What to Expect From an Air Duct Cleaning Service Provider

If you choose to have your ducts cleaned by Paragon Home Services, we will:

√ Open access ports or doors to allow the entire system to be cleaned and inspected.

√ Inspect the system before cleaning to be sure that there are no asbestos-containing materials (e.g., insulation, register boots, etc.) in the heating and cooling system.
Asbestos-containing materials require specialized procedures and should not be disturbed or removed except by specially trained and equipped contractors.

√ Use vacuum equipment that exhausts particles outside of the home or use only high-efficiency particle air (HEPA) vacuuming equipment if the vacuum exhausts inside the home.

√ Protect carpet and household furnishings during cleaning.

√ Use well-controlled brushing of duct surfaces in conjunction with contact vacuum cleaning to dislodge dust and other particles.

√ Use only soft-bristled brushes for fiberglass duct board and sheet metal ducts internally lined with fiberglass. (Although flex duct can also be cleaned using soft-bristled brushes, it can be more economical to simply replace accessible flex duct.)

√ Take care to protect the duct work, including sealing and re-insulating any access holes the service provider may have made or used so they are airtight.
