Indoor Air Professionals
Today I took a day off of work to have someone clean my house...sounds great doesn't it?? We actually got our air ducts cleaned today which I wanted to do last year but didn't have the money to do it.
The crew consisted of two guys. One of them worked in the basement on the main trunk lines and the other cleaned up all the registers. The trunk lines needed to have several holes cut out to get access. Here is a video from their website:
They taped off all of the vents in the house so dirt would not blow out all over the house.
Look at all the junk they got out. The bottom two filters are from the cold air returns. The top one is from the supply lines. The filter that is blue was not used but put down for reference.
After about 4 hours of cleaning they patched up the holds and pulled off all the tape.
It feels good in here already. Not sure if that is all mental but I hope this does good for my wife's allergies also.

However, when they were done, and because I am so anal about cat hair, I sent the web cams down the pipes attached to the laptop with USB extension cables and found lots of junk still down there. I sent them the pics and they came and "redid" it and gave us a discount for the next time. I still think it was kind of bullshit that they did not get it all the first time. Then again it was really like 100 years of animal hair and it was definately an industrial strength job.
Ironically, shortly thereafter we replaced the whole pipe system with a new one when we had the asbestos removed.
