Critical environment cleaning, certified to ISO 14644-1.
Clean Vault is Alberta's dedicated data centre and server room cleaning specialist. Live-environment technical cleaning with before-and-after particle counts documented in every service report.
No obligation · On-site in Calgary & Edmonton · Report within 48h
Every door swing, cooling cycle, and equipment install carries particulate into your white space. It settles in the subfloor plenum, recirculates through your cooling system, and lands on the hardware you're paid to keep running.
Dust films insulate components and clog intakes, driving fan loads and thermal events. Conductive particles like zinc whiskers can short circuitry outright.
Particulate in detection systems can trigger false alarms, or worse, a full suppressant release. One discharge can cost more than a decade of cleaning.
Hardware vendors and insurers increasingly expect documented environmental conditions. No records means no leverage when a claim or audit lands.
Every service is performed with HEPA-filtered equipment rated to 0.3 microns, anti-static consumables, and protocols designed for occupied, operational facilities. No downtime required.
Complete technical cleans of enterprise server rooms and comms spaces: floor surfaces, subfloor, overhead, and room envelope, scheduled around your operations.
Recurring quarterly or semi-annual programs for data halls and colocation white space, with frequencies matched to your traffic, filtration, and ISO target.
Staged cleans that take a build or retrofit from construction dust to commissioning-ready, verified against ISO 14644-1 before your equipment powers on.
Zinc whisker remediation, flood residue, fire and smoke particulate, suppressant discharge. We stabilize the environment and get you back online.
Laser particle counts, temperature and humidity profiling, and ISO 14644-1 classification testing, delivered as audit-ready documentation for your compliance file.
We start by measuring your environment, because you can't manage contamination you haven't quantified.
Particle counts, visual inspection of white space and plenum, and a walkthrough of your access and security requirements. ~90 minutes on site.
A written scope with frequencies, protocols, and pricing matched to your facility, not a one-size template.
Background-checked, ESD-trained technicians work to your change-control and escort procedures, off-hours if required.
Service report with before/after counts, photos, and exceptions flagged, in your inbox within 48 hours.
General cleaning crews do good work. In offices. Inside white space, standard tools and chemicals actively create risk: moisture, wax residues, static, and unfiltered exhaust.
| Capability | General janitorial | Clean Vault |
|---|---|---|
| HEPA filtration to 0.3 µm | Rarely; standard vacuums recirculate fine dust | Every machine, verified |
| ESD-safe tools & consumables | No; static risk to live hardware | IEC 61340-5-1 aligned |
| Subfloor plenum access & tile lifting | Not trained or insured for it | Core service, safe lift protocols |
| ISO 14644-1 particle verification | Not measured | Counted before & after, documented |
| Anti-static, residue-free chemistry | Waxes & solvents leave ionic residue | Critical-environment approved only |
| Data centre insurance & clearances | General liability only | Insured for critical environments, WCB, background-checked |
Most cleaning vendors hand you an invoice. We hand you evidence: the paper trail your auditors, insurers, and hardware vendors actually ask for.
0.5 µm and 5.0 µm counts per cubic metre, before and after service, mapped against ISO 14644-1 Class 8 thresholds.
Time-stamped imagery of subfloor, overhead, and equipment areas. Proof of work in spaces nobody looks at until something fails.
We report what we find: zinc whisker indicators, moisture, filter bypass, cable debris. Early warnings before they become incidents.
Our 15-page evidence review of how contamination takes data centres offline: the published failure research, the standards that define clean, a contamination risk calendar, and a worksheet for putting numbers to your own facility.
We know the onboarding checklist because we built the company around it. Everything your procurement and security teams need is ready on day one.
The national players fly crews in. We're based in Alberta, which matters at 2 a.m. when a pipe lets go above your raised floor. Serving Calgary and Edmonton, with coverage for critical facilities across Western Canada.
Yes, that's the default. Our protocols are designed for occupied, operational environments: ESD-safe tools, HEPA-sealed vacuums, no liquids near hardware, and controlled tile lifting that never opens more than your airflow can tolerate. Off-hours and low-load windows are available where your change control requires them.
It depends on traffic, construction activity nearby, and filtration quality. Typical programs run quarterly for the white space with an annual subfloor plenum clean, but that's exactly what the free assessment determines. We'll recommend a frequency based on your measured particle levels, not a sales quota.
Unfortunately it can make things worse. Standard vacuums exhaust fine particulate back into the air, cleaning chemicals leave ionic residue on ESD floors, and untrained crews near live racks are a risk your insurer wouldn't love. Technical cleaning is a different discipline with different tools, training, and coverage.
A roughly 90-minute site visit: laser particle counts at multiple points, visual inspection of the white space, subfloor plenum, and overhead pathways, plus a review of filtration and entry controls. You get a written findings summary whether or not you hire us.
Microscopic conductive filaments that grow on electroplated surfaces, often the underside of older floor tiles. When disturbed, they become airborne and can short components. If your facility has raised flooring more than a few years old, an inspection is cheap insurance; remediation is one of our specialty services.
Yes. Certificates of insurance, WCB clearance letters, background-checked staff, and vendor portal registration are standard. For government or high-security facilities, enhanced screening and site-specific security protocols are available.
Tell us about your facility and we'll schedule a site visit within five business days. You'll get particle counts, a findings summary, and a scoped recommendation. No obligation, no pressure.
