What is ventilation examination and why is it needed

The ventilation system in the house includes equipment and ducts through which air exchange is carried out. With a properly built ventilation system, high-quality air ventilation is ensured. However, even its proper operation requires regular checks.

The importance of a ventilation system in an apartment building cannot be underestimated. In the process of expert measures, vulnerabilities in the studied network are identified, which must be repaired.

Reasons for examination

The examination is carried out in different directions:

• after the installation of the system;
• when detecting breakdowns;
• to check system performance;
• for routine checks;
• if necessary, establish the quality and volume of construction work carried out;
• if it is necessary to determine the market value of the work performed, the installed equipment. The data obtained may be required to confirm the value of the object when taking out insurance or in real estate transactions;
• after an accident, when you need to find out the circumstances that caused it.

The ventilation system can be one of the factors of a negative event.

Why are ventilation studies carried out?

Ventilation studies are carried out by professional experts. Their task is to establish the actual state of the system. The indicators obtained during the survey must comply with the standard values. If, after the installation, a deviation from the accepted standards is immediately found, the builders are obliged to eliminate the deficiencies. Violations can also appear as a result of the operation of the ventilation system. In these cases, thanks to the expertise, it is possible to eliminate the shortcomings in a timely manner.

The examination of ventilation is important not only for finding defects, but also for establishing the causes of their occurrence, in order to ensure the further uninterrupted functioning of the system. According to the results of the study, it is possible to adjust the operation of the ventilation system in the optimal mode in order to create conditions for a comfortable stay in the room. As a result, expert measures can reduce the customer's costs for maintaining ventilation in a working condition. Regular examination provides an opportunity to prevent serious problems by constantly correcting minor problems.

During the examination of ventilation, structural elements are revealed that have worked out their own and will soon be unable to cope with the functions assigned to them. The performed procedure for restoring such parts will ensure the further operation of the system.

What the examination includes

The examination of the ventilation system is a rather complicated procedure. It includes analysis of design documentation, inspection of installation results and technical condition. When ordering an examination, the composition of activities can be adjusted.

When reviewing the design documentation related to the ventilation system of a building, the expert sometimes identifies errors in the design. Also, the compliance of the installed equipment with the declared one and the appropriateness of its use is checked. The research results are recorded in the report, which reflects the detected violations. In addition to fixing the shortcomings, the expert gives the customer instructions on how to modify the ventilation system to a standard state.

Checking the quality of the installation, the automation systems and the installation of air ducts are examined.All elements of the ventilation system must comply with existing requirements.

At the stage of inspection of the technical condition of ventilation, a visual and instrumental inspection is performed. In this case, modern devices are used (sound level meters, multimeters, video equipment). This toolkit facilitates the recording of detailed and accurate information regarding the ventilation system. The use of the necessary instruments for the survey of networks in an apartment building ensures the possibility of obtaining quick and correct results.

Based on the available data, an actual picture emerges representing the state of the ventilation system. In the process of checking, all the shortcomings and defects are noticed. The expert draws his conclusions about the degree of health of the ventilation, as well as its suitability for use. It is important to establish the causes of deficiencies in order to recommend an effective way to eliminate the defects.

Conclusion of the study

The expert opinion is a document that displays the results of the survey. At the very beginning of the expert events, specific questions are posed to the specialist. In the conclusion, clear and reasonable answers should be given to them. The customer will be able to use the information received, resolving controversial issues in the pre-trial order, as well as in the framework of court proceedings. An objective opinion with references to clauses of regulatory documents and with photographs serves as important evidence in court. This document increases the chance of a plaintiff or defendant to obtain the desired result.
