SERVPRO Fire Cleanup Team Can Help your Premises

Commercial property fires are not uncommon. They can occur from faulty electronics, human error, and, in the case of restaurants, from kitchens. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units can be significantly damaged by smoke, especially if the system is on. SERVPRO can help recover the damages caused to your business following a fire.

HVAC inspection is a common task performed by Danbury commercial fire damage restoration services. These systems feature a supply-side- which intakes air- and a return side that distributes it across multiple rooms. In a fire, HVAC systems can easily draw in hot smoke and ash and then distribute it into numerous locations throughout the building. Even if the system is switched off, the pressure increases caused by hot air that can force particulates into supply or return vents. Our technicians perform HVAC inspections and cleaning as standard when dealing with fires on commercial premises. We can help with:

• HVAC inspection
• Fire restoration
• Duct cleaning 

Cleaning an air-conditioning system is not always necessary in a restoration job. However, inspecting the ducts and venting is essential to ensuring that your business returns to a safe condition. Contaminated ducts can redistribute ash throughout the building. When checking air conditioning units, our technicians determine how long the fire burned, whether smoke entered through return or supply sides and if the system was in use. Cleaning efforts may require different approaches depending on the materials that ducts are made from- flex duct or sheet metal. Equally, physical damages to the dampers, vanes, or cooling coil may require subcontractors to perform repairs. Our technicians can enact the proper response to ensure your HVAC system and business premises return to a preloss condition. 

• If cleaning is not possible, technicians may need to seal off portions of the duct to prevent further damage- referred to as duct sealing.
• Disassembling the HVAC system requires professional expertise, which we can arrange for you during the service.
• Filters on an HVAC system's return or supply-side can be removed and replaced cost-efficiently.
