and protect your business from costly water damages.

Potential Causes of Commercial Water Damage

There are many causes of commercial water damage, and it's important to be aware of all potential causes in order to prevent a disaster. Potential causes include:

• Malfunctioning appliances: Water-based appliances use large volumes of water, and when they malfunction it can cause catastrophic damage. Commonly, water damage is caused in businesses when a sprinkler system goes off. Not only can water disasters cause damage and mold growth, but they can also cause electrical fire hazards. This is a major risk in businesses that use computers and other electronic devices on a daily basis.
• Leaking pipes: A broken pipe can release gallons of water in a short period of time, causing extensive damage to your property. Leaks can go undetected for long periods of time, becoming known only when the damage has already been done.
• Flooding: Floods can occur when a flash flood hits your area, or when excessive rains cause rivers and streams to overflow. San Antonio is located in Flash Flood Alley, one of the most flood-prone regions of North America. For this reason, flooding is one of the leading causes of water damage to businesses in Alamo Heights. When a flood occurs in your commercial property, it can destroy stock, supplies, and equipment.

Commercial water damage can be a serious issue for businesses of all sizes. If your property suffers a water disaster, whatever the cause may be, it's important to take action right away to minimize the damage.

The Effects of Water Damage on Businesses

Water damage can have a devastating effect on businesses. Not only does it cause physical damage to the property, but it also disrupts business operations and destroys valuable inventory and equipment. In some cases, water damage can even lead to the closure of a business, which can set any business back drastically. 

If water damage goes untreated for too long, it can lead to mold growth wherever there is moisture. This can negatively affect the air quality in your business.

We understand that your business operations are important, so we will make sure to get the job done as efficiently as possible while working around your schedule to limit interruptions.

How to Restore Your Property After a Commercial Water Damage Disaster

If your commercial property suffers a water disaster, you must take action immediately to restore it. We have the resources necessary to restore your business to its original condition, and we'll work tirelessly to get your business back on track.

Our highly trained professionals have the experience and equipment necessary to quickly restore your property to its pre-disaster condition. We are also conveniently located to quickly serve all commercial properties in San Antonio and surrounding areas.

How to Protect Your Business from Water Damage

Whether it’s a slow, hidden leak, a huge catastrophic leak, or an appliance overflow, water damage can wreak havoc on your business. Preventing water damage from occurring in your business will help you protect it from structural damage and mold growth. There are several precautions you can take to help protect it from devastating water damage.

Check your hoses and faucets that are connected to your appliances on an annual basis. This will be a preventative measure for leaks coming from your washing machine, dishwasher, or refrigerator. These large appliances use a lot of water, so a leak could be significant. When you check the hoses and faucets, look for cracks and water leaks.

Another thing you can do is install pans under your sinks. The pans will prevent damage by catching any water from small, slow, undetected leaks. If you are concerned about undetected leaks, you may want to consider investing in a water alarm. These alarms work similarly to smoke alarms, by detecting water and setting off an alarm when a water threat is detected.

If you experience water damage, call SERVPRO of Alamo Heights right away for fast and effective clean-up and restoration services. 

How to Prevent Fire Damage in Your Commercial Property

As you are probably aware, fires can quickly destroy your building. There are several things every building should be equipped with to keep fires and fire damage at bay.

For example, fire extinguishers should be kept in strategic locations throughout, and everyone in the building should know how to use them properly. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors should be installed and should be checked regularly to make sure they have fresh batteries. Having a working smoke alarm greatly reduces the chances of extreme fire damage or injuries.

In the event of a fire, call SERVPRO of Alamo Heights for timely and professional fire damage restoration and cleanup services.

Prevent Mold Growth in Your Business

Begin the new year with the certainty that your office’s indoor air quality is healthy. Air purifiers and filters can help you effectively kill mold spores to make the air cleaner.

There are several things you should look for in a high-quality air filter. True HEPA filters are the superior choice, meeting high standards of air quality maintenance put in place by the U.S. Department of Energy standards. The abbreviation HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air, and for good reason. HEPA filters are capable of removing at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and other airborne particles. 

Monitoring the indoor humidity level will also help to prevent mold growth. Investing in an effective dehumidifier may be a good idea in areas of your business that are prone to elevated humidity levels, such as bathrooms. 

If mold growth occurs, contact SERVPRO of Alamo Heights for mold remediation services.

Call SERVPRO of Alamo Heights in Your Time of Need

The experts at SERVPRO of Alamo heights utilize the highest standards of restoration and follow IICRC guidelines to ensure every job is done correctly. We're here to help you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Winter Preparation Checklist for Warm Weather Areas | SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights

12/6/2021 (Permalink)

If winter weather should bring damage to your home or business, contact SERVPRO of Alamo Height for fast, restorative solutions.

When the radio starts playing “White Christmas” and the holiday commercials start, it usually feels pretty strange with the weather being so mild.

Winter weather in San Antonio just doesn’t fit the “normal” narrative, except for last February, of course. In Alamo Heights, we’re not overly concerned with prolonged freezes, frozen pipes or snow tires—and certainly have no need for snow plows.

That said, there are still a few things that we should take care of during the winter months as a matter of preparation and prevention:

Prep your HVAC unit You’ll need your heat some in south central Texas this winter, so you’ll want to know your heating system is working well and operating safely. Having a professional come out to perform routine maintenance is a solid idea, and it can spot and remove fire hazards, too.

Take care of your home maintenance. Thankfully, we’re not normally hammered with three feet of snow over the winter like some northern and upper mid-western states. However, there are some things you can do to prepare for the cooler weather.

If you have a fireplace, double-check that the chimney is clear and free of creosote. Consider wrapping exterior water pipes to avoid a frozen pipe. Check your roof for damage and clear the gutters of all debris and obstructions as we don’t want rain water backing up and coming into the home. Watch out for critters! When the cold weather hits insects, pests, rodents and other small animals will be looking for heat and shelter; don’t let it be in your home.

Weather-proof your home Consider adding insulation to your attic and sealing your windows and doors. This will reduce cold air infiltration and help save you money on your utility bill.

Take care of your car. Make sure your car tires have acceptable tread life left, and consider new windshield wipers. While you may end up driving in ice or snow, the more likely scenario is driving in the rain. Make sure you can do it safely.

If winter weather or unexpected flooding causes water to damage your home, we’re always here to help. Contact SERVPRO to see how quick and easy it is to let the pros handle your cleanup and recovery.

Though many businesses in the area have already opened back up, it’s still difficult to navigate the waters of running a business during the pandemic.

Do You Know the First Thing You Should Do If Your San Antonio Business Is Damaged? | SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights

2/23/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Alamo knows the commercial restoration process inside and out. Here are some of our best tips in choosing the right restoration company.

If business owners learned anything from 2020, it’s that nothing is predictable—and sometimes things can happen that completely shift your business and your life.

In our case, recently, it was the worldwide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. But it can happen on a smaller scale, to a state, a community, a home or a business. Conscientious business owners likely already have a solid disaster plan and work with their employees to ensure they understand all the moving parts.

Still, it’s one thing to have a plan in place and another to see a disaster scenario unfold in your own life and business. When that happens, it can be challenging to know what to do, even if your plan is in place.

We work with business owners all the time, so we know what it takes to get your business up and running again. Here’s some of the best advice we can give business owners facing a restoration scenario.

Take the First Step

Here’s what you need to do if a disaster (like a storm, flood or fire) impacts your business:

Work your disaster plan. If you have a disaster plan in place, the first thing you need to do is implement it. Depending on your business, that might even include moving to a backup location and checking in on your employees.

Document everything. Your insurance company will want photographs and documentation of what was lost and damaged. Take them before the cleanup process starts.

Reach out to your insurance company. Your insurance company will work with you and help you throughout the process.

Stay in touch. There are a lot of people who can be impacted by your business. You’ll want to be in touch with your suppliers, your employees, your customers and your community. Social media can be an excellent tool for the wider community, but consider reaching out personally to your employees and your customers.

Take care of your needs. Going through disaster recovery is stressful. Please choose the best partners to guide you through it, and be sure you’re taking steps to manage your stress and care for yourself and your family.

If a fire, flood or any other cause damages your business, you can always count on us for restoration assistance. We have crews who are available ²⁴⁄₇ in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help you.

When your Alamo Heights business is damaged by fire, SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights is there | SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights

Cleaning your business: Property and Contents

When fire hits your business, it can conjure ideas of lost revenue from destroyed merchandise, time away from your location, all which halt revenue for your San Antonio business. When your livelihood is on the line, it is important to take quick action to stop further damage. A fire can be particularly devastating to any resell shop or other  because of the unique nature of the merchandise. Ornate wooden furniture, upholstered seating, exquisitely crafted set pieces, and books are vulnerable to retaining odor because of not only their age but because they are made of porous materials. It is crucial to get valuable items out of the affected environment as quickly and carefully as possible.

What to Do After Your Business Is Impacted by a Disaster | SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights

10/29/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Alamo is your go-to in case a disaster occurs. Get in touch with us to learn more.

Having a disaster occur is always a frightening experience, but if that disaster impacts the business you have worked hard to build, it can be extremely disheartening. While disasters can often derail businesses permanently, there are a few things that business owners can do in order to lessen their impact.

While you hopefully already have an emergency plan to keep everyone safe in the moment a disaster strikes, it is also important to consider how to begin implementing your recovery strategy. Planning for the continuity of your business is key to getting your doors reopened as quickly as possible so that you are able to get back to business.

Implementing Your Business’ Disaster Recovery Plan

Get in touch with your insurance and restoration companies. Depending on the type of insurance you have and the type of disaster that occurred, you may be able to claim some or all of the damages with your provider. It is important to contact both them and your chosen restoration company right away to get the process of recovery started—and in many cases, your restoration company will be able to work directly with your insurance company if you are able to make a claim.

Implement your customer communication strategy. Your customers will want to hear from you after a disaster, so it is important to have a customer communication strategy to implement as soon as you can. Inform customers of closures, changes in operating hours and any other relevant information regarding your recovery timeline so they know what to expect (and when they can start supporting you again).

Look into your options for disaster recovery assistance. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has many resources available for disaster assistance for business owners. The loans they provide are typically low interest with flexible repayment schedules, so you can get the financial assistance you may need to keep your business afloat. These loans can be used both for the restoration of physical damage as well as an economic injury due to a loss of income in many cases.

If your business has been damaged due to a disaster, we’re here to help. Contact us at any hour to report your damage or to learn more about our commercial restoration services.

Responsible Recommendations from the CDC

4/30/2020 (Permalink)

Even our mascots Stormy and Blaze are ready to help with cleaning and disinfecting!

An easy way to help protect you and your family's health is to follow the CDC's guidelines for protecting yourself and others from COVID-19.

The CDC's suggestions are:

• Wash your hands often
  
  • With soap and water for at least 20 seconds
  • With hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol
• Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
• Avoid close contact with others
  
  • When you have to be around others, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth mask
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or by using the inside of your elbow

And just like SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights,

• Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces

This is why when we perform our proactive cleaning services we use a two step process. We clean using a detergent, and then disinfect using an anti-viral solution.

If you have any questions about our proactive cleaning services, please contact us today!

Risk Management for Small Business Owners | SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights

12/23/2019 (Permalink)

For small business owners, natural disasters can be extremely high-stakes. Not only is there the direct danger that comes from the disaster, but there is also the risk to their business and livelihood in the aftermath. With natural disasters becoming increasingly common across the country if you have not thought about how to prepare for a disaster, now is a good time to do so.

Identifying and managing risk as well as preparing for the aftermath of a natural disaster that affects your business is a wise choice to ensure you are doing everything you can to protect your investment.

Preparing Your Business for Floods | SERVPRO® of Alamo Heights

10/25/2019 (Permalink)

If your business is not in a floodplain, flooding may seem like a non-issue, but the frequency at which they occur may be surprising. About 90% of natural disasters include flooding, with many of the areas affected being ones that are not typically susceptible.

Business owners are wise to seriously consider their flood risk and plan for it. Not only will this help keep them and their employees safe in the moment, but it will also make the process of restoration and reopening that much easier. That is why preparing the workplace for a flood is a wise decision.

Fast, Reliable Mold Remediation For Your San Antonio Restaurants

8/2/2018 (Permalink)

When mold damage threatens your restaurant, count on the SERVPRO team

San Antonio restaurants, bakeries, and other food preparation enterprises know inspections are regularly conducted to ensure public health and safety. Mold growth is one of the negative marks your business can receive, so you want to move on mold remediation before the inspector comes. Stick to creating your delicious savory and sweet treats and hire us to manage the mold.

Mold damage in your San Antonio bakery and restaurant not only violates health regulations but also repels your customers if they see or hear about it. In a perfect world, your business would never need to deal with mold growth, but the conditions supportive of mold spores germination are common in most food preparation areas. Mold prefers temperatures from 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but some strains thrive at temperatures as low as 30 or high as 120 degrees. Water, even in the form of steam or high humidity fuels the growth of the fungi, and organic materials offer a food source. All commercial kitchens present this type of environment. We are familiar with the challenges of mold remediation in these circumstances.

Expect SERVPRO mold remediation technicians to assess both the current mold damage and the various sources of moisture observed. Unless your business addresses the moisture issues, mold can recur. In kitchens, one of the essentials is an adequate ventilation system, including exhaust fans that move the steam out of the area. Spills, neglected plumbing leaks, and condensation from coolers, freezers, and ice machines all contribute to the water mold spores seek to absorb.

SERVPRO technicians apply the ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation  using the IICRC Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation when responding to your mold emergency. The restoration industry outlines the best practices in this standard and guide, and we as industry leaders follow the recommendations and steps.

We do our best to complete the mold remediation while allowing your business to operate. The SERVPRO team erects physical barriers to contain the moldy area, a zone outside of which your staff and customers remain during the process. Air quality cannot be compromised, so we frequently use negative air pressure machines to prevent the contaminated air from drifting into the rest of your business and that employ HEPA filters to catch airborne debris before venting to the outdoors.

Once contained, our technicians remove the mold, using wiping, scraping, and abrasive techniques like soda blasting. SERVPRO clears the residues with HEPA filtered vacuums, and bag the debris for disposal according to local codes. EPA-registered antimicrobial formulations treat surfaces to inhibit future mold growth and damage.

Let SERVPRO of Alamo Heights partner with you when mold damage threatens your food service business. Call us for an evaluation of even a minor infestation at (210) 822-2063 -- the sooner, the better to retain your hard-earned reputation for unique and tasty delicacies.

Keeping Your Home or Business Fresh!

What Is Duct Cleaning?

This process refers to the cleaning of various system components of your heating and cooling system. The components that should be regularly cleaned include grilles, supply and return air ducts, heat exchangers, coils, and unit housing.

When not cleaned, these components can become contaminated with dust, dirt, and pollen. In addition, moisture can even result in mold growth, which often has harmful health effects. A thorough cleaning, however, can prevent such contamination and keep your indoor air at a high quality. 

How Can It Help Remove Foul Odors?

When the ducts are thoroughly cleaned with proper equipment, professionals can remove dander, mold, dust, and other contaminants in your air vents. These particles are generally the cause of foul odors. For example, mold often causes a musty smell, while pet fur and dander trapped in the ducts may cause other odors. To truly remove these smells, the process sanitizes and deodorizes all areas that are affected.
