FAQs
What is real-time video inspection, and why is it important for duct cleaning?
Real-time video inspection involves inserting a miniature, high-resolution camera into your ductwork so our technicians can view live footage of the entire system. This visual confirmation helps us pinpoint dust buildup, microbial growth, pest intrusion, or physical damage that can’t be detected with standard cleaning alone. By seeing the exact condition of the ducts, we can deliver a more targeted clean, verify results instantly, and document before-and-after footage for your peace of mind.
How does your video inspection and duct-cleaning process work for Lynchburg homes?
1) We start with a quick HVAC assessment and remove a small access panel. 2) A camera with LED lighting is fed through each main trunk and branch line, transmitting live video to a monitor you can watch. 3) Our technician notes problem areas and explains the findings. 4) We use negative-air machines and rotating brush tools to dislodge and vacuum contaminants while monitoring progress on the screen. 5) A final post-clean video pass verifies cleanliness, and we reseal access points with code-approved panels. Most appointments take 2–4 hours for an average 2,000-sq-ft Lynchburg home.
What issues can be detected during a real-time video duct inspection?
• Heavy dust, lint, and construction debris • Mold or mildew colonies, often due to high humidity or leaks • Pet hair and dander accumulations • Rodent or insect nests and droppings • Tears, gaps, or disconnected joints reducing HVAC efficiency • Water damage, rust, or insulation breakdown Identifying these problems early prevents air-quality issues, reduces energy waste, and extends HVAC equipment life.
How often should I schedule a video inspection and duct cleaning in Lynchburg?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends an inspection every 2–3 years for most homes. However, you may need annual checks if you have pets that shed, household members with allergies, recent renovations, or notice musty odors or visible dust around vents. Our technicians can create a custom schedule based on the age of your HVAC system, local pollen levels, and Lynchburg’s humid climate.
Will the inspection or cleaning disrupt my daily routine or damage my ducts?
No. Our equipment is designed for minimal intrusion. The camera and brush systems are flexible and safe for metal, fiberglass, and flex ducts. We lay protective coverings over floors and furniture, vent covers are replaced neatly, and access panels are sealed airtight. You can remain in the home during the service—only brief HVAC downtime occurs while we isolate zones for cleaning.
Do you comply with local Lynchburg codes and industry standards?
Absolutely. We follow NADCA ACR 2021 cleaning standards, use EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments when requested, and install UL-181-rated access panels. Our team is licensed in Virginia, carries full liability insurance, and obtains any required city permits for commercial properties. All video files and service reports are archived in case you need documentation for home sales or warranty claims.
