Our technicians follow a thorough process to ensure your ductwork receives proper sanitizing treatment. First, we inspect the entire duct system to identify problem areas, moisture issues, and contamination levels. This assessment determines the appropriate sanitizing approach for your specific situation.
Next, we apply EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions directly into the ductwork using specialized equipment that reaches all interior surfaces. These products eliminate bacteria, mold spores, and other biological contaminants without leaving harmful residues. For homes with significant mold growth, we address the underlying moisture problem first to prevent recurrence.
After application, we allow the treatment to work through the system as air circulates, ensuring complete coverage of all duct surfaces. Our team then performs a final inspection to confirm proper treatment and provide recommendations for maintaining cleaner air going forward.
Many homeowners pair sanitizing with our air duct inspection service to understand exactly what conditions exist in their ductwork before treatment begins.
Is air duct sanitizing safe for my family?
Yes, when performed by licensed professionals using EPA-registered products. The antimicrobial solutions we apply are approved for residential use and eliminate contaminants without releasing harmful fumes into your living spaces.
How often should I have my ducts sanitized?
Most homes benefit from sanitizing every 3-5 years, or sooner if you notice mold growth, water damage, or persistent odors. Homes with allergy sufferers, pets, or smoking history may need more frequent treatment.
What’s the difference between duct cleaning and duct sanitizing?
Duct cleaning removes dust, debris, and loose contaminants from duct surfaces. Sanitizing goes further by applying antimicrobial treatment that kills bacteria, mold, and other biological contaminants that cleaning alone cannot eliminate.
Will sanitizing remove existing mold in my ducts?
Professional sanitizing eliminates mold spores and prevents regrowth, but addressing any moisture source feeding the mold is essential for lasting results. Your technician will identify and recommend solutions for underlying dampness issues.
