When was the last time you cleaned your ductwork?  NADCA, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association, recommends a visual inspection of residential ductwork every 2 years.  Pull one of the return vents off the wall in the kitchen or bathroom and take a look.

Dust and dirt can accumulate in the ductwork and fan blades of your ventilation system.  Regular cleaning will keep the pipes clean and your equipment working like new.  Dirt and gunk build up can significantly reduce the effectiveness of your ventilation system.

We have the various ways of cleaning your ductwork.  We start with a video inspection of the ducts.  Then we hook up a 5000 CFM HEPA equiped vaccume to the ductwork.  From the far end we run a Rotobrush with a rotating bristles through the ductwork to scrub the pipes clean from the inside, working our way carefully through the entire ventilation system.  If the ventilation system uses stud bays or floor cavities and there are wires or pipes in the way, we have a Viper high pressure air whip system that can safely blast the dirt and debris from the walls of the cavities without damaging the pipes or wires.  All dust and debris is collected by the Negative Air machine. 

We will disconnect the ductwork as needed to access the entire system.  Our soft bristle rotating brush on a 35' flexible vaccum hose will travel all through the ductwork, even through air flow measuring stations.  After cleaning, all of the ductwork is in like new condition.

After thoroughly cleaning the ductwork, we can fog the ductwork with EPA registered product called Envirocon that is a Deodorizer/Bacteriostat/Germistat/Fungistat. The end result is your duct system is clean and fresh.  If there is an identified problem requiring a more aggressive approach, there are additional products available.

The final step in the cleaning process is to reconnect the ductwork, service the HRV, and then rebalance the airflow through the HRV as well as checking the airflow in all rooms of the house.
