Restoring Ductwork and Minimizing Odors for Telluride Homes

Fire damage can wreak havoc on all areas of a home, including its HVAC system. Often overlooked in the wake of a fire, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems can circulate soot, smoke odors, and other residues. These lingering effects can affect indoor air quality and ductwork integrity.

SERVPRO® is well-equipped with the tools, knowledge, and dedication to skillfully implement fire damage cleanup for Telluride homes. With 24/7 availability, highly-trained technicians, and a history of community involvement that extends beyond restoration, SERVPRO is committed to bringing homeowners relief from fire-related disasters.

How Fire Damage Impacts Telluride Homes

Fire-related residues don’t stop at charred walls or ceilings. HVAC systems can carry soot and smoke particles throughout the home, spreading odors and potentially damaging other areas. When moisture interacts with soot residue inside metal ducts, it can lead to corrosion and weakening of the ductwork.

Specific problems fires can cause to HVAC systems include:

• Particles settle inside ducts, vents, and filters.
• Smoke residues left untreated can create persistent smells.
• When soot combines with moisture, it corrodes sheet metal ducts.
• Filters and airways can become blocked, reducing system efficiency.

SERVPRO’s Fire Damage Remediation for HVAC Systems

SERVPRO offers expert remediation to address fire residues affecting HVAC systems. The steps taken include the following:

• The use of industrial-grade HEPA filter vacuums to remove soot particles and debris.
• Deployment of thermal foggers and hydroxyl generators to eliminate smoke odors on the particle level.
• Application of specifically-formulated, EPA-registered cleaning agents and anti-corrosion treatments to protect metal surfaces.
• Utilization of negative air machines with HEPA filters to limit soot particle travel and optimize indoor air quality.

By addressing these specific issues, SERVPRO ensures a home’s HVAC system no longer spreads soot, smoke odors, or corrosion risks, bringing the property back to a clean and comfortable state.
