DUCTZ of the Upper Bay Region
Air Duct, Carpet and Dryer Vent Cleaning
Air Duct, Carpet and Dryer Vent Cleaning
Is there a Difference between duct cleaners?
For starters, there is a ton of difference between NADCA (National Air Duct
Cleaners Association) certified firms, and those who are not. NADCA
certified companies have received training in properly cleaning your air
ducts, and deploy the source removal method under negative air
pressure. A much better method than those who simply blow and go, or
use a brush attached to a shop vac like device (though it does take longer,
and perhaps costs more), it is the right method to clean your ducts if you
want contaminants and allergens really removed from the system.
That said, even among those certified, there are differences:
- Many duct cleaners use compressed air with whips and "skipper balls"
inserted into the duct to push debris toward the negative air source (a very
large vacuum system attached to your main trunk lines).
- DUCTZ of the Upper Bay Region, also uses cable driven brushes to fully
contact all surfaces of the duct. There is a huge benefit to cleaning all the
surfaces, vs just where the whip contacted it. (see photos). It does take
longer, but if the reason you had the ducts cleaned is for allergy and
asthma symptoms, we believe they must be brushed to get the most
benefit.
-DUCTZ uses the source removal brush technique, which utilizes cable
driven brushes while under negative air pressure followed by the
compressed air to move heavier debris towards the source removal vac.
It's much more thorough than compressed air alone.
