Start with a FREE indoor air quality assessment and 27-point HVAC inspection. We identify the duct material era (galvanized with liner, transite, or original sheet metal), document sub-slab return limitations, and check coil and blower condition. From there you have a clear roadmap for what’s worth cleaning versus replacing.

Sub-slab returns were cast into the concrete slab foundation during 1960s-70s construction, common in older Progress Village ranches. NADCA-standard cleaning requires brush access to internal duct surfaces, and there’s no way to reach inside concrete-encased returns. We clean everything accessible thoroughly and document the limitation in writing.

Yes. The US 41 and Causeway Boulevard corridor carries diesel soot, cement particulate, and metal-machining dust that infiltrates homes through return-side leaks. We measure 3 to 5 times the particulate load in Progress Village trunks compared to suburban-only zones. MERV 11 or 13 filter upgrades help capture ongoing infiltration.

Depends on how badly the liner has shed. Agitation during cleaning on actively-shedding internal fiberglass liner releases more fibers into your airstream, which is worse than not cleaning. We borescope to assess severity; if liner is badly deteriorated, we recommend section replacement rather than cleaning. Honest scope.
