The Step-by-Step Professional Cleaning Process


A real, high-quality air duct cleaning is a 2-4 hour process. Here is what to expect:

  • Home & System Prep: We lay down drop cloths, wear protective booties, and seal off your supply and return vents to protect your home and create a vacuum seal.
  • Creating Negative Pressure: We connect our powerful, truck-mounted or portable HEPA vacuum system to your main trunk lines. This creates an immense negative pressure, ensuring all dislodged debris is sucked out of your home.
  • Agitation (The "Scrubbing"): This is the most important step. We use specialized, high-powered tools—like rotating brushes and compressed air "whips"—that are fed deep into your ductwork to scrub and dislodge the caked-on dust, pollen, and debris.
  • Cleaning the HVAC Components: A "duct cleaning" must also include the HVAC system. We clean the blower motor, fan, and accessible coils, as these get just as dirty.
  • Final Cleanup & Sealing: We professionally remove our equipment, unseal your vents, and clean up our work area. The access ports we created are sealed air-tight.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • How long does this take? A real air duct cleaning for an average Atlanta, GA home takes 2-4 hours. If a company claims they'll be done in 45 minutes, it's a scam.
  • Will it make a mess? No. We guarantee a "no-mess" service. The negative pressure ensures all dust goes into our vacuum, not your home.
  • What is a "bait and switch" scam? It's a "$99 special" where a company shows up, uses a shop-vac, and then charges you extra for the main lines, the "scrubbing," or a "sanitizer." Our price is all-inclusive.
