Businesses, apartments, community centers, offices

Commercial air duct cleaning covers everything from office buildings to apartment complexes and everything in between - essentially anything that isn't a single-family residence. Commercial settings that we are experienced and equipped to clean include the following:

• Office buildings
• Community centers
• Retail spaces
• Clinics, salons & spas
• Apartment complexes
• Assisted living facilities​

How we do it

During the estimate phase of a project, our project manager walks the layout of the facility, examines blueprints if available, and consults with building maintenance or management to determine the project scope. His prepared estimate will include the services to be performed and their cost, expected duration of the project, and methods to be utilized. 

The tools and methods utilized will be those most appropriate for ensuring optimal results. These include the following:

• Crawl-through, where the tech dons personal protective equipment and physically crawls through the ducts with a vacuum hose and brush-heads
• Tentacled air whips, which, powered by an industrial air compressor, thrash furiously yet nimbly inside the duct to dislodge the most stubborn of debris
• High-pressure air triggers, whose focused and sustained blast of air from close proximity removes debris from non-removable system components, such as fan blades 
• High-pressure water jets, whose high-powered stream cleanses caked-on debris from smaller, removable system components such as  supply diffusers and return grilles
• Industrial vacuums, whose extreme suction power and negative pressure aid in pulling debris away from the site and into a secure containment system for safe removal

Interior insulated ducts pose a unique challenge because of their porous surface. Results achieved with the crawl-through method. An antimicrobial coating can be applied afterward to inhibit odors and the growth of mold, and to provide a smooth surface.

Hands-on duct cleaning

When feasible, the most effective method of cleaning commercial air ducts, hands-down, is crawl-through. If duct size allows, the technician, appropriately protected, enters the duct through a 16-inch access hole, carrying with him an appropriate length of vacuum hose and several brush-head attachments. He moves methodically through the ductwork, manually dislodging debris and immediately vacuuming it up, sending it to the containment system below.​

Free estimate + consult

Schedule a site visit by our commercial project manager for a estimate + consult with your organization's maintenance supervisor or management. He'll view the property, scan the blueprints (if available), and determine the project scope. The completed estimate will include the number of units to be cleaned, the cost for each, and the method to be utilized.
