DUCTZ Completes Post-Flood Clean Up in Midwest

Air handling systems restored at Iowa Public Works Department and Indiana
Diesel Plant

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The DUCTZ National Service Team
(NST), an affiliate of DUCTZ Indoor Air Professionals, has recently completed
restoration of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that
were severely damaged in the recent Midwest floods. The DUCTZ NST was called
into action for mold remediation and to return the HVAC systems to proper
working order. Restoration service was performed at the Cummins Diesel Plant
in Columbus, Indiana and the Department of Public Works in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The Cummins Diesel Plant, a 1.6 million square foot facility, filled with
muddy river water when a nearby tributary flooded in mid June. The basements
of the main building and the corporate health care facility, and the main
floor of the corporate childcare facility, were contaminated by the flood
waters. The DUCTZ NST was tasked with cleaning and sanitizing the HVAC
systems of these sprawling facilities in a short 3-week time span. DUCTZ
owners from Frisco, Texas and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina were on-site
along with other DUCTZ technicians from across the country and the job was
completed July 7.
At the Cedar Rapids Department of Public Works, a building spanning an
entire city block, flood waters filled the basement and rose to four feet deep
on the main level, requiring the DUCTZ NST to restore the HVAC systems for
both the first and second floors of the building. The DUCTZ NST professionals
assigned to this project included franchise owners from Milwaukee, North
Denver and Colorado Springs. The project started on June 24 and was completed
July 18.
"Though the task was daunting and the impact of flood waters to the
buildings' air systems was severe, our team's dedication persevered," said
Greg Long, DUCTZ NST Director of Operations. "It was an honor to help these
communities recover from such enormous and unfortunate disasters."
