HVAC and Duct Smoke Cleaning in Sandy Springs, GA

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 Sandy Springs, GA 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.

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

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.

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 Sandy Springs, GA.

Talk to a real person
Can I go back in and start cleaning myself?
We would rather you did not, and not only for safety. Wiping soot with a damp cloth drives it into porous surfaces and turns a cleanable wall into a replaceable one. Dry soot and wet soot need opposite methods, and getting it wrong is usually permanent.
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.
What can actually be saved?
More than people expect on hard goods, less than people hope on soft goods. Hard surfaces, fixtures, most electronics and many textiles are recoverable. Mattresses, upholstered furniture and carpet pad that took heavy smoke usually are not, and repeated cleaning costs more than replacement while leaving the odor.
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.
