Video Inspection Services

Making sure your HVAC and ductwork systems are in good condition. HVAC video inspection services are a cost-effective way to see those hard to get areas. Visually inspecting duct-work can be ineffective and inconclusive because accessibility is often limited. PROAC Corporation provides

HVAC Video Inspection Services for your duct-work or HVAC system using a state of the art video inspection system. The camera is a battery powered and can be moved through the duct system remotely. The interior of the duct-work can be viewed on a screen, in real time. Problem areas such as water damage, blockages, dust, debris, leaks, and deteriorating insulation can be quickly identified. We can then repair damaged HVAC systems as well as clean your duct work.

HVAC Video Inspection Allows For Better Commercial Services

We are regularly contacted by hospitals, schools, or large office buildings for HVAC inspections and cleanings. When we are contacted because of a smell or air problem, we will find the root of the problem, which is typically buried deep within your HVAC system and ductwork. Our video inspection tool allows us to access the dark far reaches of your duct work where mold can grow, or air pollutants can be produced.

Duct Video Inspection For Commercial Buildings

Commercial buildings are different from residential. A commercial building, whether it be a manufacturing plant or a sprawling hospital campus, has its own ecosystem. It can easily fall apart if that ecosystem is not meticulously managed and cleaned. The HVAC system and ductwork are the lungs of your building and determine the air everyone is breathing.

According to the EPA, the air pollutants indoors can be 2-5 times or up to 100 times more than the pollutants outdoors. This means the air in your building can be worse than the air outside that is filled with pollen, bugs, and exhaust from busy city streets. That is why PROAC does indoor air quality testing. These tests can lead us deeper into the “lungs” of your commercial building to diagnose the source of the problem.

Our professionals are the “doctors” who use video inspection tools to diagnose your building’s breathing problems. Utilizing our video inspection, we have found a variety of issues in the commercial and industrial buildings we work with:

• Video inspection to find mold in your ducts and HVAC system.
• HVAC video inspection to find fiberglass degradation releasing fiberglass particulates into your building’s air system.
• Video inspection to find leaks results in an inefficient HVAC system.
• HVAC video inspection to find the source of odors. A dead animal in your company’s HVAC system can quickly lower workplace morale.
• HVAC video inspection to find damaged diffusers.
• HVAC video inspection to find debris buildup. Are you coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose when you are in your office building? There might be a buildup of debris circulating within your air system.

PROAC Corporation HVAC Video Inspection Services can help identify problem areas in ductwork that may not be evident during a visible inspection.

Plumbers utilize video systems to inspect inaccessible underground pipelines. Security guards utilize video camera systems to look at areas of a building that are not easily seen. PROAC Corporation utilizes a video system capable of traversing the interior of HVAC ductwork to obtain a recording of conditions within that duct system.

HVAC Video Inspection Uses

Leaking ducts are a major source of energy loss in HVAC systems. In some damaged air conditioning systems, pools of condensed water can collect in the ductwork. This pooled moisture can leak through damaged ductwork and travel behind walls or underneath the flooring. Water damage can result in rotting building materials and mold. A video inspection can aid in identifying damaged or leaking ductwork and the areas negatively impacted by these leaks, making remediation activities easier.

Many duct systems in the interior are insulated with fiberglass-type insulation. This insulation can break down over time. Damaged insulation lowers the efficiency of the system, resulting in higher energy costs to maintain set point temperatures. Additionally, fibers from the damaged insulation can be transported into the breathing space, potentially causing respiratory problems to building occupants. A video inspection can aid in identifying damaged insulation.

Nearly all buildings have a heating a cooling system that needs regular maintenance so that the system can continue to operate efficiently. PROAC Corporation uses state of the art video equipment that transmits real time images to the technician so that problems that affect building energy efficiency and occupant comfort can be identified and rectified.
