System Inspection
We look at accessible ductwork, returns, system layout and the reason you requested service.
Professional home service
Know what will be cleaned, how the duct system is approached, and which problems require a separate repair.
Professional air duct cleaning should start with the condition and layout of the HVAC system. We inspect accessible ductwork, returns and system access before defining the cleaning scope.
What cleaning actually includes
The cleaning scope should identify which parts of the HVAC duct system are included before work begins. Depending on the system, that can include accessible supply and return ductwork, registers, trunk lines and related components agreed upon during the inspection.
Negative-air equipment creates controlled airflow while agitation tools loosen debris from accessible duct surfaces. The goal is to capture loosened material rather than simply move it farther through the system.
What we look at
The right scope depends on the actual property, not a one-size-fits-all package.
We look at accessible ductwork, returns, system layout and the reason you requested service.
Professional equipment is connected so loosened debris can be captured during cleaning.
Appropriate agitation tools help loosen accumulated debris from accessible duct surfaces.
The agreed scope identifies which supply and return pathways are being cleaned.
Completed work is reviewed and repair or optional-treatment recommendations remain separate.
When accessible, visual documentation can help show the condition before and after service.
Cleaning has limits

Recent work from Pristine
These are real photos from recent air duct cleaning jobs. Use the comparison slider to look at the same accessible section before and after cleaning, with photos from the work happening alongside it.
We photographed the area before cleaning, completed the service, and then took a second photo of the same section for comparison.
This pair shows the same accessible section at the start of the job and again after cleaning was completed.
When the same area is accessible before and after service, we can document the condition and give the homeowner a clear visual reference.
