HVAC and Duct Smoke Cleaning in Bartlett, TN

If the air handler ran at any point during or after the fire, the duct system is contaminated. It pulled smoke from the fire area and pushed it into rooms that were otherwise untouched, and it will keep redistributing odor every time it cycles.

This is the step most commonly skipped, and it is why buildings that were cleaned properly still smell. The rooms were done. The system feeding them was not.

Emberline Restoration addresses the full system in Bartlett, TN properties: supply and return runs, the plenum, the blower assembly, and the evaporator coil where residue collects and is easy to miss. Flexible duct that has taken heavy soot gets replaced rather than cleaned, because its interior liner will not release residue.

Filters come out and are discarded rather than cleaned. If the system ran with a loaded filter, the filter rack and the housing downstream of it need attention too.

We recommend the system stays off until this work is done. Running it to make the building comfortable moves the contamination further every hour.

How it works

From your call to a clean building

01

Call and secure

Openings boarded and the roof tarped the same night so the building stops taking weather.

02

Identify the residue

Dry soot, wet soot and protein residue need opposite methods. Getting it wrong is permanent.

03

Clean and deodorize

Top down under negative pressure with HEPA filtration, then ductwork, then odor treatment.

04

Document and restore

Photos and scope go to your adjuster, then repairs put the building back.

HVAC And Duct Smoke Cleaning FAQs

Frequently asked questions about HVAC and Duct Smoke Cleaning

Questions we hear most often about HVAC and Duct Smoke Cleaning in Bartlett, TN.

Talk to a real person
How fast do I need to start fire cleanup in Bartlett, TN?
Within days, not weeks. Soot is acidic and begins etching chrome, brass, aluminum and polished stone almost immediately. A fire that damaged two rooms can cost you fixtures throughout the building if the residue sits through a weekend. Call (888) 773-0161 and we will get someone out.
Why does my house still smell after it was cleaned?
Almost always the ductwork. If the air handler ran at any point, the system pulled smoke in and pushed it through the building, and it keeps redistributing odor every time it cycles. The rooms get cleaned and the system feeding them does not.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Yes, and we phase it so parts of the building reopen while the heavily affected zones stay under containment. Offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses and multi-unit residential. Restaurant work includes hood and grease duct systems. Call (888) 773-0161.
What is different about wildfire ash?
It is alkaline rather than acidic, it travels much further than people expect, and it can carry heavy metals from whatever burned nearby. It needs HEPA vacuuming rather than sweeping or blowing, which just puts it back into the air.
How long does the whole job take?
A contained single room fire with light smoke can be days. A structure fire with heavy soot, contents pack out and duct cleaning runs weeks. We give you a scope and a sequence up front rather than an open ended job, and we tell you which parts have to happen before others.
