Indoor Air Quality Services

As your HVAC system draws in more air, it also draws in contaminants. These contaminants tend to collect on smoke and fire dampers inside the ductwork. This can create a safety issue. As the debris worsens, the damper could stop operating. This would cause the ductwork to convey the smoke and/or fire to other occupied areas of the building. Therefore, it is imperative that the dampers be cleaned and serviced regularly.

Air duct systems could easily convey fire and/or smoke throughout your structure if the damper systems are not functioning properly. Due to budget crunches and other circumstances, it is not always possible for your maintenance staff to attend to the inspection and service of the damper systems.

That is why Lamunyon Cleaning and Restoration offers our trained and certified staff to inspect and service your damper systems in accordance with existing standards!  We are happy to discuss our services with you and will gladly give you an estimate for fire/smoke damper inspection and service.  With a copy of the mechanical blueprints of your facility, we can assess the time involved, as well as the expense for our service.  We look forward to assisting you in remaining compliant with existing codes and standards, as well as revisions in the future!

NFPA Code 90A 3-4.7 clearly states:

"At least every 4 years, fusible links (where applicable) shall be removed; all dampers shall be operated to verify that they fully close; the latch, if provided, shall be checked; and moving parts shall be lubricated as needed."

JCAHO Standard EC.2.12.1 also states:

"All fire and smoke dampers are operated (with fusible links removed where applicable) to verify they fully close at least every four years."
