Post Construction Cleaning Services

Yes, post construction cleaning is necessary for a variety of reasons. When construction work is completed, the site is often left with debris, dust, and other types of waste that can be hazardous to health and safety, as well as detrimental to the appearance and functionality of the space. Post construction cleaning helps to remove all these debris and clean the site to make it usable. Here are some reasons why post construction cleaning is necessary:

• Health and safety: Post construction cleaning helps to remove hazardous materials such as dust, chemicals, and debris that can pose a risk to workers and occupants of the building.
• Appearance: Post construction cleaning helps to remove all the debris and dust that has accumulated during the construction process, leaving the site looking clean and presentable.
• Functionality: Post construction cleaning also ensures that the site is functional and ready for use, by removing any obstacles or hazards that may impede work or access to the space.
• Compliance: Post construction cleaning is often required by local or state regulations to ensure that the site is compliant with safety and environmental standards.

Yes, post-renovation cleaning is necessary to ensure that the space is safe, healthy, and ready for use. Renovations can produce a significant amount of dust, debris, and other materials that can pose health risks and damage to the environment. Post-renovation cleaning involves a thorough cleaning of the site to remove all debris, dust, and other waste materials, leaving it clean and ready for use. Post-renovation cleaning includes tasks such as (please contact us for your specific project needs):

1. Dusting all surfaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, and fixtures.

2. Wiping down all surfaces, including counters, cabinets, and appliances.

3. Cleaning all windows, mirrors, and glass surfaces.

4. Vacuuming all carpets and rugs.

5. Sweeping and mopping all hard floors.

6. Cleaning all fixtures, such as light fixtures, switches, and outlets.

7. Cleaning all appliances, such as stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers.

8. Cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms and kitchens.

9. Removing any construction debris or materials left behind.

A post cleaner is typically a professional cleaning service that specializes in cleaning up a construction site or newly built property after the construction or renovation work is completed. A post cleaner in the cleaning industry may perform a variety of tasks, including the following (please contact us for your specific project needs):

1. Removing construction debris: A post cleaner will remove all debris, such as nails, screws, and other construction materials from the site.

2. Dust removal: Post construction cleaning involves removing all the dust that has accumulated during the construction process.

3. Cleaning surfaces: The post cleaner will clean all surfaces, including floors, walls, windows, and fixtures, to ensure that they are free of dust, dirt, and grime.

4. Polishing: The post cleaner may also polish surfaces to ensure that they look new and shiny.

5. Disinfecting: The post cleaner may also disinfect surfaces to remove any germs and bacteria that may be present on the site.

After construction work is completed, there may be a significant amount of debris, dust, and other waste materials left behind. Cleaning up after construction involves a thorough cleaning of the site to remove all debris and dust, leaving it clean and ready for use. Here are some of the things that are typically cleaned after construction (please contact us for your specific project needs):

1. Floors: All floors, including concrete, tile, hardwood, and carpeting, need to be swept, vacuumed, and mopped to remove dust, debris, and any other construction-related materials.

2. Walls: All walls should be wiped down to remove any dust, paint, or other residue left behind during the construction process.

3. Ceilings: Ceilings may need to be cleaned to remove dust, debris, or any other materials that may have accumulated during the construction process.

4. Windows: All windows should be cleaned to remove dust, dirt, and any other construction-related materials that may have accumulated.

5. Fixtures: Fixtures, such as light fixtures, switches, and outlets, should be cleaned to remove any dust, dirt, or debris that may have accumulated during construction.

6. Appliances: If appliances were installed during construction, they may need to be cleaned to remove any dust or debris that may have accumulated.

7. HVAC systems: The HVAC system may need to be cleaned to remove any construction-related debris, dust, or dirt that may have accumulated in the system.

8. Bathrooms and kitchens: Bathrooms and kitchens may need to be thoroughly cleaned to remove any construction-related debris, dust, or dirt.

The three phases of post construction cleaning are:

1. Rough Cleaning: This is the first phase of post construction cleaning, and it typically takes place during the construction process. The rough cleaning involves removing large debris, such as lumber, drywall, and other construction materials that are no longer needed. This phase may also include sweeping, vacuuming, and removing any trash or other materials that may be present.

2. Final Cleaning: The second phase of post construction cleaning is the final cleaning. This phase takes place after the construction work is completed and typically involves a more detailed cleaning of the site. Final cleaning includes removing any remaining debris, dust, or dirt that may be present, wiping down all surfaces, cleaning all fixtures, and polishing floors if necessary.

3. Touch-up Cleaning: The third and final phase of post construction cleaning is the touch-up cleaning. This phase involves a final inspection of the site to ensure that everything is clean and ready for use. Any remaining debris, dust, or dirt is removed, and any touch-ups or minor cleaning tasks are completed to ensure that the site is ready for occupancy.

The amount of time it takes for construction dust to settle depends on various factors, including the amount of dust produced, the ventilation system, and the humidity levels in the environment. In general, construction dust can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to settle completely.

The larger and heavier dust particles tend to settle more quickly, while the smaller and lighter particles may remain in the air for longer periods. According to the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), the half-life of airborne dust particles (the time it takes for half of the airborne particles to settle) ranges from less than a minute for particles smaller than 0.5 microns to several days for particles larger than 10 microns.

Factors that can affect the settling time of construction dust include the amount of dust produced during construction, the ventilation system used during construction, and the level of activity in the area. For example, if there is ongoing construction work, it can cause dust to remain in the air for longer periods.

In general, it is recommended to wait at least 24 to 48 hours after construction work is completed before attempting to clean up any settled dust to ensure that it has had enough time to settle. It’s important to use proper personal protective equipment and cleaning techniques to avoid inhaling or dispersing the dust during cleanup.
