AdvantaClean of The Piedmont, Burlington Our Work

Problem: Air duct cleaning work was required for a customer in the Burlington, NC area. In addition to standard air duct cleaning, the customer requested an anti-microbial spray be used in the ducts, and a dryer vent cleaning was also performed.

Solution: The work was performed as requested by the customer. By cleaning the dryer vent as part of the job, the lint was completely removed and the fire hazard that can come along with lint accumulation was reduced.

The Value of a Clean Dryer Vent

When your dryer runs, it creates a tremendous amount of heat, and the air in the dryer is quite humid (since the clothes are wet when they go in). All that warm, damp air needs to go somewhere, and it wouldn’t be very pleasant to have it stay inside your home. So, the dryer vent does the work of moving that air outside where it can easily dissipate.

This setup works nicely with minimal attention on your end, but the dryer vent should be cleaned periodically to avoid problems. If you allow your vent to get clogged up with lint as the months and years pass, your dryer is going to lose efficiency. If you have been noticing recently that your clothes seem to be taking a lot longer to get dry, it’s possible that a clogged vent is to blame. Having dryer vent cleaning in Burlington performed by the professionals at AdvantaClean of the Piedmont will solve this issue right away.

If better dryer performance isn’t enough of a motivation to have your vent cleaned, consider the safety element. When lint is clogged up and the vent, and it gets hot during a drying cycle, it’s possible that the lint, which is highly flammable can catch on fire. If for no other reasons, having the vent cleaned for safety purposes is well worth your time  and investment. 

Yet another reason to keep this vent clean is the potential for mold. We already mentioned that this is a damp environment, and damp areas are prone to mold growth. So, if pieces of damp lint are allowed to stay in the vent for long, mold can grow. And, if you have ever been through the mold remediation process, you already know that it’s best to avoid mold problems at all costs.

Problem: The bathroom fans on all four floors of a student housing building in a local university needed to be properly cleaned. Given the high volume environment of student housing, these fans had accumulated a significant amount of buildup and required professional cleaning to return to their ideal level of performance.

Solution: To make sure these exhaust fans were working correctly once again, the team from AdvantaClean of The Piedmont used techniques that would remove all kinds of buildup from the fan components. Lint is a common material to find in this situation, but there are many other issues that have to be taken into account when cleaning exhaust fans, such as fungi, dirt, hair, and assorted foreign materials. After the thorough cleaning, the fans throughout the student housing building were completely clean and ready once again for regular use.

Do Exhaust Fans Need to Be Cleaned Regularly?

In a word, yes. Consistently performing exhaust fan cleaning, and general air duct cleaning in Burlington, is important to keep the systems in your building working properly. The reason for cleaning an exhaust fan on a regular basis is pretty simple – a dirty fan doesn’t work as well and has the potential to spread allergens or other irritants. If you allow too much time between cleanings, fans can get bogged down by dirt and debris, and will lose efficiency. In time, you might notice odors or excess moisture.

The Importance of General Air Duct Cleaning and Maintenance

Beyond just the exhaust fans, having your air duct system cleaned and maintained is an important part of owning a building. Whether it is a commercial or residential space, keeping air ducts clean will help the HVAC system live up to its potential and keep the building as clean and comfortable as possible.

In time, it’s likely the dirt and other particles will accumulate in the ductwork that serves your home or commercial building. So, when the HVAC system runs, it can distribute those particles and deliver them back into the rooms that the heating or cooling system is serving. Not only could this lead to dirtier air, but it could also contribute to health issues, especially if there is mold in the ductwork.

To get around these potential problems, work with AdvantaClean of the Piedmont right away to care for your system. Our air duct cleaning in Burlington will leave your system clean and ready for service, and we can also provide maintenance and repair work on any ducts that have been damaged in some way. We look forward to serving you.

Problem: This client experienced a ruptured pipe in the ceiling grid, leading to water running free across the tiles and down onto the floor below. This 18,000-square-foot space that included exam tables, patient records, and lab equipment, was flooded and needed immediate attention. The damage to the building was significant and required an immediate response to make sure the practice could reopen and start caring for patients again as soon as possible.

Solution: The first course of action for this client was to repair the water leak in the ceiling so no further damage would be done. From there, our team thoroughly dried out the building using professional-grade equipment, and then rebuilt the walls and cleaned the building carefully. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team, the doctor’s office was able to reopen just one week after dealing with a completely flooded office.

Time is Money in Business

With any kind of disaster recovery project, the goal is to complete the job as quickly as possible. For instance, if a family is displaced from their home because of a weather event, they will certainly want the repairs finished right away so they can go home again. These events are upsetting and getting the job completed and bringing life back to normal provides a sense of closure for the individuals that have been affected.

The urgency of this kind of project goes to a higher level, however, when it is a business that has to close down. In this case, it was a doctor’s office that was affected, and that office would not be able to operate until the repairs were completed and the area was clean and safe for patients and workers to return. An extended period of time where the office was closed would mean that patients aren’t getting the care they need and the business isn’t bringing in the revenue it requires to continue to operate.

This is why AdvantaClean takes such pride in delivering prompt results for our clients. Time is at a premium for a business that is closed, so we bring an urgency to the job that understands how important it is for your business to get back up and running immediately. The exact amount of time it takes to get a business going again will depend on the specifics of what has happened and what needs to be repaired, but you can always be sure that we are focused on delivering prompt results on every project.

The Partner You Can Trust

There are few events that can happen in a building that are as serious as water damage, so only the best team will do when working on repairs. Turn to AdvantaClean of the Piedmont as your trusted disaster recovery company to get back on your feet in no time at all. Contact us today and we will be proud to serve you!
