Chutes, Shafts, & Chases
Vertical shafts have three things in common: their surfaces get dirty, they are hard to inspect, and natural draft air flow through the shaft disperses contamination through access doorways. United Safety Services has over 50 years experience performing cleaning, disinfecting, painting, and washing vertical shafts for elevators, dumbwaiters, chutes of all types, and conveyors.

Laundry and trash chutes collect debris and foreign matter during the course of normal usage and must be cleaned periodically to maintain sanitary conditions. Our exclusive disinfectant service, in combination with our cleaning service, offers the most practical approach to cleanliness. Various regulating and inspection agencies commonly insist upon regular cleaning of this type, often with before and after microscopic slide tests, and United has developed systems to offer the results that are desired.

Elevator shafts, dumbwaiters, and pipe chases commonly accumulate dangerous dust and debris, and often grease and oil from mechanisms. Our service removes foreign matter from the shaft; and we offer follow-up services of washing and/or painting of the interior surfaces.

Since conditions of these various types of shafts are not readily apparent they are often overlooked in the course of regular housekeeping schedules, until the foreign accumulations cause problems with maintenance, fire danger, or disease contamination. All of these are serious considerations in themselves; however, the potential for fire hazard should be emphasized since all these shafts constitute an unrestricted vertical passageway for a fire. The elimination of debris from these shaft and chute interiors is the most logical first step toward a sanitary and fire safe building.

We offer professional service, guaranteed results, and realistic prices - and we give you 45 years experience for free. The work is fully insured and can be done night or day at no change in cost.
