Expert Damage Restoration Services in Port Coquitlam, BC

Warm, dry air can help speed up drying times. If possible, turn on the furnace and turn up the temperature, use a dehumidifier, and use fans. A common misconception is opening windows will help dry the carpet more quickly.

Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning) cleans the surface fiber of the carpet. Carpet cleaning does not penetrate through the backing of the carpet or penetrate the underlay.

We use a skipper line in the main duct lines, also known as an air whip, combined with a truck mounted vacuum that pulls at up to 20,000 cfpm (cubic feet per minute). The skipper line creates agitation in the main duct lines which loosens contaminates from the surfaces within the duct lines. Compressed air is used in each individual vent to force the dust and dirt toward the main duct lines where the truck mounted vacuum is connected.

Your duct work is connected to your furnace and they work as a cohesive system however the components are separate. Duct cleaning is the extraction of dust and dirt from the vents and plenums in your home. Furnace cleaning is the removal of built up dust on the mechanical components (blower motor & burners) within the furnace. Furnaces need to be cleaned and maintained annually to ensure performance, reduce safety risks and prevent costly repairs.

If you have central air conditioning your furnace houses an air conditioning evaporator coil. A/C evaporator coils need to be cleaned and maintained every year. Air blowing across the coils can contain dirt, pollen, dust, and other particles found in the furnace and duct system. A/C coils become damp from the dehumidification process, making it is very easy for contaminants to stick to them. In a very short amount of time, this dirt and dust can accumulate and impact performance. Problems that result from a dirty A/C coil include; decreased ability to cool effectively, increased energy use, reduced heat transfer, increased operating pressures and temperatures, a buildup of ice on the coil, and increased wear on the system, which can lead to damage, system malfunctions and reduced life expectancy. Exterior A/C condensers units also need to be cleaned often, however this is easily done by the home owner and not a service we provide.
