Ductwork in the Sacramento Valley collects a specific mix of debris: fine valley dust pulled in through returns, agricultural pollen carried on the Delta breeze, drywall dust left from the original build, and the fine particulate that settles in after each wildfire smoke season. Most local homes run their systems hard from May through October, so whatever is inside the ducts gets cycled through the living space several times a day. In single-story ranch homes the supply trunks usually sit in an unconditioned attic that reaches 140 degrees in July, and the return is often a single undersized central grille doing the work of two. That combination โ heavy load, long runs, one hard-working return โ is why systems here need attention sooner than the manufacturer literature suggests.
If you are not satisfied with the result, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Benefits
The system is placed under continuous vacuum before anything is agitated, so debris leaves the building instead of being redistributed into the rooms.
Each supply run is brushed from its register back to the trunk. Skipping the awkward runs is the most common shortcut in this trade.
You see the inside of your own trunk line at the start and at the end. No claims you cannot verify.
The return carries everything the house sheds. It is cleaned as thoroughly as the supply, including the filter housing and the return drop.
Registers come off, drop cloths go down, and the equipment stages outside. The work area is left cleaner than we found it.
We count registers and returns, confirm the scope, and quote a single number before any equipment comes off the truck.

Process
We count supplies and returns, locate the air handler, check filter size and note access. Scope and price are confirmed before work starts.
A duct camera goes into the trunk so you can see the actual starting condition rather than take our word for it.
The negative-air machine is connected at the trunk and the whole system is placed under suction for the duration of the job.
Rotary brushes and compressed-air whips work each branch so debris is driven toward the vacuum, one line at a time.
The return drop, filter housing and blower compartment are cleaned, since this is where the heaviest loading is usually found.
We re-photograph the same trunk sections, walk you through the comparison, and reinstall every register.

Questions
A typical single-system Sacramento home takes about three to four hours. Two-system homes, or homes with more than about twenty registers, usually run five to six.
No. The system is under vacuum the entire time, so debris travels away from the living space. Registers are removed carefully, drop cloths go down, and the equipment stays outside.
Every three to five years suits most homes here. Sooner if you have shedding pets, have just finished a remodel, bought a home with no service history, or came through a heavy smoke season.
Yes, always. The return side is where the majority of the loading is, and cleaning only the supply is the most common way this job gets done badly.
