If your ducting contains fiberglass insulation and is left unused for extended lengths of time, mold and mildew may be present, which requires replacement of the fiberglass lining due to related health issues. If not a significant amount is found, we can try fogging with antifungal agents and check the results.

Duct sealing provides a solution for sections where cleaning may not be possible. Sealing involves the removal of vent registers and air intakes, along with any filters that exist. The technician then vacuums the dust and soot from all reachable surfaces such as the inlet plenum and each outlet.
