Air Duct Cleaning Services

Professional Air Duct Cleaning in Alexandria, VA

Your home's air duct system is the respiratory system of your house. Over time, dust, allergens, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants can accumulate in your ductwork, affecting your indoor air quality and your family's health. AirDuctVet provides thorough, professional air duct cleaning services that remove these harmful pollutants and restore clean, fresh air to your home.

Why Air Duct Cleaning Is Essential

Regular air duct cleaning is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment. According to the EPA, indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Your HVAC system circulates air throughout your home multiple times per day, and if your ducts are dirty, it's circulating contaminants along with it.

Our Air Duct Cleaning Process

At AirDuctVet, we follow a comprehensive cleaning process that ensures every part of your duct system is thoroughly cleaned:

1. Initial Inspection

We begin with a detailed inspection of your entire duct system using specialized cameras. This allows us to identify problem areas, assess the level of contamination, and create a customized cleaning plan for your home.

2. System Preparation

We protect your home by covering furniture and flooring in the work area. We also seal off registers and create access points to ensure effective cleaning of all ductwork.

3. Negative Pressure Cleaning

Using powerful vacuum systems, we create negative pressure in your duct system. This prevents contaminants from escaping into your home during the cleaning process and ensures everything is captured and removed.

4. Agitation and Removal

We use specialized brushes, air whips, and compressed air tools to dislodge dirt, dust, and debris from duct surfaces. Our powerful vacuum systems then capture and remove all contaminants.

5. Component Cleaning

We clean all components of your HVAC system, including:

• Supply and return air ducts
• Registers and grilles
• Diffusers
• Heat exchangers
• Cooling coils
• Condensate drain pans
• Fan motor and housing
• Air handling unit

6. Sanitization (Optional)

For an additional layer of protection, we offer EPA-approved sanitization treatments that eliminate bacteria, mold, and odors, leaving your system fresh and clean.

7. Final Inspection

After cleaning, we conduct a final inspection to ensure all work meets our high standards. We'll show you before and after photos and answer any questions you may have.
