Coast IAQ & Life Safety Services: Preventative Maintenance

Deferring maintenance can save money in the moment but can become more costly in the future and prevent a healthcare facility from meeting The Joint Commission’s standards. When maintenance is deferred, the efficiency and longevity of equipment are at risk and so is the health and safety of its occupants. Clean air and working life safety equipment are especially important in healthcare facilities. Repeated use of these systems and equipment – with deferred maintenance, can become more costly than keeping up with routine maintenance. Coast IAQ & Life Safety Services encourages preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance refers to regular and routine maintenance of equipment in order to keep them running and prevent any costly repairs and unexpected downtime.

Important tasks that fall under maintenance include cleaning of air systems and life safety equipment. Coast IAQ & Life Safety Services offers services to help with routine cleaning while helping facilities reach The Joint Commission Standards. Coast’s services include AHU & Coil Cleaning, Duct Cleaning, Kitchen Exhaust Systems & Kitchen Equipment Cleaning, Fire Damper Testing & Repair, Firewall Penetration Repairs (Firestop), and Fire Sprinkler Head Cleaning.

Fire Sprinkler Head Cleaning

Dust, dirt, and other particles covering a fire sprinkler head can insulate its temperature-sensitive glass bulb and compromise its performance – potentially triggering it to go off prematurely, delayed, or not at all. Because the glass bulbs are fragile, it is not recommended that healthcare facilities clean them on their own. The dust and particles can also be homing bacteria from ill patients. There is a potential risk of the bacteria spreading when the sprinklers kick into action. The Coast team will perform contactless cleaning, taking extra care to not damage the heat sensor or set off the sprinkler system. They can also assist your facility by plotting all your sprinklers on a life safety map to reconcile the type and amount of each type of sprinkler in the facility.
