SERVPRO Inspects HVAC System in Brookline During Fire Damage Cleanup

Several systems within a building need to be inspected by professionals during fire damage restoration. Irrespective of the fire size, never assume that everything is okay after the fire. Soot particles can penetrate unimaginable areas and cause damage you should have prevented by acting appropriately.

One of the systems that our SERVPRO technicians inspect during fire damage cleanup in your Brookline property is the HVAC system. Suppose it is running or you make the mistake of operating it immediately after the incident. In that case, its filters may get clogged by soot and smoke particles. The appliance may not function efficiently and can spread the contaminants to other areas.

To unclog the filters and prevent further damage, our team performs the following procedures:

• The HVAC system is turned off before attempting any restoration procedure.
• Inspection: We remove the filters and closely inspect them for signs of clogging
• Cleaning: Slightly clogged filters are vacuumed or washed with soap and water. We then make sure they are completely dry before fixing them back.
• Assessment of other components: Our SERVPRO technicians check whether the evaporator coil, blower motor, and other components have been affected and recommend the necessary repair or replacement of fire damage.

Other systems that require careful and thorough inspection include electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, security, and structural systems. The goal is to make sure your property is safe for reoccupation. To reduce possible long-term effects and risks, work with a fire damage company that meets the IICRC standards and follows the local regulations.
