Our Process
Dalton Environmental Cleaning strives for "total source removal cleaning" -the NADCA standard which means all supply & return ductwork is accessed to remove light & heavy debris.
Here is how Dalton process works:
-
In preparation, a ten-inch diameter access port is cut into the main supply & return trunk line for our vacuum hook up. This applies vacuum (negative-pressure) to the entire duct system & prevents airborne particles from blowing out the vents.
-
The next step involves high compressed air cleaning of all registers in the house. This is done with specialized air tools that not only clean the vent but is also designed to fit through the louvers to clean behind it.
-
Now it is time for the ductwork! The crew drill 1 inch access ports into the main and branch runs of the duct system so a tool known as an air whip designed specifically for duct cleaning can be inserted. This tool has multiple whips at the tip of it and is powered by approximately 250 lbs of air pressure. This enables the tool to snake its way through the duct and at the same time aggressively beat all sides of the duct loosening all dirt/debris and pushing toward the powerful vacuum. The whips are placed into each and every duct mechanically removing all the debris.
-
Once the crew ensures a completely cleaned system by manual, visual, and or camera inspection, the access ports are sealed. The vacuum access is sealed with a finished galvanized sheet metal plate that is zip screwed in place. The 1 inch ports are sealed with an airtight, flush-fitting cap plug.
-
Our crew will clean the blower housing (the fan area) of your furnace with compressed air.
-
OPTIONAL: As a final step, an antimicrobial treatment to deodorize and inhibit growth of bacteria, mildew, & mold can be fogged into the duct system.
