Air Duct Cleaning in Locust Grove, GA

New house, dirty ducts

Here is the one that surprises everybody: a brand-new house with genuinely filthy ductwork. The runs sit open through the entire build, collecting drywall dust, sawdust and insulation fibre for months, with no filter anywhere near them. Then the system gets commissioned and distributes the lot of it through every room, and it keeps doing that for years.

So if you have moved into something recently built in Locust Grove and the dust never quite stops no matter how often you clean, that is very often why. The good news is it is a one-time clean-out and not a condition you are stuck with. It is also a much nicer job than it sounds, because it is fixable in a day.

One more thing that travels with a new house: the system is sometimes run through the last weeks of construction with a filter never intended to catch drywall dust, or with no filter in it at all. Where that has happened it is not only the ducts that collected — the coil and the blower did too, and a clean-out that stops at the vents leaves the worst of it exactly where it is. If yours was commissioned early, it is worth doing the whole path rather than the visible end of it.

The signs people usually call about

• Dust back on the registers days after you wiped them
• Allergies that get worse indoors, not better
• A musty smell for the first minute after it kicks on
• Weak airflow from the rooms furthest from the unit
• Drywall dust everywhere since the renovation
• Pets, and everything that comes with them
