Our Steps for a Cleaner Ventilation System

We follow the standards set forth by the Canadian National Air Duct Cleaning Association to ensure your ventilation system is cleaned thoroughly and professionally.

*Process may vary slightly from home to home depending on the system layout and setup.*

Step 1 – Arrival & Professional Equipment

Our technicians arrive in custom vacuum trucks equipped with powerful truck-mounted vacuums and compressors. This professional-grade equipment provides more than enough suction to clean homes of all sizes.

  • Truck-mounted vacuums & compressors
  • 6–8″ diameter vacuum hoses for maximum airflow
  • All equipment cleaned & disinfected between jobs

Why size matters: Larger hoses allow proper airflow and debris removal. Smaller 2″ hoses can clog and are unable to thoroughly clean an entire duct system.

Step 2 – Experienced & Guaranteed Technicians

Our technicians have years of hands-on experience cleaning all types of duct systems and components. We proudly stand behind our workmanship with a 90-day warranty.

If you notice an area that was missed or are not completely satisfied, we will gladly return and rectify the issue.

Step 3 – Pre-Cleaning Walkthrough

Uniformed technicians greet you and complete a walkthrough of your home as part of the pre-cleaning assessment. This allows us to:

  • Answer any questions you may have
  • Address specific concerns or airflow issues
  • Understand your system and cleaning needs

Step 4 – Respect for Your Home

Our technicians remove their shoes or wear protective boot covers while working in your home. For safety reasons, footwear must remain on in the furnace room.

We take every precaution to protect surrounding areas and will clean up any mess if necessary.

Step 5 – Floor & Corner Protection

Protective drop cloths and corner guards are placed under all vacuum hoses as they are laid out from the truck to your duct system. This prevents scuffs or scratches to floors and furnishings.

A door or window will need to remain open to allow access for the vacuum hoses.

Step 6 – Proper Access Creation

Proper access openings are required to connect vacuum equipment and insert cleaning tools into the main supply and return ductwork.

If a previous cleaning was done, existing access panels may be reused depending on size and location. All access openings are professionally sealed at the end of the job using semi-permanent sheet metal covers.

Important Note:

We clean all types of homes, including finished basements, drop ceilings, and unfinished basements. Some systems may require additional effort to ensure a complete and proper cleaning.

Unfinished Basement Notice:
Dust and debris may be present on top of exposed ductwork. During the agitation process, some debris may fall. We use additional vacuums to control airborne dust and clean the area immediately after each section is completed.

Step 7 – Deep Duct Cleaning Process

The duct system is cleaned using a combination of hand vacuuming and high-powered compressed air tools. Every accessible section of supply and return ductwork is thoroughly cleaned.

  • Hand vacuuming vents for large debris
  • Compressed air whips through ductwork
  • Air flushing through each vent and register
  • Dampers checked and left open for proper airflow

Some vents may be painted or caulked in place and cannot be removed without damage. In these cases, an air wash cleaning will be performed.

Step 8 – Visual Inspection

Once cleaning is complete, a visual inspection is performed to ensure all areas have been addressed. Residential inspections are completed using smartphones and Wi-Fi inspection cameras.

Please note that ductwork may not appear shiny or new — the goal is removal of contaminants, not cosmetic polishing.

Step 9 – Sealing & System Restoration

Only after you are fully satisfied will the technician seal all access openings and return the system to normal operation.

Step 10 – Cleanup & Service Reminder

All equipment is packed up, the work area is cleaned, and a service reminder sticker is placed on the furnace.

Recommended cleaning frequency: Every 3–5 years for most residential systems.

Step 11 – Final System Check

The HVAC system is turned on and checked to ensure proper operation and airflow.
