What Could Be in Your Nashville Industrial Plant's Air Ducts?

SERVPRO Technicians Tackle Damage After an Event as Well as Preventative Measures That Help Prohibit Mold at Your Commercial Facility

Regular air duct cleaning is essential for Nashville industrial plants. Factories and manufacturing facilities tend to be large, utilitarian spaces, and thus their HVAC systems often become clogged and weighed down with contaminants and stoppages. Even clean plants naturally accumulate particulate matter due to their typically larger size than most other buildings and proximity to polluted areas. If your air ducts have not been cleaned or inspected in some time, they could be circulating some of these materials without your knowledge.
 
Dust and Dirt
 
Dust and dirt may seem like a trivial concern for many Nashville industrial plants' air ducts and HVAC systems, but when left ignored and unfixed, these factors can quickly evolve into a much more prominent issue. Dust and dirt, when allowed to circulate freely, can decrease the quality of produced goods and potentially impact the health of your employees. Thankfully, this is one of the most straightforward materials to clean, even in more significant quantities.
 
Mold
 
Over time, HVAC systems can become ideal breeding grounds for some types of mold. Air ducts circulate everything in the factory's atmosphere in and out, including water vapor and certain chemicals used as nutrients by some mold varieties. If mold is allowed to grow in your factory's air ducts, it could begin producing copious numbers of spores that circulate in the facility and cause damage elsewhere, in addition to potentially causing health effects.
 
Odors
 
Some types of odors can collect and ferment inside of HVAC systems, slowly dissipating into the facility's atmosphere. Over time, the entire building could begin to smell of smoke, chemicals, and other industrial contaminants, even in office spaces. Cleaning out your air ducts helps to eliminate odors at the source and improve quality of life in the facility.
