Air duct Cleaning in Prospect Heights Done Right the First Time

Musty or stale odor from supply vents

That smell is usually mold growth in ducts, and it means moisture is getting into the system somewhere. In Prospect Heights, the culprit is often a damp basement trunk line. It will not clear up on its own, and it gets worse every humid month.

Visible dust puffs when the furnace starts

Dust and debris buildup on the trunk floor is getting blown into your rooms every time the blower kicks on. A filter catches some of it, but once the layer is thick enough, the airflow lifts it past the filter and into your living space.

Allergy symptoms that worsen indoors

Pet dander accumulation and pollen that settles in the return air keep circulating through the house. If your symptoms are worse inside than outside, the ductwork is a likely source. A HEPA vacuum and a higher-MERV filter usually make a measurable difference.

Dryer takes two cycles to dry a load

A dryer vent lint clog restricts airflow, so the dryer runs hot and long. It is also a fire risk. This is one of the most common calls we get in Prospect Heights, and it is usually a 45-minute fix once we get the hose through the full run.

Uneven airflow between rooms

HVAC airflow restriction from debris or a disconnected joint means some rooms get plenty of air and others get almost none. A duct camera inspection will show you whether the problem is a blockage, a leak, or a damper that is stuck.
