Onondaga Workers Want to Keep Their Workspaces Fresh during Fire Damage Restoration
3/16/2022 (Permalink)
Air quality is a major concern when it comes to fire restoration in an Onondaga company. The soot that is formed from burning materials during a fire sticks to walls, ceilings and furniture, leaving behind a smoky stench.
It is tempting to turn on the HVAC to get colder air flowing. Please don't do this, as:
- You risk further damage if any part of the system is damaged by fire.
- It is best to not turn the system on until a professional inspects it.
- HVAC systems can release smoke odors and sooty residue throughout an entire office complex
It is best to contact us immediately and not touch the system till we arrive.
What is SERVPRO's HVAC cleaning service?

- We can clean the vents and grilles at the front if the soot has not reached them.
- We have long-handled brushes that can be used to clean up any damage further back
- Mild detergents can be used to remove stickier residues
- To remove soot from the air, we can use HEPA vacuums.
