Every room in your home breathes through the same set of ducts. We clean them, restore what moisture has damaged, and leave the space exactly as we found it.
Drop cloths down, vents covered, equipment staged where it will not mark a wall or a floor.
We photograph the inside of the system when we start and again when we finish. No claims you cannot check.
We walk the system before we quote, so the price you agree to is the price at the end.
Negative air pressure pulls debris out of the system instead of pushing it into the rooms you live in.
Most homes need one of these. Some need all four, usually after water got somewhere it should not have. We will tell you which, and we will tell you if the answer is none of them.
Supply lines, return lines, registers and the blower compartment. We seal the system, pull it under negative pressure, and agitate each run so what comes loose leaves the house instead of settling in the next room.
If dust is back on the sideboard the day after you cleaned it, the ductwork is usually the reason. We clear the reservoir the system has been recirculating.
Mold in a duct is a moisture problem wearing a costume. We remove what has grown, then find the leak, the condensation or the humidity that fed it, so it does not come back in a season.
After a leak, a burst line or a long wet summer, cleaning is only half of it. We repair crushed and disconnected runs, replace insulation that has taken on water, and reseal joints that have been leaking conditioned air into a crawlspace for years.
You can see a dirty floor. You cannot see the inside of a duct run above the ceiling, which is why it goes twenty years without anyone opening it.
A loaded system holds years of drywall dust, fibres, hair and skin. Every time the blower starts, some of it goes back into the room.
Ducts sweat in humid months and sit in unconditioned crawlspaces. Damp insulation and standing condensation are what turn a dusty system into a growing one.
Blocked returns and leaking joints make the equipment run longer to reach the same temperature. You feel that in comfort first and in the bill after.
If someone in the house has asthma, allergies or a new baby in the room, the air they breathe all night is worth being sure about.
No surprises halfway through. You know what is happening in your house before anyone opens a vent.
We open registers, look inside the runs and check the equipment. Then we tell you what we found, including when the honest answer is that it does not need doing yet.
Floors covered, corners padded, hoses routed so nothing drags across a wall. The work should not leave a mark anywhere except inside the ductwork.
The system goes under negative pressure and each run is agitated and drawn out. Damaged sections, wet insulation and leaking joints are handled while we are already in there.
We walk you through the after photos, restart the system with you there, and pack out. If something needs watching, we say so rather than letting you find it later.
Good work in a home is the kind you cannot tell happened, except that the air changed.
The standard we hold
None of these prove there is a problem on their own. Two or three together usually mean it is worth opening the system.
You wipe a hard surface and it is grey again by the next evening, in a house that is otherwise kept clean.
Musty, damp or stale for the first minute of every cycle, then it fades. That first minute is the ductwork.
One bedroom stays warm while the rest of the house is cool. Often a crushed, disconnected or blocked run.
Fibres, dust build-up or dark streaking on the vent covers and the ceiling around them.
Stuffy in the morning, clearer once you have been out of the house for a few hours.
A burst pipe, a roof leak or a flooded basement anywhere near the ductwork. Moisture and duct insulation are a bad combination.
The dust, the smell, the room that never gets warm, the leak you had in spring. That is enough for us to tell you whether this is a job worth doing.
We work across Charlotte and the surrounding areas. Tell us what you are seeing in the house and we will tell you whether a cleaning is worth doing.
Phone and email are added here once the business line is set up.
