From one of our jobs
A grey coat inside the duct, all the way down
Right now: Take one register cover off and look in with a flashlight. Dust you can wipe with a finger means the ducts are due.
Flex duct is the round, ribbed duct you see in attics and basements. The ribs catch dust, and over the years it builds into a coat like this one. You can’t see it from a register, which is why we show you camera photos of your ducts before you decide anything.
Our whole home duct cleaning covers every supply and every return line in the house, register covers off, washed and put back.
Quick answers
What people ask about dirty air ducts
What is the grey dust inside my air ducts?
Household dust, lint, pet hair and skin that got past the filter and settled on the duct walls. Flex duct’s ribs catch more of it.
How do I know if my air ducts need cleaning?
Dust that comes back days after you clean, dust blowing out of registers when the system starts, or a home with pets, renovation or ten or more years since the last cleaning.
Is dirty ductwork bad for you?
It’s dust your system moves through the house every cycle. People with allergies usually notice the difference most after a cleaning.
