Five Important Tips for Winter Home Safety

The Holiday Season is here in the Triangle, Fayetteville and the surrounding region, and the weather will be getting below freezing more and more frequently, with overnight lows in the 20’s and 30’s. These temperatures create a variety of challenges for maintaining homes and businesses, and keeping the occupants safe. Indoor air quality can decrease when the heating system runs every day, and those homeowners using natural gas or heating oil might have additional risks of carbon monoxide. Unattended homes and buildings over the holidays can create problems that can go unnoticed.  Basic prevention and assessment of indoor air is the best strategy for home and business owners in the Triangle. AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex can help with preventive measures such as air duct cleaning, and our team of professionals can also assist remediate mishaps like water, fire, or smoke damage.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex offers five important tips for preparing a home or business for the North Carolina winter:

• The HVAC system should have an annual inspection this time of year: A local and reputable HVAC contractor should make sure the system is operating safely and efficiently before it is used on a regular basis for the long winter season. If the heating system uses any fossil fuels, make sure carbon monoxide detectors are installed and working. An improperly operating or defective heating system can release colorless, odorless, and deadly carbon monoxide gas into the indoor air.
• Commercial and residential air ducts should be inspected and cleaned to ensure the best indoor air quality: The air ducts move vast quantities of air through the system, and over a period of time, dust and debris can accumulate in those ducts. A NADCA certified and experienced contractor like AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex can assess and clean them.
• Prevent pipes from freezing and bursting in extreme cold: Exterior and interior wall water supplies and drain pipes must not be allowed to get below 32 degrees or they can freeze. As water turns to ice, it expands and can cause pipes to break. Prevent freezing by keeping the indoor temperature at least 55 degrees. If leaving for an extended period, turn the main building water supply off, flush toilets, and run faucets dry.
• Check for exterior water leaks on the roof, siding, and around windows: While this is actually a good year-round inspection to do, it’s especially important if the building will be left unattended for any length of time. Minor leaks from these areas can enable mold growth inside walls and ceilings, which can spread rapidly if growing unnoticed in a tightly sealed building.
• Disconnect any appliances not being used during an extended absence period: Water lines to refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters can begin leaking suddenly and spew a lot of water. Refrigerators, freezers and other electrical appliances left running can fail electrically, causing a fire. To eliminate the possibility of flood or fire, disconnect or shut off the water source and do not leave electrical appliances running while away for any period of time.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex specializes in helping home and business owners keep their indoor air clean and recover from fire, smoke, and water damage. We offer the best NADCA and IICRC Certified expertise, equipment, and customer service available in the Triangle. While remediation business is always appreciated, we also want all our friends and neighbors in North Carolina to avoid disasters and injuries.

5 Important Business Services AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex Offers to Commercial Owners

Correctly maintaining and managing a commercial, institutional, or hospitality property in the Triangle can increase the productivity of workers and possibly reduce safety hazards. These processes ultimately save money and create positive results in more profitable businesses. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important consideration in the health of building occupants. Several factors are involved in improving and maintaining IAQ, such as keeping the HVAC system up-to-date and clean, and addressing any odor and mold issues that may arise. Older buildings may have long-standing problems with odors and mold, or have been impacted by water damage, and these issues should be remedied first in order to improve the property value and the health of people in the building. If the building has laundry facilities and associated dryer vents, getting the vents cleaned periodically can reduce or eliminate potential causes of fires.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is trained and experienced at helping building owners maintain HVAC systems, dryer vents, packaged terminal AC units (PTAC), and air conditioning coils. We also specialize in mold and odor remediation for commercial and institutional buildings. We are well known in North Carolina for excellent customer service, useful advice, and great results.

• Commercial air conditioner and PTAC cleaning: To operate with peak efficiency and stay in service for as long as possible, the coils on air conditioning units should be cleaned regularly. We know how and when to clean these units for good IAQ and lowest possible energy consumption.
• Commercial water damage restoration: AdvantaClean provides a fast and effective response to water damage from severe weather or plumbing system failures. We understand that getting the job done right is essential when it comes to minimizing down time and lost business.
