Did you know that indoor air quality could be far worse than outdoor air quality? According to the EPA, it could be 2 to 5 times more threatening than the outdoor air quality.
Air flows in and out of air ducts all day. These ducts collect dust and pollutants in them which are damaging to our health and far more threatening for patients with asthma. It might also trigger certain allergies and could be a risk to heart patients.
According to statistics, because of the harmful pollutants in the air, one out of five Americans suffer from allergies. So, it’s clear that dust and pollutants are everywhere in your house and even if you clean the room by yourself, the air ducts in your house require cleaning by some highly trained technicians on a regular basis.
You might be wondering why dust accumulates in air ducts.
Because of tighter living spaces, the air circulation is slowed down a little and hence dust particles get stuck into our ventilation system.
The pets in our houses, the use of perfumes and deodorants, and the dust particles sitting on our floor carpets might lead to the building up of contaminants in the air ducts which are not easily removable and hence require services from a professional.
The process is explained in the following steps:
The first step of cleaning the ducts is pre-inspection, which is an important step for getting ideal results.
The technicians will inspect the ducts, assess the situation, and plan accordingly.
After inspecting, the real cleaning process begins. The technicians produce negative pressure using a large and powerful vacuum system that blows away the dirt. They attach the vacuum’s hose to ducts, close all the supply openings and clean all ducts, one after the other. This process is also called basic cleaning.
After using the negative pressure technique, tools like a rotating brush are used to clear any settled and stubborn dust. The brushes will force the dust to move into the air, so it can be sucked by high pressure.
Once this process is done, the HVAC system is inspected and if there is still some dust left, it is removed by the team.

As we know the air flows in and out of the vents producing moisture on surfaces. Because of the moisture, the mold grows in the air duct. The following image shows growing mold in an air duct which is a common problem in Austin and surrounding areas.
Imagine breathing in the air, flowing from these types of ducts shown in the before image.
The after image shows us that once the service is done, there is no dust and debris left in the duct, and clean air can flow from the ducts.
