Risks and compliance drivers in food & beverage processing plants
Food processing in Metro Atlanta, GA share a specific set of failure modes in their HVAC systems. Below are the four we are called about most, and the standards that govern how each one has to be corrected and documented.
Listeria and mold harborage
Ceiling voids and return plenums are classic harborage points auditors check first.
Allergen carryover
Shared air paths move allergen dust between production rooms.
Audit non-conformances
Visible overhead soil is one of the fastest ways to lose points in a GFSI audit.
| Standard | How it applies |
|---|---|
| IICRC-certified source removal | Documented source removal and verification of the full system. |
| NFPA 96 | Grease-bearing exhaust cleaning where cooking processes are present. |
| FDA / GFSI expectations | Overhead sanitation evidence for third-party food-safety audits. |
| EPA-registered sanitizers | Food-contact-appropriate chemistry with logged application. |
What duct cleaning & decontamination includes
Complete source-removal cleaning of supply, return and trunk lines, air handlers, coils and drain pans, finished with EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment.
- HEPA vacuum extraction on every accessible run
- Coil, blower, plenum and drain pan cleaning
- EPA-registered antimicrobial application with logged dwell time
- Before/after camera footage per zone
Our five-step field process
Every project follows the same sequence, whether it is one air handler or a full campus. Each step produces evidence that ends up in your handover report.
Fiber-optic & robotic camera inspection
Every system is filmed before a brush touches it. The baseline footage sets the scope, identifies damage and closed dampers, and becomes the first half of your before/after record.
Negative pressure containment & HEPA filtration
Work zones are isolated and held under negative pressure with HEPA-filtered machines, so debris leaves through the equipment instead of into the occupied building.
Mechanical agitation, brushing & vacuum extraction
Rotary brushes, air whips and compressed-air tools release bonded debris while the vacuum holds continuous capture — source removal, not surface dusting.
EPA-registered antimicrobial disinfection
Once the system is physically clean, labeled antimicrobial chemistry is applied to duct interiors, coils and pans, with product, dilution and dwell time logged.
Air quality audit & compliance report
Post-clean camera footage, airflow readings and particle counts are compiled into one report with technician credentials, standards applied and a floor-plan reference.
Food processing FAQ
Can you work during a sanitation shift?
That is usually the right window. We mobilize after line teardown, work under containment with product surfaces covered, and clear the area before pre-op inspection.
What chemistry do you use over food zones?
Only EPA-registered products labeled for the application, applied per label and logged. Product-contact surfaces are protected throughout and the SDS package goes into your sanitation file.
How long does a full decontamination take?
A single air handler and its branch runs is typically one shift. Full-building programs are scoped per system so you get a phase-by-phase schedule before mobilization rather than an open-ended project.
How often should a commercial system be cleaned?
Most commercial systems fall in a three to five year cycle. High-occupancy, high-dust or high-moisture facilities move to annual or biannual intervals — we set the interval from the baseline inspection, not a sales rule.
Do you work nights, weekends and shutdowns?
Yes. Most commercial work in Metro Atlanta runs outside normal operating hours. We build the schedule around your occupancy and hand each area back clean and ready for use before your team returns.
