How to Get Rid of Dead Animals in Vents and Ducts
Dead animals in air ducts and vents can seriously decrease the air quality inside the apartment and cause potential health hazards. More than likely the contaminated vents are circulating dangerous bacteria and will need to be properly cleaned to prevent sickness.
How Professionals Remove Dead Animals from Ducts
In order to inspect air vents and HVAC ducts, professional services companies will use telescopic or remote cameras to traverse the ducts and locate the dead animal carcass. Once it is found, long vaccuum tubes can be used to hault the carcass and other debris out of the duct. Checmicals will be used to clean the area and deoderize the air so that the air conditioning system is safe to use again.
Damaged or Contaminated Ducts and Vents
When you cannot decontaminate a vent or AC duct, or it is beyond repair, it will need to be replaced with new materials for your safety and the safety of your family.
