Our process, step by step

1. Step 1

   Site assessment

   A free walkthrough maps the air handlers, trunk lines, branch runs and access points, and we inspect representative sections with a camera to confirm conditions.

2. Step 2

   Written scope and schedule

   You receive a written scope that names the systems to be cleaned and the hours we will work — nights, weekends or phased by floor.

3. Step 3

   Containment and negative air

   Work areas are protected with plastic sheeting and floor covering, and a HEPA negative air machine is connected to the duct system to capture everything we dislodge.

4. Step 4

   Agitation and source removal

   Rotary brushes, air whips and skipper balls travel through each run while the negative air pulls debris to the collection unit. Registers and diffusers are removed and washed.

5. Step 5

   Access panels and sealing

   Service openings are closed with properly sealed access doors so the system stays airtight and future inspections are easier.

6. Step 6

   Verification and report

   We photograph cleaned sections, restore the area and deliver a report with before and after images for your records.

Standards we follow

• IICRC

  Our technicians are IICRC-certified and follow source-removal cleaning practices on every commercial job.

• ASHRAE 62.1

  Ventilation for acceptable indoor air quality — the reference most facility managers use for commercial IAQ.

• OSHA

  Ladder, lift, confined space and respiratory protection controls for every technician on site.

• EPA

  Only EPA-registered products are used if an anti-microbial treatment is approved after cleaning.

How often it should be done

Most commercial buildings benefit from duct cleaning every 2–5 years. Schools, healthcare spaces, restaurants and dusty industrial sites often need annual service, and any building should be cleaned after construction, water damage or a mold event. A camera inspection during the free assessment tells you whether cleaning is needed now or can wait.

Documentation you receive

• Date-stamped before and after photos of every system section we open
• Written service report listing units, runs and components cleaned
• Notes on damaged, missing or inaccessible components found on site
• Certificate of service for insurance, fire marshal and audit files

Frequently asked questions

How long does commercial air duct cleaning take?

A typical office suite takes one night. Larger buildings are phased floor by floor or zone by zone over several nights so occupied areas are never disrupted.

Can you clean while our building is open?

Yes. We usually work after hours. When daytime work is needed, crews work behind containment with HEPA negative air, one area at a time.

Will duct cleaning make a mess in our offices?

No. Floors and furniture are covered, and the system is under negative pressure, so dislodged debris is pulled into the collection unit instead of the room.

Do you clean the air handler as well as the ducts?

Yes. Blowers, coils, drain pans and plenums can be cleaned in the same visit so clean ducts are not recontaminated by a dirty unit.

How do we know the ducts were actually cleaned?

Every job includes before and after photos of each opened section plus a written report you can keep for compliance and insurance.
