How Does Airrestore Handle Mould Removal in Ventilation Systems?


Mould in ventilation systems is a serious concern that can compromise indoor air quality, damage infrastructure, and pose health risks to building occupants. Airrestore approaches mould removal in ventilation systems with a structured and thorough process designed to eliminate existing mould and prevent its recurrence.
1. Detailed System Inspection and Assessment
The first step in mould remediation is identifying the extent of the contamination. Airrestore’s technicians perform a comprehensive inspection of the entire HVAC system.
Air ducts and vents
Air handlers and coils
Filters and return registers
Moisture-prone areas
Special attention is given to areas that are dark, damp, or poorly ventilated, ideal breeding grounds for mould.
2. Moisture Source Identification
Since mould thrives in moist environments, locating and addressing the source of moisture is essential. Airrestore investigates potential causes.
Leaky ductwork
Condensation from poorly insulated components
Blocked or malfunctioning drainage systems
High humidity levels
Correcting the root cause is a critical part of preventing future growth.
3. Safe and Effective Mould Removal
Airrestore uses industry-approved methods and non-toxic, eco-friendly solutions to safely remove mould from ventilation systems. 
HEPA vacuuming: To trap mould spores and prevent them from spreading
Mechanical brushing: To scrub interior surfaces of ducts
Antimicrobial fogging: To eliminate residual spores and disinfect hard-to-reach areas
Biocide application: When necessary, to inhibit further growth
The products used are carefully selected to be safe for humans and pets, while still effectively treating mould contamination.
4. HVAC System Cleaning and Filter Replacement
After mould removal, a complete cleaning of the HVAC system is performed. 
Duct sanitisation
Blower motor and fan cleaning
Coil cleaning
Replacement or upgrading of filters (such as HEPA or activated carbon filters)
This step ensures the system is clean, efficient, and ready to deliver fresh air.
5. Air Quality Testing
Post-remediation, Airrestore offers air quality testing to ensure the mould has been successfully removed. 
Air sampling for spore counts
Surface testing (if required)
Humidity and moisture level monitoring
These tests provide peace of mind and validate the effectiveness of the treatment.
6. Preventative Maintenance and Advice
To reduce the risk of mould returning, Airrestore provides ongoing support and practical recommendations.
Regular HVAC maintenance schedules
Dehumidification strategies
Proper ventilation techniques
Advice on system upgrades or insulation improvements
They may also suggest installing UV-C light systems in ducts or air handlers, which can continuously neutralise mould spores and bacteria.

How AirRestore Guarantees Safe and Compliant Kitchen Extract Cleaning

Image
In high-pressure commercial kitchens, the kitchen extract system is relied upon to remove grease-contaminated air, odors, smoke, and heat. But with no routine professional cleaning, the system is a fire hazard and a compliance disaster waiting to happen. That's where AirRestore enters the picture with an end-to-end, safety-oriented approach to kitchen extract cleaning throughout New Zealand. 1. Why Kitchen Extract Cleaning Is Critical Grease and carbon deposits build up over time in the canopy, filters, ductwork, and fans. If left alone, this build-up becomes: Extremely flammable, heightening fire risk. A compliance failure under NZ fire safety laws. A cause of poor indoor air quality, impacting staff and customers. A basis for insurance claim denials in the case of a fire. AirRestore removes these risks through its professional services. 2. Step-by-Step Cleaning Process AirRestore uses a diligent process that surpasses industry standards: Cooking frequency and type (e.g., greasy ...

Why Do Fire Dampers Fail?

Image
Why Do Fire Dampers Fail? 1. Lack of Regular Maintenance Perhaps the most prevalent cause of failure of what fire dampers are is the lack of regular maintenance. Fire dampers need regular inspection, cleaning, and testing to guarantee proper functioning. Over time, dust, dirt, and debris build up, causing them to get stuck and not close when they are activated by heat or smoke. 2. Corrosion and Rust HVAC systems are subject to different moisture levels, causing corrosion and rust deposits on fire dampers . Corrosion of the damper blades or other parts could make them ineffective in closing when needed, which means they won't be able to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. 3. Fusible Link Failure Fire dampers are fitted with fusible links that will melt at a specified temperature, causing the damper to close. In case the fusible link is broken, installed incorrectly, or beyond its suggested replacement time, the fire damper will not function during a fire incident. 4. Ductwork Obs...
