Step 2: Start With the Right Equipment
Cleaning a complex air duct system isn’t a job for a carpet cleaning machine with a hose attached or a tiny vacuum box that exhausts inside your home.
Our trucks create the negative airflow needed to remove even the worst contaminants and pull them outside where they belong.
Step 3: Protecting Your Home
A complete and in-depth cleaning requires us to go into every room that contains an air duct or cold-air return.
At Advanced Duct Cleaning LLC, the work won’t begin until the floors, doorways, and outside wall corners are protected.
Slip-on shoe covers, safety mats, and plastic corner guards create a barrier between our equipment and your home.
Step 4: Super-Vac
Access to the bonnet and main truck lines allow us to cover and protect the A-Coil, connect the 8” vacuum hose and create the massive negative air flow needed to remove the dirt, dust, and contaminants that are hiding in the system.
Step 5: Maximize the Vacuum
Once the 8” hose is connected to the system, the huge vacuum fan on the truck begins pulling air from the living spaces down through the duct work.
By covering the registers, a negative pressure is created within the system so dirt can’t puff back into the living spaces.
Step 6: Scrubbing the System
Pulling large volumes of air toward the truck, we now feed our soft rubber, high-pressure scrubbing tools down each of the supply lines.
This removes every trace of dirt, dust, pollen, chemical residue, and pet dander that has collected over the years.
Step 7: Cold Air Return System
After all of the duct work on the supply side is completed, we move to the cold-air return system runs.
The main return grill is removed and cleaned followed by the covers and lines throughout the structure.
Step 8: Trunk Lines and Plenums
We now access the inside of the trunk lines (supply) and plenums (return air) and clean each one with specialized scrubbing tools.
Small 1” holes allow access to every area as the dirt is pulled toward the attached vacuum hose.
Step 9: Furnace Interior
This optional service consists of cleaning the blower fan, insulation, electric motor, and cabinet interior.
The filter is air-swept and vacuumed before being reinserted or exchanged with an owner-supplied replacement.
Step 10: Wrapping It Up
New galvanized access panels are installed over the openings created for the vacuum hose and sealed with aluminum tape.
Air dampers are put back in their original position, plastic plugs are inserted in the 1” access holes and all debris is removed.
