Duct cleaning is essential for indoor air quality in homes, offices, businesses and industrial buildings.

Your ducts become coated with particles that are constantly re-circulated in the air you, your family, your employees and your customers breathe every day.

Particles that may be in your ductwork:

1. Dust and microscopic dust mites (which are real trouble for allergy sufferers)
2. Skin cells that humans naturally shed
3. Hair from people and pets
4. Vermin droppings
5. Mold

Mold is very common and extremely serious. It is most often found in insulated or bare metal ductwork. If the underlying cause of the mold is not corrected, it will grow back. Mold causes respiratory problems, especially in children, the elderly, and anyone already sick.

Improve energy efficiency: Cleaning heating and cooling systems improves energy efficiency, which results in longer operating life for your system. You will also see repair costs drop and benefit from utility cost savings.

The dust and microscopic contaminants that collect in your ducts have also attached to the working and moving parts of your system. The EPA strongly advises full system sanitation. The most complete duct cleaning service includes:

Commercial building owners and managers have a growing concern about indoor air pollution or sick building syndrome. You are advised to have duct cleaning and scouring of ALL COMPONENTS of your heating and cooling system, because contamination is released into work and retail spaces. Some of these contaminants cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to them.

• We know your primary concern is the health of your workers, clients, customers and visitors. Yet there are legal issues surrounding indoor air quality. Lawsuits involving molds, allergens and indoor air pollution have been filed and won, resulting in significant civil damages. Courts recognize that commercial duct cleaning is an effective and reasonable safeguard that can alleviate claims because you have demonstrated an on-going effort to protect your employees, customers and visitors.

Top three reasons industry should also have ductwork scoured, according to the EPA:

1. Increases healthful air flow
2. Curtails fire hazards
3. Reduces the risk of duct collapse

Manufacturing discharges dust, mist, fumes and smoke. Residues such as sawdust, oil, chemicals, ink, lint, plastic particles – virtually any particulate that is discharged in the manufacturing process- builds up on the interior of ducts. It’s a fire hazard because flammable matter such as lint, oil or wood dust may be ignited by a nearby heat or spark. The excessive residue becomes so bad that the sheer weight of it can cause ductwork to collapse or fall down.
