Our filter was loading up in a matter of weeks. They explained the granite dust issue, cleaned the coil and blower, and gave me a filter interval that actually matches what is happening here.

Air Duct Cleaning for Folsom homes
Folsom presents two extremes with very little in between. The Historic District holds genuinely old buildings, some dating to the nineteenth century, where forced air was added long after the fact and the routing had to follow whatever cavity was available rather than any sensible design. Those systems are frequently a patchwork of eras. Then there is everything east and south of it โ Broadstone, Empire Ranch, American River Canyon and the newer Folsom Ranch โ where large two-story homes from the nineties onward have extensive attic duct systems serving a lot of square footage. Folsom also sits on granite, and the fine granitic dust that comes off the trails, the lakeshore and the surrounding decomposed rock is abrasive, persistent, and unmistakable inside a return. Summer temperatures here consistently run above the valley floor.
Historic District systems tend to be retrofitted through awkward cavities with mixed materials from several decades, so they need assessing rather than assuming. The larger Broadstone and Empire Ranch homes have long attic runs serving substantial square footage, and the local granitic dust loads returns noticeably faster than elsewhere in the region.

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

Questions
FAQs
Can you work on a home in the Historic District?
Yes. Those systems were retrofitted into buildings never designed for them, so we assess and photograph the routing before quoting rather than pricing off the register count alone.
Why does our filter load up so quickly?
Folsom's granitic dust is fine and abrasive, and it is very good at finding its way to a return. Homes near the trails and the lake commonly need a shorter filter interval than the packaging suggests, and we will tell you what we are actually seeing in your return.
How long does a full duct cleaning take?
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.
Will you make a mess in the house?
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.
