A 186-unit senior living community across 9 buildings, completed in six days with defend-in-place protocols observed throughout.
Scope of Work
- HVAC supply and return ducts
- Return plenum cleaning
- Dryer vent cleaning
- Access panel inspection and securing
- Preventative maintenance plan
What We Found
Airflow verification at every unit is the diagnostic step. A unit still restricted after a full-run clean has a physical duct problem, not a lint problem. Here is what the deficiency log recorded:
- Dust accumulation throughout the system
- Mould-like debris inside return plenums
- Dryer vent restrictions
- Loose access panels
Results
- Restored airflow across the community
- Reduced resident complaints of poor ventilation
- Improved HVAC efficiency
- Preventative maintenance recommendations implemented by the operator
How It Ran
Crews worked building by building over 6 days with a published sequence, and resident notices issued through the management office. The property remained occupied throughout. Every unit was photographed before and after, and the complete report — per-building photographs, deficiency log with unit locations, airflow verification summary and completion certificate referencing NFPA 211 — was delivered within 48 hours of completion.
Why the Deficiencies Matter More Than the Lint
Lint is the cheap problem. It is removed by cleaning and it comes back on a predictable cycle. The disconnected transitions and blocked terminations found on this project are different: they are physical faults that no amount of cleaning fixes, and they were invisible to the property’s maintenance team because the residents’ dryers appeared to work.
