Duct inspection
BioVac: accurate and standard-compliant duct inspection
At BioVac, we understand that indoor air quality largely depends on the cleanliness and condition of ventilation ducts. Over time, HVAC systems accumulate contaminants such as dust, debris, mold, and other pollutants. Our inspection service assesses the level of contamination inside the ducts according to current standards, including those set by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS). A thorough inspection helps identify potential issues and prevent risks associated with clogged or faulty systems.
Duct contamination levels
The level of duct contamination is classified into three categories :
Level 1 : normal situation, no action required.
Level 2 : above-normal dust accumulation. Cleaning is required.
Level 3 : critical condition with high contamination. Immediate intervention is necessary.
From Level 2 onward, cleaning is essential to maintain a healthy and standard-compliant environment.
What elements are inspected?
During our duct inspection, we evaluate several key aspects :
- System cleanliness: Assessment of accumulated dust levels.
- Dust analysis: Identification of particle types.
- Microbial contamination risks: Detection of mold, bacteria, or other pathogens.
- Internal component inspection: Identification of defective elements affecting performance.
- Leak detection: Verification of duct airtightness.
- Particle and dust analysis: Laboratory testing for deeper analysis.
Our inspections are conducted based on client requirements and in compliance with applicable standards.
A duct inspection can also uncover inconsistencies in duct placement. It is common for original building plans to be outdated or no longer reflect the current layout. In such cases, BioVac:
- Identifies the actual location of the ducts
- Counts and analyzes modifications made over time
- Creates an up-to-date duct layout plan to ensure effective HVAC system management
