Things to expect for air duct cleaning in Okeechobee

Vent, Fireplaces, Metal, Ventilation Ducts
Air duct cleaning in Okeechobee is handled only by experts. I believe we are a set of people who understand that DIYing isn’t always the coolest & cheapest thing to do. 

Anyways, I am writing this post to inform you what you can expect if you hire a service pro for air duct cleaning Okeechobee. I was in for a huge shock when I had to hire one for myself and had no idea about what to expect. To save you from such shocking situations, I decided to write this. 

1.    The first thing the service provider will do is to inspect the ducts for its current condition. He’ll open the ports or doors to do so. 

2.    Another reason why the service providers like to do this initial assessment is to check for asbestos-containing parts in the ducts. These parts require special equipment and procedures.  

3.    Most of the service pros that offer air duct cleaning Okeechobee use a truck mount vacuum cleaner that has an exhaust outside your home. If the pipes are placed in such a way that a truck-mount cleaner wouldn’t reach it, then there are HEPA vacuums that they use. 

4.    Good service providers also care great care of your carpet and other household furnishings. It’s in everyone’s best interest to not damage household items in the cleaning process. 

5.    Often, a chemical substance is used by the service pros for air duct cleaning in Okeechobee. Such a chemical dislodges the dust & debris that stick to the duct walls. Most of the times, they start vacuuming only after applying these chemicals. 

6.    After the process is complete, your service provider may also suggest that you use a microbiological treatment or a sealant. Both of these substances are used for mold control but aren’t necessary in all cases. If your service provider does suggest this to you, ask him to explain you all pros and cons (if he says, there are no cons, you should say goodbye to this service pro immediately). 

7.    A good service provider will also ensure that he changes the equipment according to the duct lining. For example, fiberglass dust boards must only be cleaned with a soft-bristled brush. He will mostly inform you about such things, as these additions cost a bit extra.  

8.    Quality service professionals always follow NADCA and NAIMA standards. These are two agencies that set standards for air duct cleaning in Okeechobee, in fact all around the United States. How would you know if your service pro follows these best practices? Look for his sales material – posters, ads, flyers, website and you’ll find a mention if he does. 

There you go! These are the eight things to expect from a service pro offering air duct cleaning in Okeechobee. 

My favorite service pro in the area is Dryoutpro just in case you need a reference.
