The NADCA Source-Removal Method — Done Right
Air duct cleaning isn't just "vacuuming the vents." The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) sets the industry standard, and we follow it on every job. Our 6-step process is designed to physically remove contaminants from your entire system — not just blow them around — while keeping your home clean and your family safe.
Step
1
Free Inspection & Assessment
Our technician inspects your duct system, air handler, and registers — then shows you what's actually inside. We document findings with photos and give you an honest written quote before any work begins. No inspection, no cleaning: if your ducts don't need it, we tell you.
- Full visual inspection of all accessible duct runs
- Air handler, blower & coil checked
- Photos of contamination shared with you
- Written flat-rate quote — no obligation
Step
2
Negative Pressure Setup
We connect our truck-mounted HEPA vacuum to your duct system to create negative pressure. This means when we agitate debris inside the ducts, it travels outward to our truck — not into your living space. Drop cloths and shoe covers protect your home.
- Truck-mounted HEPA vacuum connected to main trunk
- Negative pressure contains all debris
- Drop cloths & shoe covers throughout
- Your home stays clean during the process
Step
3
Agitation & Source Removal
Working one run at a time, we use rotary brushes, compressed air, and skipper balls to dislodge dust, debris, and contaminants from every supply and return duct. The HEPA vacuum captures everything at the source — this is the core of the NADCA source-removal method.
- Every supply and return run cleaned individually
- Rotary brushes & compressed air agitation
- Main trunk line & plenum cleaned
- NADCA source-removal standard
Step
4
Component Cleaning & Sanitizing
We clean the air handler cabinet, blower housing, and evaporator coil (if accessible). Optional EPA-registered sanitizing is applied only when there's a genuine microbial concern — mold, pet odors, post-construction, or illness in the home. You choose; we never apply chemicals you didn't approve.
- Air handler, blower & coil cleaned
- EPA-registered, pet-safe sanitizing (optional)
- Fragrance-free & eco options available
- Applied only when medically warranted
Step
5
System Reassembly & Seal Check
All access points are properly sealed, registers reinstalled, and the system reassembled to manufacturer specs. We check for obvious duct leaks and flag any that could re-contaminate your system or waste energy — with written recommendations, never high-pressure upsells.
- All access points sealed properly
- Registers reinstalled & aligned
- Duct leaks documented for your review
- No pressure to buy additional services
Step

Final Walkthrough with You
We walk you through the results, show before/after photos, answer every question, and provide a service report. You see exactly what was done before we pack up. Your satisfaction is the last step — not the payment.
- Before & after photos reviewed with you
- Written service report provided
- All questions answered on the spot
- You approve the results before we leave
Why a Professional Process Matters
Our technicians are trained professionals who follow a documented source-removal method — physically removing contaminants rather than just redistributing them. We use commercial-grade truck-mounted HEPA equipment and a written, step-by-step process on every job. That's the difference between a real cleaning and a quick vacuum job.
