Kirkland DUCTZ Owner Helps Restore Monte Carlos in Las Vegas

February 22, 2008 - Al Fenkner of Kirkland, WA is part of the 72-person DUCTZ National Service Team that was called in to action for the immediate restoration of conditioned air systems at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas following the fire on January 25. All 3000 hotel rooms were evacuated after smoke and debris contaminated most of the guest room and rooftop air handling and duct systems.. The DUCTZ National Service Team was tasked with restoring the hotel’s indoor air quality to pre-fire conditions in time for the hotel’s opening on February 15.

Al Fenkner, and other members of the team cleaned and restored nearly 1,600 guest rooms and the entire air handling system that provides air to all of the hotel’s common areas. With the Monte Carlo facing a huge financial loss for every day the hotel remained vacant, the DUCTZ team committed to completing their portion of the work only ten days after they began.

“After a fire, one of the biggest health concerns is restoring the indoor air quality and eliminating dangerous contaminants from a building’s duct systems,” said Fenkner. “Upon completion of the Monte Carlo restoration project, hotel patrons will be able to rest easy knowing that the air inside the rooms is clean and safe.”

The DUCTZ National Service Team deploys specially-trained owners and technicians of DUCTZ businesses nationwide to restore indoor air quality following disasters. Depending on the severity of the disaster, service provided includes cleaning and restoration of the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system components, including ductwork.

Poor indoor air quality, as resulted in the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino, has been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a serious public health concern. It can aggravate allergies and asthma, and have a severe negative impact on those residing in a contaminated building.
