“Whose Responsibility Is It To Maintain The Exhaust Ventilation System?…” Is one of our most asked questions.
The exhaust ventilation system and its associated ductwork has been designed specifically to suit the various parts of the building – i.e. studio, one, two, three- bedroom apartments, penthouses, as well as public toilet, recreational and common areas. The system is installed and incorporated within the building at time of construction.
The use and maintenance of the exhaust system is under the control of the Body Corporate by means of exhaust roof ductwork and fan sets. In the majority of instances are located on the roof of the building, or within a plant room.
Apartment owners have no input or say and have no instruction as to any responsibility towards its maintenance.
Air registers and control dampers are installed throughout the ventilation system to ensure maximum exhaust suction can be achieved at all times. Control dampers allow for balancing of the system and an equal distribution of suction at each floor level and throughout the building.
Planned maintenance of the exhaust ventilation system will ensure air moisture content, heat and odour build-up is removed from your residents and guests most personal areas and allow them to breath fresh air, year-round.
Stop unwanted health hazards occurring such as mould formation, bacteria and microbial growth due to increased air moisture content.
So what are the benefits in maintaining your buildings exhaust ventilation system?

Case Studies >
Leading hotels on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane were faced with problems of heavy build-up within their guest rooms. Over time these blockages had resulted in little to no airflow throughout their entire exhaust ventilation system.
Bathroom areas were encountering very poor moisture control and were prone to overheating. Once the system was deep-cleaned these issues were resolved and the system was brought back to its designed criteria.
Proper airflow control in toilet, bathroom, en-suite and laundry areas is paramount in reducing and preventing moisture and heat build-up, especially on those hot 30-degree days.
Moisture and lint/matter build-up within ductwork can also create the ideal breeding ground for mould, microbial content and bacteria.

Client Testimonial >
“The hotel has noticed a massive improvement in the airflow throughout the building. The removal of the debris in the ducts has reduced the potential fire risk and enabled the moisture in the bathrooms to clear quicker.” – Engineering Manager
