Air Duct Cleaning (offered in Kansas only)

Self Contained Truck
To clean air duct systems, we use a self contained truck loaded with specialized equipment.

Our huge truck mounted unit is FAR advanced and superior to portable, electric or roll-in units. It includes:

• Rectangular and round manual and power brushes
• Power tools
• Pressure washer
• Zone bags
• 65 hp Hi Range Vac plus trailer that holds up to 400 feet of 10 inch vacuum hose.

Power-Vac
The 1700 lb, 65 hp dirt and dust collecting "monster" is the top of the line model, boasting the highest static pressure rating of any vacuum designed for duct cleaning.

This machine has enough high velocity vacuum power to actually REMOVE dirt and debris from within the ventilation ducts, depositing it into 43 filter bags and/or collection chamber.

• The exclusive fan impeller allows the right balance of air volume flow rate and static pressure drop across the filter area - permitting only clean, dust-free air to be discharged.
• More vacuum energy is available, as much as 4 times the conveying distance of conventional vacuums.
• Note: Our Power-Vac is identical to this, except ours is red.

Brush System & "Duct Ball and Snake"

The Mini-Cobra power brush system
The Mini-Cobra is a mechanical device that turns up to 750 revolutions/minute and is the top of the line tool for boot and branch cleaning.

Sensitive Areas are Covered
Before we begin the cleaning process, we make sure all sensitive areas are protected.

In this home, the front entry way and staircase to the basement are carpeted, so tarps are placed over these areas for protection.

Unload vacuum hose
Technicians unload 10 inch vacuum hose to begin the cleaning process.

• Sections of hose are carried into the home and connected to the duct work.
• The 10 inch vacuum hose is connected to the trunk inside of the home is then linked and connected to the powerful truck mounted vacuum system.

1. Access holes are cut into the ductwork.
   
2. The holes are then scrubbed with specially designed brushes to dislodge contaminants.
   
3. After the power brushing is completed, manual trunk scrubbing is performed to be sure contaminants are dislodged.
   
4. After aggressive manual agitation, the 10 inch vacuum hose is attached.
   
5. Smaller 1 inch holes are made at various places to allow for high pressure air sweeping with a duct ball and snake. The knife cutting air pressure dislodges the contaminants.
   
6. Contaminants are then sent through the vacuum hose and safely deposited into the 43 filter bags and/or collection chamber.
   

1. A fresh air return grill is removed; this allows access to the wall cavity and pan area for high pressure air sweeping.
   
2. Cover plates are placed over other return air openings and floor vents to maintain maximum air velocity and vacuum power.
   
3. Our Mini-Cobra power brush is a mechanical device that turns up to 750 revolutions/minute.
   
4. Not all areas can be accessed with the Mini-Cobra power brush. In these situations, we use flex rods and manual brush heads.
   
5. To ensure the proper cleaning of cracks and crevices at the joint areas, we follow up with the high pressure air duct ball and snake.
   
6. After a cleaning agent has been applied, the register vent and grill covers are pressure washed, rinsed, dried and returned to their proper location.
   

1. Furnaces are cleaned with brushes, a high pressure air gun, and vacuums. They are then treated with degreaser, wiped clean and dried with towels.
   
2. Specially designed snap plugs are placed in the small 1" access holes to seal them after cleaning.
   
3. 12" cover plates are placed over larger openings and then taped and fastened with zip screws to ensure air is unable to escape.
   
4. The standard filter is replaced at no charge.
   
5. Large amounts of dust, dirt and debris have collected at the bottom of the collection chamber.
   
6. Technicians scoop out the chamber after cleaning a heavily contaminated system. Most cleanings are not this excessively dirty.
