Nashville Commercial Air Duct Cleaning in Schools

Air Systems and Duct Work Get Serviced by SERVPRO in the Nashville Area

Air ducts are necessary to circulate clean, cool, and or warm air throughout schools to ensure a healthy environment for students, teachers, and administrative faculty. When the HVAC system is broken or unsafe, everyone in the facility suffers.

Keeping a Nashville school safe, requires regular, commercial air duct cleaning. Scheduled cleaning also keeps the maintenance costs down. SERVPRO keeps an extensive inventory of equipment and a trained response team that can handle every type of air duct and HVAC system on the market today.

To ensure our SERVPRO cleaning team does a thorough job, we use a process developed over decades in business. First, one of our inspectors performs a complete check of the duct work using personal, visual inspection and specialized camera equipment where needed. Once completed, they provide a full report on what needs cleaning and if any mold is present.
If mold is present, our team technicians use anti-fungal foggers to ensure that most active spores are killed or rendered inert. If needed, they use specially designed physical scrubbers to loosen the mold from the duct surfaces to make removal easier.

As the mold cleaning takes place, other team members clean the other elements of the HVAC system. Technicians scrub the furnace, blower, evaporator coils and every vent cover in the structure. We do this because if we do not, once the system is turned on, dust and other contaminants simply blow into the duct work, wasting time and money.

For the next step, technicians use compressors to force air through the system to push dirt and other soil to the exit points we establish. Then, they use the commercial vacuums at our disposal to remove the mold as well as the regular dirt and other soils. If mold is even suspected to be in the HVAC system, technicians use HEPA filters on our industrial grade equipment. These specialty filterscan even trap single mold spores.
 
Once we have removed all contaminants, an inspector performs a final check and writes up a complete before-and-after report. This inspection means not just checking the duct work, but every classroom in the school to ensure we leave a cleaner environment than when we arrived. There is a reason many municipalities rely on SERVPRO to ensure a clean and healthy air quality in their buildings.

Cleaning out HVAC ducts of dirt, mold, pollen, dander, house mites, and other contaminants is a careful process, but a needed one considering how many students can be adversely affected. It also saves valuable resources so essential to the already tight budgets our schools have today. SERVPRO of South Nashville stands ready to support our schools and local businesses.
