Air Sanitizing Services
It is now known that microbiological contamination in AIR DUCT SYSTEMS should be a serious consideration when seeking sources of disease dissemination, allergy conditions, and respiratory infections. Various private, government and health agency organizations have become involved in the attempt to determine the extent of the threat of this contamination, and its long-term consequence. There is a considerable divergence of opinion among these groups as to the 'best procedure' to deal with this contamination and its effects; the one thing that all of the investigation agencies agree upon is that the contamination exists and is a serious concern for inhabitants of buildings where these tainted AIR DUCT SYSTEMS operate.

Test have shown that microbial agents that are suspect live only a short time on clean hard surfaces, but can have extensive life spans and actually breed on surfaces that provide harbor and nourishing conditions. AIR DUCT SYSTEMS that have accumulated even nominal amounts of dirt and dust provide ideal conditions for breeding; particularly as typically warm, moist air is circulated through the system. Additionally, the insulation that is commonly installed on the inside of air handling units and ductwork has been found to be an ideal propagating ground for biologicals. The biological materials that have been identified in AIR DUCT SYSTEMS include various bacterium, viruses, fungi, mold spores, pollens, and dust mites. Among the more infamous organisms in this group are the Legionella Pneumophila, Aspergillus, Penecillium and Cladosporium.

Since the air that is distributed by infectious systems provides a constantly renewing source of contamination, it has become obvious that thorough cleaning of AIR DUCT SYSTEMS is more than ever of vital importance. However, it is also obvious that cleaning alone is not sufficient to offer relief from existent microbial problems. A sanitizing program must be included with the cleaning process, and that is exactly what UNTIED SAFETY SERVICES is doing. We have developed a sanitizing and decontamination service that employs dedicated equipment and new sophisticated sanitizing materials. It is performed on all interior surfaces of the air transporting equipment, including the various components of the air handling unit, ductwork and diffusers. Once the system has been cleaned, follow-up sanitizing services can be repeated periodically, as deemed necessary.

Our complete system cleaning service, in combination with our exclusive sanitizing option, when coordinated with a review of system filter efficiency represents an estimable means of combatting microbiologic contamination. For 50 years, UNITED SAFETY SERVICES has been on the front line of solving air problems and is the one contractor that provides realistic and competent service, with research into today's problems and emphasis on tomorrow's solutions.
