Problem: Poor efficiency in the heating and cooling of the HVAC system due to the coils not being cleaned.
Solution: "All coils were cleaned roof top units and air handler units. Coils need to be cleaned on a regular basis: As air flows over coils, they begin to buildup with dirt, dust, mold and pollen. This buildup becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. It also prevents the coils from absorbing heat and reducing air flow, resulting in greater energy consumption"

Many said before us that it couldn’t be done. We arrived in force, operating lifts right through the front door of this commercial property to exceed the expectations of the property management. With the complexities of air duct cleaning, there were many boxes to check to make sure this job was done right, and without having to close down the building.
Safety and special awareness are always factors when you have heavy machinery working to lift our AdvantaClean specialists to the workspace. Our professionals would don personal protective equipment like harnesses with fall arrest systems to be raised to set up the vacuuming equipment and negative pressure on the duct network. We also set down outrigger protection to preserve the flooring as our equipment stabilizes for the lift.
Air hoses help to run pneumatic equipment to loosen buildup and debris within vents and returns our machine accessed. We could then carefully vacuum out the particulates. Within the course of a day, we were able to meet the needs of the client and improve the air quality of their building.
AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte is like a Breath of Fresh Air!
As you see in this clip, multi-story facilities require us to utilize scissor lifts and man-lift machinery to reach airways. Our professionals always focus on safety, from work boots to wearing fall arrest harness systems in the machine baskets. Safe operating practices for these machines and equipment include:
● Base Operation – Our lifts should be tested to ensure we can operate them at the ground level as intended in case of a loss of power/controls in the basket.
● Safety Features – We inspect the basket for solid railing, toe boards, and tie-off clip points for the harnesses.
● Undamaged Hoses – Pneumatic tools using long hoses depicted here are inspected before use to ensure they do not have cracks, holes, or malfunctions.
A Full Team Attentive to the Mission
AdvantaClean professionals look out for each other, in this case, literally. We have a ground crew set to monitor the placement and movement of machinery in the air to protect the structure and the team in the equipment.
A safe job site keeps your business secure, helps complete projects faster, and ensures everyone goes home when the job is done.
Despite the challenge, our AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte team has always prided itself on meeting customers' needs. Some companies said no one could do air duct
cleaning like this, but we knew better. Height and access were the primary obstacles of this commercial cleaning, so we had to find creative solutions to reach returns and vents several stories in the air. We brought multiple machines to the structure's ground floor, including mobile elevated work platforms and scissor lifts.
We had two priorities that you can see in the video: providing a complete result that exceeded the customer's expectations and keeping all crew members involved safe. Therefore, when operating the machinery, our technicians wore the appropriate personal protective equipment, had spotters on the ground floor, and maintained total focus on the surroundings to prevent mishaps and accidents.
The thorough duct cleaning service involved our team working on every building level with air-powered tools and equipment to dislodge debris buildup, dust, and contaminants. Have a
complicated duct cleaning or restoration project? We are Large Loss experts at your service. Call AdvantaClean today to help.
At AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte, we recently responded to a homeowner's concern in Rock Hill who suspected mold growth on their bedroom ceiling. Our thorough inspection revealed stains on the ceiling, and our infrared meter detected underlying moisture. To assess the full extent of the damage, we had to remove the drywall.
To prevent any potential mold spread to other parts of the house, we took precautionary measures. We installed a containment barrier around the affected area and deployed a HEPA air scrubber and dehumidifier.
Upon removing the wet drywall and insulation, we discovered damp structural materials and a small amount of mold. The good news was that our remediation process, combined with ongoing drying efforts, involved cleaning without the need for debridement through sanding or grinding. Additionally, none of the wood structural materials required replacement.
Our meticulous approach ensured that, once cleaned and thoroughly dried, only a minimal amount of stain remained on some wood surfaces. Importantly, this did not compromise the integrity of the material. The treated area was now ready for the installation of new insulation, drywall, and a fresh coat of paint.
AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte takes pride in providing effective and non-invasive mold remediation solutions. Our commitment to thorough inspections, targeted remediation, and efficient drying processes ensures that your home is restored with minimal disruption. If you suspect mold or moisture issues in your home, contact us today for a comprehensive assessment and expert solutions. Your home's health is our priority.
Location: Charlotte, NC 28210
Problem: In the before photo, excess moisture and pooling water in the crawlspace of a Charlotte home with an HVAC system installed posed significant issues. Due to the area's high annual rainfall and humid conditions, coupled with the common practice of installing HVAC systems in crawlspaces, moisture accumulation was rampant. This environment fostered mold growth, leading to a musty odor inside the house and potential health concerns. The presence of mold spores and moisture-laden air circulating through the HVAC system exacerbated indoor air quality problems, resulting in "sick building syndrome."
Solution: To address the moisture and mold issues in the crawlspace, a comprehensive encapsulation system was implemented. AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte conducted mold remediation to eliminate existing mold growth and installed a complete encapsulation system. This included addressing drainage issues, installing a specialized crawlspace dehumidifier, and ensuring proper ventilation to maintain optimal moisture levels. With these measures in place, the crawlspace was transformed into a dry, clean environment, mitigating mold growth and improving indoor air quality throughout the home.
Location: Charlotte, NC 28270
Problem: At a local high school comprising six buildings totaling 260,000 square feet, the HVAC system had a severe accumulation of dust and debris. The dirty air filters and grates indicated poor indoor air quality, which can pose health risks to occupants. Neglecting HVAC maintenance not only compromises air quality but also jeopardizes the system's functionality, potentially resulting in costly repairs or replacements.
Solution: In response to the neglected HVAC system at the local high school, comprehensive cleaning was conducted by AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte. Every aspect of the HVAC system, including supplies, returns, trunk lines, and coils, was meticulously cleaned. Specialized equipment and techniques were employed to remove accumulated dust and debris, restoring optimal airflow and efficiency.

Location: Lake Wylie, SC 29710
Problem: The crawlspace of a recently purchased home in Lake Wylie was found to be excessively damp, with pooled water, wet, moldy insulation, and active mold growth. The new owners detected a musty odor inside the home, prompting a mold inspection. The moisture issues, caused by condensation and groundwater intrusion, led to poor indoor air quality as contaminated air from the crawlspace was drawn into the HVAC system.
Solution: AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte performed a comprehensive crawlspace encapsulation and mold remediation. The process involved removing standing water, dehumidifying the area, and addressing drainage issues. Mold was eradicated through brushing, abrading, HEPA vacuuming, and applying antimicrobials. The crawlspace was encapsulated with a vapor barrier, and a specialized dehumidifier was installed to maintain low humidity levels. These measures significantly improved air quality and protected the home's structural integrity.
