Air Duct Cleaning for Healthcare Facilities & Hospitals in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts

At Mechanical Hygiene Services, LLC (MHS), we provide professional air duct cleaning services designed specifically for healthcare environments. This includes hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, labs, and long-term care facilities across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. 

Healthcare buildings demand more than basic cleaning. Air systems must support infection control, patient safety, and strict regulatory compliance. That’s where we come in. 

Why Air Duct Cleaning Is Critical in Healthcare Services

Hospitals and other medical institutions have continuous air circulation. It moves between wards, surgery rooms, patient rooms, and public spaces. Airflow from dirty or polluted ductwork may carry unwanted particles throughout the building.

This may include:

  • Bacterial and viral
  • Spores of a fungus
  • Dust and leftover construction waste
  • Chemical emissions and medical residues

Regular air duct cleaning is directly linked to maintaining these dangers. It helps:

  • Minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)
  • Protect those whose immune systems are weakened.
  • Make the air cleaner for patients, staff, and guests.
  • Respect legal and accrediting requirements

In sensitive areas like operating rooms and isolation rooms, maintain the proper air pressure. Clean ducting promotes safer care. It really is that simple.

Why Healthcare Facilities Choose MHS

  • ICRA Compliance: All work follows Infection Control Risk Assessment protocols.
  • NADCA Standards: Cleaning performed to industry-recognized best practices.
  • Healthcare Experience: Proven work in active hospitals and medical buildings.
  • Minimal Disruption: Work coordinated around patient care and operations.
  • Documentation Ready: Reports suitable for audits, compliance, and records.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Services for Hospitals

Supply & Return Duct Cleaning

We clean both supply and return ducts to remove built-up dust, debris, and microbial matter using HEPA-filtered equipment, so contaminants are captured safely and not released back into the building. 

Critical Area Duct Cleaning

Sensitive spaces need extra care. This includes operating rooms, isolation rooms, ICUs, NICUs, pharmacies, and clean rooms. Cleaning in these areas is carried out under strict containment, with controlled airflow and pressure to protect patients and staff at all times.

Infection-Control Cleaning Methods

Every project follows infection-control protocols. Work zones are fully sealed, negative air pressure is used where required, and only HEPA-filtered equipment is allowed. This keeps airborne particles contained and prevents them from spreading to occupied areas.

Post-Construction Duct Cleaning

After renovations, expansions, or equipment upgrades, ductwork often contains fine dust and construction residue. We professionally remove these contaminants and ensure a safe environment.

Exhaust Duct Cleaning

We clean exhaust systems serving restrooms, laboratories, soiled utility rooms, and isolation areas. Proper exhaust cleaning supports odor control, maintains correct pressure balance, and plays an important role in infection prevention.

Mold & Microbial Remediation

If mold or microbial growth is found inside the duct system, we identify the source and address it safely. Contaminated areas are cleaned and treated using hospital-grade antimicrobial solutions that are appropriate for healthcare environments.

Commitment to Health and Safety: ICRA-Compliant Services

Every healthcare project begins with an ICRA-based work plan. Our approach includes:
