HVAC Duct Cleaning & Inspections In Martinsburg, WV

Is there visible mold growth in the hard surface ducts or on other components of your facilities heating and cooling system? Are the facilities ducts infested with vermin such as rodents or insects? Are the facilities ducts clogged with dust and debris or are particles actually being released into the facility from the supply registers? If any of these are true, the EPA recommends the air ducts be cleaned.

With the average person breathing 3,400 gallons of air each day it is crucial to take measures to ensure we are breathing clean air.

Inspecting HVAC air ducts should be a part of your regular preventative maintenance program, including changing filters and vacuuming registers. Air duct cleaning should be scheduled immediately when the inspection reveals any of the following:

  • Substantial visible mold growth
  • Infestation of rodents or insects
  • Excessive amounts of dust and debris
  • Particle-release from the supply registers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is lead dangerous?

Lead can damage the nervous system and cause brain disorders. Excessive lead also causes blood disorders and is a potent neurotoxin that accumulates both in soft tissues and in the bones. The effects of lead are the same whether it enters the body through breathing or swallowing. Lead can affect almost every organ and system in the body. The main target for lead toxicity, however, is the nervous system. Long-term exposure can cause decreased performance in tests that measure functions of the nervous system, cause weakness in fingers, wrists or ankles, cause small increases in blood pressure, and can cause anemia. High exposures to lead levels can severely damage the brain and kidneys, ultimately causing death. Lead exposure has also been linked to learning disabilities. Lead that is emitted into the atmosphere, for example, sanding a painted area, can be inhaled or it can be ingested after it settles out of the air. It is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.
