Cleaning ventilation systems is an important step in maintaining a healthy and safe environment. Clean ventilation improves indoor air quality, which directly affects our well-being, health and work productivity. It also reduces the risk of fire, making the environment safer and more energy-efficient. Dust, mold, grease and other contaminants accumulate in ventilation systems, which can pose a serious threat over time if not cleaned regularly. Poor indoor air can cause unpleasant sensations such as headaches and fatigue, promote the spread of viruses and increase energy consumption. Regular ventilation cleaning prevents these problems, improving the efficiency of the system and helping to reduce costs, thus maintaining a safe and healthy environment.
Ventilation systems, regardless of their type (natural or mechanical), become contaminated over time, accumulating dust, skin cells, chemical fumes and debris. These pollutants not only worsen air quality, but also pose health and fire safety hazards. Although many ventilation systems have filters, contamination settles inside the ventilation ducts over time, which is why regular mechanical ventilation cleaning is necessary. Ventilation cleaning services help maintain clean indoor air and reduce the risk of fire, especially in places where fume extraction systems operate, such as restaurants. In these places, grease and dust deposits accumulate in the ventilation ducts, which can create dangerous situations if regular cleaning is neglected.
The Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia Regulation No. 238, which entered into force on 19 April 2016, stipulates that the inspection and cleaning of mechanical ventilation systems is a mandatory requirement to reduce the risk of fire. These regulations stipulate that ordinary ventilation systems must be inspected and cleaned at least once every five years, while explosion-proof systems that extract flammable substances must be inspected and cleaned annually. Compliance with these regulations is essential for both public and private buildings, as it helps to ensure a safe environment. A mechanical ventilation inspection report is necessary to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure fire safety.
Ventilation cleaning service is also available for private homes with centralized air recovery systems. Clean ventilation systems help maintain fresh and healthy air in the home, as well as reduce system load, thereby reducing energy consumption. Although a mechanical ventilation inspection certificate is not mandatory for private homes, regular cleaning of ventilation air ducts is recommended to ensure optimal system operation.
Kitchen exhaust systems are particularly important in catering establishments, as grease build-up in ventilation ducts can pose a serious threat. Cleaning ventilation ducts is an essential preventive measure that improves the efficiency of the system and reduces the risk of fire. It is especially important to ensure the cleanliness of the exhaust system in restaurants, pizzerias and other catering establishments, where a lot of grease and dirt accumulate on a daily basis. Ignoring cleaning, there is a risk that grease deposits can ignite, which can endanger not only the operation of the company, but also human life and health.
In the industrial sector, especially where flammable substances are used, such as in the chemical industry or woodworking, it is important to maintain clean ventilation systems to reduce the risk of explosions and fires. Regular cleaning of technical exhaust systems is necessary for the system to effectively remove flammable gases and vapors. According to regulatory enactments, such systems must be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, and at the end of the cleaning, a ventilation inspection certificate is issued, confirming the system’s compliance with safety requirements.
Our company “Tīrīšanas darbi” offers a full range of ventilation and exhaust system cleaning services throughout Latvia. Our experienced specialists use high-quality ventilation cleaning equipment, including the “Pressovac” system, developed in cooperation with the Finnish research center VTT, to ensure effective and safe cleaning. “Pressovac” equipment allows you to thoroughly clean ventilation ducts, ensuring compliance with the highest hygiene standards. Thanks to a wide range of brushes and a powerful negative pressure device, our specialists can clean ventilation systems of various sizes and configurations, ensuring optimal air flow and cleanliness.
Dry ventilation cleaning – dry cleaning is primarily intended to remove dust from ventilation supply and exhaust systems. This type of ventilation cleaning is recommended once every five years to maintain clean and safe air circulation in your premises.
Wet ventilation cleaning (grease cleaning) – wet cleaning, which also includes grease removal, is particularly suitable for cleaning the exhaust hoods of public catering establishments. The air duct system is thoroughly washed with special chemicals to remove grease and dirt deposits. This cleaning service should be performed at least once a year to ensure the system’s efficient operation and fire safety.
Catering and food companies – we provide ventilation cleaning for restaurants, pizzerias, cafes and food production facilities where there are high requirements regarding the cleanliness of the exhaust system.
Public buildings – we offer ventilation cleaning services for hotels, office buildings, and shopping centers where clean air circulation is important to promote comfort and a healthy environment.
Industrial facilities – factories and manufacturing plants require regular ventilation cleaning to ensure a safe and healthy working environment.
Private homes – ventilation cleaning is also performed in private homes, including single-family homes, townhouses, and semi-detached homes, where ventilation systems or air recuperators are installed to ensure the flow of fresh air and maintain a healthy environment.
With professional ventilation cleaning services, we help maintain a healthy, fresh, and safe environment for both public and private spaces.
To ensure a full-fledged ventilation cleaning service, we offer a full service – from site inspection and ventilation video inspection to documentation preparation. Our professionals perform a video probe inspection of ventilation ducts to determine the level of contamination and plan the scope of cleaning work. During the cleaning process, we create video and photo materials that show the condition of the ventilation before and after cleaning. After the work is completed, we prepare a full report with the necessary documentation, including a mechanical ventilation inspection report, which confirms the system’s compliance with regulatory requirements and fire safety standards.
With our professional ventilation cleaning service, you will get a reliable and high-quality result that contributes not only to improving the air quality of your premises, but also to increasing the efficiency and safety of the system. Our specialists, with many years of experience and certificates, are trained to use modern cleaning methods that allow you to effectively remove any contamination, including dust, mold, grease and chemical fumes.
Thanks to our ventilation video inspection technology, we can perform a detailed inspection of your system to accurately identify areas of contamination and ensure that cleaning is carried out thoroughly and effectively. This inspection also allows us to visually demonstrate the difference in cleanliness, giving the customer confidence in the quality of our work. Clean ventilation systems not only improve indoor air quality and improve system performance, but also reduce long-term costs, as a regularly cleaned system is more energy efficient and lasts longer.
