The operation of ventilation and hoods is invisible, but it is one of the main systems in apartment building and provides comfortable accommodation in the apartment. Without proper functioning, unpleasant odors will appear in the premises from the entrance, toilet and kitchen.

In addition, lack of ventilation leads to the formation of mold and mildew on the walls and ceiling. Let's look at how a hood works in the kitchen, bathroom or toilet. And we will find out what to do in this case.

How to check the operation of the hood

If the windows in the room fog up and foreign odors remain for a long time, there are most likely problems with the functioning of the ventilation on the walls or ceiling.

Let's look at how to check if the hood is working. To do this, take a small piece of paper. A toilet paper will do, but it’s better not to use regular newspaper, since a thin piece of paper is used for such purposes.

Open the window in one room by 5-8 centimeters and attach the leaf to the hood grille. If the paper is attracted, the hood works. If the leaf does not hold and falls, the ventilation has stopped working. In addition, the paper may fly off the grid.

This means that the hood works in the opposite direction, and foreign odors enter the apartment. Let's find out why it works incorrectly or poorly or has stopped working altogether. And we will find out what to do if the hood in the kitchen, bathroom or toilet does not work.

Why doesn't the hood work?

• Clogged ventilation is the most obvious and common cause of the problem. In this case, you need to unscrew the grill and remove the debris that is there. If it is located within reach, you can remove the waste yourself. However, most often it is construction waste that is located deep in the ventilation openings. Then only a specialist can clean the ventilation;
• The neighbors above your apartment use forced exhaust ventilation, which creates excess pressure and reverse draft. As a result, your hood works in the opposite direction;
• Neighbors, due to improper actions during repair or installation of equipment, may block the ventilation;
• Initially incorrectly installed ventilation network in the house;
• New ones with high tightness block the flow of air into the room, which is necessary for normal ventilation. In this case, you need to open the window slightly and leave a small gap, or use “bulk” ventilation, when all the windows are fully opened for a short period of time and the apartment is ventilated;
• Lack of heating leads to poor or insufficient ventilation, since the latter functions due to the height of the air column, pressure and temperature differences. As a result, a decrease in temperature in the apartment negatively affects the operation of the hood.

Where to go if the hood does not work

First of all, the question arises, where to go when the hood in the apartment does not work. Regardless of the reason, you need to contact the organization that controls the apartment building and is responsible for providing utilities. This is the housing office Management Company or HOA.

You need to write a statement about non-functioning or poorly functioning ventilation in the apartment. Here they describe the essence of the problem, ask to understand, resolve the issue and punish the perpetrators.

After accepting the appeal, an expert comes to the apartment, checks the operation of the ventilation and draws up a report in the presence of two neighbors, and in the near future the employees of the management organization or the HOA must fix the problem.

After inspection, utility employees must make decisions. Violations are eliminated within 45 days from the date of issuance of this resolution. If there is a blockage, utility workers must clear the ventilation passages.

If neighbors are the cause of non-functional ventilation, they must eliminate installation errors utility networks. At design features A household exhaust fan is installed at home.

If the management organization does not respond to the application, you can complain to a higher authority. Write a complaint to the State Housing Inspectorate, Rospotrebnadzor or the Prosecutor's Office. You can send an application to three authorities at once.

Evidence must be attached to the complaint. This is an act on checking the operation of ventilation, a copy of the contract with the management company and directly the application that you sent to the organization. Therefore, when filing a complaint with a company, HOA or housing office, be sure to make a copy.

In addition, the organization’s response and resolution, if these documents are available, are attached to the complaint. You can attach photographs and videos of a non-working hood, mold or mildew.

Other ways to fix the problem

To ensure that the hood in the bathroom, toilet or kitchen effectively copes with the task, you can install forced ventilation. Such a system works passively by switching on. In the toilet, as a rule, the switching on occurs simultaneously with the light switching on. However, you can also make a separate switch for the hood.

In the kitchen, ventilation is installed above the stove in the form of a socket. This system eliminates unpleasant odors and smoke. In addition, it reduces the accumulation of grease on walls, furniture, ceilings and other surfaces. How to clean the kitchen from grease, read.

To maintain fresh air in the apartment, install supply valves. To do this, make additional holes in the wall between the battery and the window. These openings act like cracks in windows and provide regular access. fresh air from the street.

The valves are placed at an angle to the wall and covered with a grille; a soundproofing box is installed inside. At the same time, they are more effective and less noticeable than the cracks of a slightly open window.

To install supply valves, it is important that the holes in the wall match the diameter of the air duct. A suitable diameter would be 6-10 centimeters.

Many residents multi-storey buildings, especially in old buildings, can tell you what culinary preferences their neighbors have, what they treated themselves to for dinner and what they served for lunch. However, we are not talking about telepathy; the neighbor’s menu can be recognized simply by the smell that is felt in the apartment.

If this happens constantly, it means that it is necessary to clean the ventilation, which has ceased to cope with the functions assigned to it. Our recommendations will help restore normal air exchange in the apartment. Minor blockages can be eliminated on your own, but to solve more complex problems you will have to call in specialists.

We will tell you how the ventilation system of a house works, what are the reasons and signs of its malfunction. Here you will learn how to arrange the removal of exhaust air and the supply of fresh air. For visual understanding, photo selections, diagrams, and videos are attached to the article.

The air we breathe in the apartment only seems clean. In fact, it absorbs all the odors coming from the kitchen, carbon monoxide from the stove. Dust particles, lint from clothes, carpets, pet hair.

Harmful microorganisms and bacteria accumulate in the air, which contribute to the development of serious diseases; moisture and steam coming from the bathroom cause the formation of fungus and stains. All this negatively affects the microclimate of the room, contributes to the appearance of lung diseases, allergies and other ailments.

If they did not lead to the desired result, and the draft in the channel remained at the same level, then there is a blockage in the common shaft. This is already work special services, which can be called through the Criminal Code.

Licensed companies use professional equipment and special cleaning technologies that are selected after a thorough examination of the canal and taking into account its current condition

Upgrading the system to improve performance

In old houses mechanical cleaning repair of a ventilation shaft, even by specialized services, does not always bring the desired effect. However, it is possible to increase air circulation in the apartment. There are several quite available ways improving ventilation.

If you decide to replace the old ones wooden windows to modern metal-plastic structures, choose double-glazed windows equipped with a micro-ventilation function. If you purchased regular plastic windows, you can install them on them. additional devices, providing a flow of fresh air from the street.

Ventilation repair cost

The cost of repairs greatly depends on the type of equipment, diagnostic results and the nature of the breakdown, and therefore we can calculate it only based on the results of the visit and expert assessment. In addition, the final cost of work is influenced by secondary factors, such as the complexity of the system, the difficulty of accessing system elements, Current state equipment and other factors. For an accurate cost estimate, please contact our engineers.

Ventilation failure is an event from which no one is immune. Any element of the system can break. It may be a device that does not provide direct influence for the operation of the entire ventilation network (for example, a throttle valve to regulate air flow). But it may also be one of the main elements of the system (fan, heater, etc.), without restoring its functionality, the functioning of the system is impossible or unacceptable. Note: The Contractor reserves the right in individual cases to adjust the price list prices, depending on the complexity of the work, the condition of the equipment and the ability to access it.

Why does ventilation fail?

Reasons why ventilation fails. Our experience shows that breakdowns often occur due to three main reasons:
- poor quality installation,
- errors in operation,
- neglect of maintenance.

Periodic and high-quality maintenance strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations allows you to avoid most emergency situations. That is why we pay so much attention to ventilation maintenance work.

Why do we recommend calling a repair specialist at the first sign of a ventilation problem? The fact is that we often had to deal with situations where the situation was aggravated directly by the Customer (or the Customer’s maintenance service), who, having noticed a malfunction, decided to fix everything themselves.
However, without constant practice of repairing equipment, the operation service does not know all the features of climate control equipment, as well as the relationships between various elements of the system (for example, interlocking operation of the outdoor air valve and fan, heater and fan, etc.). As a result do-it-yourself repair ventilation led to even greater damage.

Our company’s specialists have had to deal with many examples of worsening situations. At one of the facilities, a three-way valve in the water heater piping failed. IN winter time The operation service took action to force water to flow through the heater, which, after an accidental power outage, led to its defrosting. Instead of replacing one valve, the heater itself, pipes and fittings had to be changed.

Supply ventilation repair

Supply ventilation is the main component of any household climate system, since its task is to replace carbon dioxide-saturated indoor air with oxygen-rich outdoor air. If you do not take into account natural ventilation through windows and other openings, then installation supply ventilation comes down to diamond drilling holes in the walls and installing ventilation pipes and special equipment in them. These are actually fans that pump in fresh air, as well as filters that are designed to clean the air coming from the street. It is no secret that in big cities, especially in Moscow, the atmosphere outside the window can be much more harmful than the air in a residential or industrial building.

For supply ventilation, cleaning and replacing filters is the most common type of maintenance. It is usually done without dismantling the pipes, right on site. Also common problem ventilation ducts freeze in winter as a result of a breakdown or shutdown heating elements. R repair of heaters and ventilation heat exchangers should only be entrusted to specialists, since unprofessionalism can only aggravate the situation and force you to live with windows that are always open and drafts.

Exhaust ventilation repair

Household air exchange systems are rarely purely supply and purely exhaust. They usually combine both functions. There is a pitfall here that manifests itself when the system is installed incorrectly. We are talking about unbalanced air flows. Either the hood is too strong, or it is not able to effectively clean the air in the room. In such cases, Ecolife specialists, using special equipment, measure air flows with further reconstruction of existing air exchange systems.

Ventilation repair in a private house

Repair supply and exhaust ventilation in a cottage as a whole does not differ from renovation in an apartment, you just need to make allowances for the large area of ​​​​a private house and the fact that the polluted air exits not through the common house ventilation duct, but through autonomous system. In cottages, ventilation is usually installed according to a special design, taking into account the area of ​​​​all rooms and calculating the optimal consumption of fresh air. Also, most cottages have air conditioning or climate control systems.

Repair of ventilation of apartment buildings

Performed by our specialists and ventilation repair apartment buildings . Very often, especially in old houses, standard equipment cannot cope with effective air exchange and we have to modernize it - install forced ventilation instead of natural or replace pumps in forced exhaust systems with more powerful ones. Also relevant is a major overhaul of ventilation, which is best combined with a major overhaul of the entire house. But since the temporary resource of ventilation is less than the resource of walls and ceilings, we have to solve problems as they accumulate. Naturally, ventilation replacement should be carried out in the summer or at least in the off-season.

Industrial ventilation repair

The most difficult tasks have to be solved during installation and maintenance ventilation systems V production premises and on commercial real estate. Even in a simple office good ventilation has a much greater significance than in an apartment - primarily due to the abundance of magnetic fields induced by office electronics. There is nothing to say about industrial enterprises, especially if the production process is associated with the release harmful substances. It is important not only to clean the air of a workshop or warehouse, but also to prevent harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Our specialists carry out diagnostics and inspections of “sponsored” production facilities at least once every six months.
The volume of repair and maintenance work on commercial real estate is much higher also because there is a wider range of climate control equipment. Today it is difficult to imagine an office or store in Moscow without air conditioners, split systems, humidifiers and fragrances. In production, in addition to the complex general supply and exhaust system, local ventilation. For example, in hot workshops, forced cooling of workplaces with cold air is organized, and in chemical production plants a powerful exhaust is required, which does not allow the concentration of harmful vapors or dust. All this equipment requires regular maintenance, as replacement and ventilation duct repair in production at times more expensive than repairs conventional exhaust ventilation in a residential building.

Diagnostics, cost and timing of ventilation repairs

To identify defective system elements and determine the cost and duration of repairs, equipment diagnostics are performed. Based on its results, a malfunction report is drawn up. Next, based on the data obtained, repairs are made. It should be noted that a number of modern intelligent equipment have built-in self-diagnosis functions indicating error codes, so decoding is required in accordance with the repair instructions from the manufacturer. Accordingly, it is necessary that equipment diagnostics and repairs be performed by qualified personnel.

Repair of ventilation systems in some cases can be performed directly on site. This ensures low cost repair work, low overhead costs, and work can be completed in as soon as possible. It often takes one to five days to restore the system.

However, sometimes it is necessary to dismantle the equipment and replace components or repair it at the factory. At the same time, the cost of work increases due to logistics costs, and the deadlines can be increased if the required parts are custom-made items with long terms supplies.

It should be especially noted that repairs of climate control equipment must be carried out by qualified and experienced specialists. The point is that in modern equipment high-tech and intelligent solutions are used, and even basic actions (such as access to service menu controller, error analysis, access to internal parts system elements, etc.) require special skills and training.

That is why the staff of ECOLIFE Group specialists undergo regular training, both general and according to the programs of specific manufacturers. As a result, more and more often we have to deal with situations where any of the third-party companies that do not have sufficient specialists could no longer cope with the repair.

Proper ventilation repair from Ecolife Group of Companies

Like any service company, we believe that disease is always easier to prevent than to treat. Modern ventilation and climate control equipment from leading manufacturers has high efficiency and degree of reliability. Main - correct installation and proper operation. It is much more profitable for both us and the system operator to spend a little time on timely diagnostics than to spend serious money on repairs, during which the room is ventilated according to a temporary scheme or remains completely without ventilation.

Cleaning the ventilation in the apartment

The apartment is our cozy corner where you can hide and relax from the bustle of the city. Is our home safe? Unfortunately not always!

This is what a ventilation duct looks like in one of the apartments in the Moscow region before and after cleaning:

Air flow rate:

• before cleaning - less than 0.3 m.sec.
• after cleaning – 1.5 m.sec.

Bacteria, fungi and microbes are one side of the coin. Another is the lack of normal air exchange in the room.

Cost of cleaning ventilation in an apartment

If there is no impulse (draft) at all in the ventilation duct, this indicates a blockage of the duct. The cost of blockage removal is estimated individually, based on the results of a video examination.

When it's time to clean the ventilation

Note:

• You clean regularly, but the next day you notice a thin layer of dust on the floor.
• Another day later, clouds of dust and lint formed in some corners.
• The ventilation grille is overgrown with dirty scabs.
• IN summer period The apartment is hot and stuffy.

Don’t be lazy, take a piece of paper and bring it to the ventilation grille, it should at least tilt towards it, and best case scenario be attracted to her. If this does not happen, it is time to call a ventilation duct cleaner, who, using a special device (Anemometer), will check the presence of draft, speed, temperature and humidity of the air, determine the reasons for the poor performance of the ventilation system and, of course, clean the ventilation in the apartment.

Types of ventilation ducts in apartments

IN various types apartment buildings exist different kinds ventilation systems with separate channels or central risers. In apartments with separate ventilation shafts, to perform cleaning work, access to the roof of a residential building is required, so before placing an order, please find out from the operating organization the possibility of gaining access.

Ventilation cleaning is carried out special equipment, a team of qualified smoke and ventilation duct cleaners who have the appropriate certificates.

Many people believe that the operating organizations (housing office, housing department, homeowners association) should clean the ventilation. Yes, this is indeed true, but in practice this does not happen. It’s up to you to clean or not to clean yourself, but know that your health is at stake!

Special offer for housing offices, management companies and homeowners associations - Cleaning of ventilation shafts!

Residents of apartment buildings do not always agree to carry out work to clean the ventilation in their apartments, therefore, in order to comply with fire safety standards and regulations, as well as the requirements of sanitary services, we offer cleaning of ventilation shafts, without vents to apartments.

For getting additional information about the service and placing an order, call us and our specialists will advise you on all your questions.

The list of works on these systems is also provided for by the Decree of the State Construction Committee of the Russian Federation dated September 27, 2003 N 170 “On approval of the Rules and Standards for the Technical Operation of the Housing Stock.” If the management company has drawn up a management agreement excluding certain mandatory clauses for the maintenance of the house, it should be changed, those who want to take its place are quickly found today, and if it does not want to do what it should, contact the housing inspectorate, which monitors compliance with the requirements of the above rules.

Natural ventilation in an apartment building

Organized natural ventilation in a residential building is air exchange that occurs due to the difference in air density inside the building and outside, through specially designed exhaust and supply openings.

For ventilation of premises in a residential apartment building, a natural ventilation system is provided. Let's figure out how it works and how it works.

Natural ventilation device

In each entrance from the first floor to the last there is a common ventilation duct that runs vertically from below, upward with access either to the attic or directly to the roof (depending on the project). Satellite ducts are connected to the main ventilation duct, the beginning of which is usually located in the bathroom, kitchen and toilet.

Through these satellite channels, the “exhaust” air leaves the apartments, enters the common ventilation shaft, passes through it and is discharged into the atmosphere.

It seems that everything is extremely simple and such a mechanism should work flawlessly. But there are many things that can interfere with the normal operation of ventilation.

The most important thing in work natural ventilation the fact that sufficient air must enter the apartment. According to the projects, according to SNiP, this air must enter through “leaks” window openings, and also by opening the windows.

Excerpt from SNiP 2.08.01-89 (minimum air exchange parameters for an apartment).

But we all understand that modern windows when closed, they do not allow sound or air to pass through.

How to clean and check ventilation in an apartment building

It turns out that you need to keep the windows open all the time, which naturally is not possible for a number of reasons.

Causes of disruption of natural ventilation

• Re-equipment of ventilation ducts

It happens that ventilation stops working due to active neighbors who could simply break the ventilation duct to expand the living space. In this case, the ventilation will stop working for all residents whose apartments are located below.

• Debris in the ventilation duct

It often happens that something gets into the ventilation shaft and simply does not allow the air to move freely. If this happens, then you need to contact the appropriate structure; it is prohibited to climb into the ventilation duct yourself.

• Not correct connection exhaust hoods

Another common problem is connecting high-power kitchen hoods (hoods) to a satellite channel that is not intended for this purpose. And when such an exhaust hood is turned on, then a airlock, which disrupts the operation of the entire system.

• Seasonality

Unfortunately, the operation of the natural ventilation system is also affected temperature regime, in the cold season it works better, and in the summer, when the temperature outside rises, it works weaker. Added to this are several negative points described above, and the operation of the entire system comes to naught.

And of course, there are mistakes during construction made by the contractor for one reason or another... Only the installation of supply and exhaust ventilation equipment will help here.

Natural ventilation works all year round 24 hours a day. Therefore, a round-the-clock air flow into the room is necessary. If it doesn’t exist, then in winter when closed windows Condensation may form, humidity may increase, and mold may form. To avoid this, install supply valves, this will improve ventilation in the room and get rid of excess moisture.

To organize good air exchange in the apartment all year round. A ventilator will need to be installed. Thanks to this device, you will not have to open the windows, and fresh and clean air will always flow into your apartment.

If this is an apartment building, then contact your management company, write a statement, and they will decide for themselves whether to clean the ventilation ducts on their own or submit an application to a specialized organization.

Smell from the sink drain. Cause of formation and solutions unpleasant odor. The corrugation under the sink should be curved so that the water stands there and the smell does not leak out of the drain. Either your drain is done incorrectly (there is no water seal), or the top of the riser is clogged/closed and the water seal is breaking. This happened to us after the cap. renovations in the house when everything metal pipes replaced with plastic ones. I buy Tiret for odor and use it periodically. Moreover, such garbage is only in the kitchen, but in the bathroom everything is fine.

How to keep the house clean, how to make sure the house is always clean. Order both in the house and around it depends mainly on our attitude towards cleanliness, more precisely, on the attitude of each family member towards it.

How do you take care of your bathroom? How often do you wash everything in the bathroom? I understand that you are renting an apartment. Then do this. Try not to close the bathroom door for a while so that the dampness disappears. There may be a ventilation problem. Clean the bathtub with Persol, Comit, and then treat it with baking soda slurry... Once a week I thoroughly clean it, and every day I just maintain it. Nowadays there are so many means to maintain cleanliness.

It was as if someone had died in the bathroom. Maybe it's the drain that smells like that? Now it’s autumn, the mice are dying, and it could also be from the ventilation, the same mouse died, or a bird got into the ventilation and also died, although we had such a stink once until it turned out that our Kyrgyz neighbors were drying meat in the kitchen, and everything stank entrance... It all starts from the basement. If the house is multi-story and you are on the lower floors, then most likely the ventilation is coming from the basement

The towels in the bathroom don't dry. What should I do? 1 Clean the ventilation. But this won’t necessarily help; neighbors on the upper floors often drown it out. they have very strong draft.2 Install an electric fan in the air duct so that the air goes there faster. There is no other way out for the heater, otherwise it will go out. Check the ventilation. It definitely needs to be cleaned. There is a coil or for a heater! Indeed, check the ventilation - you need to attach a sheet of paper to the outlet and if the paper is attracted, then there is a draft; if not, call a specialist and have them clean the ventilation. And leave the door open after washing.
