The Importance of Cleaning Ducts After a Fire
Fires in homes, commercial buildings, or industrial facilities can be devastating. Even after the flames are extinguished, the damage doesn’t stop there. Smoke, soot, and lingering odors penetrate deep into the building’s ventilation system.
Your HVAC ducts act like a giant sponge, pulling in airborne debris and recirculating harmful particles throughout the property. Without proper post-fire duct cleaning, you’re left with poor indoor air quality, unpleasant odors, and potential health risks. That’s why professional fire restoration duct cleaning is an essential step in bringing your building back to normal.
How We Clean Fire-Damaged Ductwork
When it comes to duct cleaning after a fire, we don’t cut corners. Our team uses high-powered vacuum trucks designed specifically for large-scale HVAC cleaning. We connect directly to the duct system, creating powerful negative air pressure that pulls out soot, ash, dust, and any other debris left behind from the fire.
Along with vacuuming, we use compressed air whips to dislodge stubborn debris clinging to the interior surfaces of the ducts. This process ensures that every inch of the ductwork—supply, return, exhaust, fresh air, and even the hardest-to-reach areas—are thoroughly cleaned. Removing these contaminants not only improves air quality but also helps prevent further damage to your HVAC system.
Fogging with Unsoot to Remove Odors and Contamination
After the mechanical cleaning is complete, we take it a step further with Unsoot fogging. Unsoot is a specialized cleaning and deodorizing solution designed to neutralize the harsh, smoky odors left behind after a fire. When fogged through the system, it penetrates deep into the ductwork, coating surfaces and eliminating lingering smells at the source.
This step is critical because the smoky, fire-damaged odor becomes trapped in the ventilation system. Every time the HVAC turns on, those smells get pushed back into the living or working space, making it impossible for the building to truly feel “clean” again. Our fogging process ensures the air smells fresh, clean, and breathable, restoring a healthy indoor environment.
