It’s important to know that there are not a lot of different ways air ducts can be cleaned. The following steps should be followed to obtain a proper air duct cleaning: First we come out with a large truck-mount unit, bring in an 8-inch hose and attach it to the two main trunk lines that run off your furnace. This is done by cutting 8-inch access holes into the trunks. When the cleaning is complete, we patch it with a 10×10 piece of sheet metal and sheet metal screws. Ventcorp also takes an additional step to caulk each patch. Our duct cleaning process includes the extras, even in the places you don’t see. We then start up the engines (outside) and create a negative air pressure, or a suction, throughout the entire house so all the vents are sucking air for the duration of the clean; this is a very important step that prevents dirt from entering your home, extracting it directly to our trucks. We then take a long viper rod, attached to an air compressor on the truck, and send it down each vent, blasting the dirt off the walls of the ducts (with special attachments), sending it in the direction of the suction.

We have tools that can clean painted on registers from above and below without removing the vent cover depending on their location and access. After all the ducts have been cleaned, we go back to the main trunk line and clean each one separately, pushing all the debris directly from your system into our trucks. We finish by cleaning the blower motor, plenum, A coils and return riser. The only area we don’t go into is the heat exchanger (where the flames are). We clean the entire air conveyance system with our duct cleaning process!
