Preventive Maintenance for Controlled IT Environments

Sub-floor spaces in data centers and server rooms are critical to maintaining the performance of essential equipment. Equipment failure is often the result of poor maintenance or improper cleaning techniques. To prevent overheating, fire hazards, and potential downtime, industry best practices recommend conducting annual sub-floor cleaning. Raised access floors are designed to facilitate air circulation and provide pathways for cables, making it crucial to keep the sub-floor air plenum free from dust and contaminants that can enter equipment and impact cooling efficiency.

Key Features of Sub-Floor Cleaning
Our sub-floor cleaning services focus on a comprehensive cleaning of all elements beneath raised access flooring, including:

  • Tile edges and undersides
  • Grilles and airflow systems
  • Pedestals and stringers
  • Cables, cable trays, and power points
  • Floor surfaces and any equipment housed under the floor

We use only certified electrical cleaning equipment specifically designed for IT environments, ensuring compliance with all safety standards. Our methods prioritize the controlled and minimal use of moisture, protecting critical components such as smoke detectors, moisture sensors, cables, and power points within the air plenum.
