Air Duct and Dryer Vent Cleaning Before and After

Duct and vent cleaning is one of the few services where you can see the difference. Some images on this page are illustrations of the buildup we typically find, and we are adding more photos from our own recent jobs.

Air Duct Cleaning

Supply ducts, return ducts, registers and grilles. Most of what builds up in a duct system sits out of sight in the runs behind the walls, which is why the difference is easier to see in a photo than from the room.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Lint packs into the vent line and collects at bends, where airflow slows. It also builds up behind the exterior hood, where most people never look.

What You Are Looking At

A few things worth knowing when you look through these.

The gray coating on the duct walls is household dust, fabric fibers and skin cells, built up over years. It is normal in any system that has not been cleaned.

Dark rings around registers usually mean air has been pushing material out of that duct for a long time.

Lint in a dryer line is not just a performance problem. It is the leading contributing factor in home clothes dryer fires, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.

Fine white or gray powder usually points to construction or drywall dust, which is common after a remodel.

See Something That Looks Like Your System?

If the photos on this page look familiar, it is worth having yours looked at. Most homeowners have no idea what is in their ducts until someone opens them up.
