How Our "Source Removal" Process Works

We do not use "blow-and-go" tactics that simply move dust around. Our team utilizes the industry-standard "source removal" method, which is the only cleaning method endorsed by NADCA.

The process begins with a thorough preparation of your home, where we wear protective booties and lay down drop cloths to ensure we leave no mess behind. We then connect a massive, truck-mounted HEPA vacuum system to your main trunk lines. This creates a powerful negative pressure zone throughout your entire duct system, ensuring that any dust we disturb is instantly sucked out of your home and into our containment unit.

Once the vacuum seal is established, we use specialized agitation tools. These include high-pressure air whips and rotating brushes that are fed deep into your ductwork. These tools scrub every square inch of the interior surfaces, dislodging the caked-on dust and construction debris. Finally, we clean the heart of the system—the blower motor, fan, and coils—to ensure your entire HVAC unit is breathing fresh, clean air.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this help reduce the dust on my furniture? Yes. By removing the buildup inside your ducts, we eliminate the primary source that recirculates dust onto your surfaces every time the fan blows. Most clients notice a significant reduction in household dust immediately.
• How long does the service take? For an average-sized home in Columbus, OH, our comprehensive cleaning process typically takes between 2 and 4 hours. We take the time to ensure every vent and main line is thoroughly cleaned.
• Do you use chemicals? Our primary cleaning method is physical agitation and vacuum extraction, which requires no chemicals. If we find biological growth, we can apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent, but only with your express permission.
• Can you clean older ductwork? Yes, our technicians are trained to adjust their pressure and agitation methods to safely clean older, more fragile ductwork often found in historic Columbus, OH homes without causing damage.
• Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee? Absolutely. We stand behind the quality of our work. If you are not completely satisfied with the service, we will return to address any issues.
