dryer vent cleaning

They arrived as scheduled and while vacuuming they encountered a different problem. The duct had become dislodged and two sections of the duct had separated from each other so the vent was discharging directly into the house. Not good with a gas drier venting carbon monoxide directly into the home. Fortunately, no walls had to be taken down to access the separated vent sections. They were accessible through a ceiling panel in a closet. They re-connected the vent sections and duct taped them. This was "over and beyond the call of duty". The price was reasonable considering the extra effort and time they put in at no additional cost. I might have considered the cost a little high had they only vacuumed. Since they went to the extra trouble, I recomment them and would use them again.
Description of Work: The clothes drier was not venting to the outside and we thought it might have been blocked so we hired them to vacuum the drier vent.

Dirty Ducts was great. The encapsulation was done as part of a real estate transaction, and Dirty Ducts really came through, allowing the house to close. I needed the work done early the next morning, and they had an abatement contractor at the property at 5:30am on Good Friday, completing the work in good time and with all the right permits. And it looked good too! The work on the basement floor involved removing the tile with a negative pressure work-space to contain any asbestos fibers released. They were timely, and even used the low-oder tile remover, since I had asked about possible fumes. I am very happy with both jobs.
Description of Work: Dirty Ducts encapsulated a duct with asbestos tape on it. In a separate job they removed asbestos tile in one corner of the basement floor.

They spent an adequate amount of time and did a good job. The same day, coincidentally, my condo association hired another company to clean residents' dryer vents for $75. The Dirty Ducts technician pointed out to me that they're doing what is referred to as "blow and go," where you pay a lot and don't get much for it. They just use a small attachment and take 5 or 6 inches of dirt that's near the vent opening.
Description of Work: I hired Dirty Ducts to clean the ductwork in my condo. They also cleaned the dryer vent and the hood over my stove. My condo is about 10 years old and it had never been done. They spent about 3 hours cleaning and they had a truck-mounted system. They also provided before and after photos of your ducts so that you can see just what's been done.

We decided not to go with them because they charged for an estimate. They explained they had too many developers who flipped houses, but even after explaining we were not flipping the house, they would not provide a free estimate. We went with a company who was more willing to work with us.

Yes, we do charge a $95.00 walk through fee for mold inspections. This $95.00 is reimbursed if you go ahead with the work, or if you find another company that is doing the same scope of work for a cheaper price then us. We do this, because there is no mold regulations in the state of Wisconsin. Our walk through and proposals are extremely detailed. A typical mold quote has 2- 3 pages, pictures, and drawing. The total process takes about 2-3 hours. Some competitors have a two sentence proposal and deem that spraying and wiping the wall with bleach will fix the problem. We do not do that and never will. We charge a walk through fee to verify that someone honestly wants to fix it and fix it right. This is our policy and I am sorry that it does not please all people. Thank you.

It was disgusting to see what had accumulated in my ductwork, but I am very glad I had this done. He started at about12:30 and was finished by just before 4:00 on a 912 square foot house. The $245 was after a $50 Angie's List coupon.
Description of Work: My house was built in 1953 and assume the ducts have never been cleaned. The person who owned the house before me had a hairy dog, I have done remodeling generating a substantial amount of sawdust and I have a rabbit whose fur constitutes the majority of my dust. Needless to say, my ducts were caked with dust. I was provided with before and after photos. Shaun explained the process before he started work. A 10" diameter hose is connected from the truck to the furnace. Two 2" and two 1" access points were drilled in the ductwork from the basement to put air hosed from an air compressor into the ducts. A small bunch of nylon whips, like the chord on a weedwacker, are attached tot he air hose that agitate the dust in the ductwork and is vacuumed out to the truck through the 10" hose. The vacuum did create a negative pressure the house. All the intake and outgoing vent covers in the house were removed and the air compressor hose was threaded through the ductwork from the finished part of the house also. I put filters on the intake vent covers before he reattached them to prevent dust and hair from entering the system. He used a camera to look in to the ductwork to prevent objects from falling into the furnace. He found a tennis ball and toy truck in the ductwork along with a mouse nest in my furnace EEW! He capped the holes he drilled with flat rubber stoppers.

Their service man, Shawn, was very professional and easy to work with. Called ahead of time, and just a great guy. Very thorough job, and made sure the furnace was running again before he left. I used the $50 off Angie's List coupon, that, and the fact that they were listed on NADCA's site, gave me the peace of mind the money was well spent. http://www.nadca.com/why-clean-air-ducts
Description of Work: They attach big suction/vacuum lines to the inlet & outlet of your furnace, then use pressurized air and some manual scrubbers (similar to a drain snake) attached to the end of an air hose that they shove down each vent…everything is sucked out the vacuum hose into their truck.

Everything went fine. The cats were a little freaked out from the noise and the house was a bit cold as the unit really sucked allot of air. Otherwise all was fine. Took about 3 hours My only complaint is that I wish they replaced the furnace filter when done but I suppose it would be difficult to know what typee of filter you have before hand. I'll hire them again in a few years.
Description of Work: They did a complete duct clean. Removed all the grills, furnace filter and sucked out all the dirty air while they went in from the top and loosened all the dirt. Got detailed photos of before and after - big difference. Were happy and all went great.

I had been having allergy symptoms and thought cleaning the air vents my help. After no definite answers searching the internet, I decided it wouldn't hurt. Especially since I've lived here 10 years, replaced a furnace, but never actually had the vents cleaned. Dirty Ducts had great reviews and didn't offer all the "special low-ball deals" you need to look out for in a duct cleaning service. They scheduled me right away, but had one scheduling snafoo. The technician was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly and showed me the entire process. He was very careful in the house and not to get dust in the a/c coils. Everything went great and I'd use them again, but doubt I'll need my vents cleaned again for a very long time.
Description of Work: Dirty Ducts cleaned the dust and debris all forced air supply and return ducts in my house including 7 supply vents to the rooms. They also cleaned the lint from my dryer vent.

April and Amy, who work in the office, are very pleasant to work with and do a wonderful job of scheduling and letting you know what time the workers will arrive. They will call if any changes occur. In the morning, Dirty Ducts' carpenter created two access panels to our HVAC system, so that they could fully clean our ductwork. He was very careful to protect everything around the work area, so that nothing would be harmed or get dusty. The duct cleaner, Shawn, came a few hours later. We've had Dirty Ducts clean our dryer vent (the venting ductwork extends more than 30 feet and has many, many turns -- a very poor design), and were very pleased with their work compared to the other company we used (no longer in the ductwork cleaning business, fortunately). Shawn did a great job - he explained how he was going to proceed, helped me move furniture that was in front of vents, showed before and after photos, and cleaned everything up really well. A very minor concern is that I did not know that the source of the air pressure was from his truck, so a door had to be open (not necessary when they clean the dryer venting ductwork). That meant that any pets needed to be closed into a room so that they wouldn't run outside. If I had known this in advance, I would have taken care of that detail before Shawn arrived. He was very apologetic, and I'm sure that Dirty Ducts usually makes sure that customers know this in advance. Shawn was very careful about our furnace, AprilAire, and whole-house air cleaner. When he was finished, he re-connected everything, and made sure that they all were running well. He also cleaned out some of the mineral deposiits in the drain tube from the AprilAire. He's very nice to deal with and clearly knows his stuff. There was a bit of odor from the equipment when Shawn finished, but that dissipated within a few hours. We can tell that the ductwork is much cleaner - almost no dust! So, yes, I highly recommend Dirty Ducts!
Description of Work: Two access panels were installed, and the ductwork for our entire house (including the dryer vent) was thoroughly cleaned.

They showed up on time. The guy was very friendly and layed down tarps so they did not get dirt on the carpet. It took them about 3 hours. The only problem is that you have to keep your door open and it did get a little cold. They took before and after pictures and gave me copies of those. I was very pleased.

Sean and a "trainee" arrived on time and quickly discovered that in addition to lint build-up, the dryer vent duct above the ceiling had come loose and everything was venting inside the house. They re-connected the vent duct and finished vacuuming the lint. No extra charge for the "repair" using tape. They were pleasant and did a good job.
Description of Work: Our gas dryer was venting to the interior for some reason and we needed them to learn why and to provide a remedy.

It went very well. The technician arrived early, was very pleasant, and there was no mess for us to clean up. He gave us before & after pictures of the dust, etc. in the ducts. The dryer vent was detached and he showed us how to clean it out ourselves.The house was empty because we hadn't moved in yet & we had already removed the register covers, so the job might take longer if they have to maneuver around furniture, remove registers, etc.
Description of Work: Dirty Ducts cleaned the ducts in the 1955 home we just purchased. They ducts had never been cleaned and the furnace filter had not been changed regularly / at all so the ducts were very dirty. He parked the truck (with vacuum unit) in our driveway, brought a large hose in the front door to the furnace in the basement, and vacuumed out the ducts. This requires cutting a hole in the main duct and smaller holes along the ducts running to the rooms in the house. The holes are sealed back up when he is finished. He also cleaned the ducts from the "top down" in each room by going in through the duct opening in each room. We knew this was part of the cleaning and so had already removed the register covers from each room. It took about 2.5 hours for the entire cleaning.

We chose dirty ducts because of the reviews in Angies list. They performed a thorough duct cleaning at the quoted price. We are happy with their performance. I would recommend doing this on a warm day, as they open up your house for several hours. It can get cold if you are at home.

He covered all but one vent (in the kitchen) and put down drop cloths where hoses went to basement. He took off his shoes when on carpeting, even though I told him it wasn't necessary. He answered my questions about the duct work on one side of the house, and showed me that it was closed off to a bedroom that I was concerned about. The truck gave off a little bit of exhaust, so it would be good to do on a day you could open up some windows to ventilate. Overall it was a great experience. A heavy FedEx package was dropped off as he was working, and the delivery man just left it in the garage. The Dirty Ducts serviceman offered to move it into the house for me...That's service!!

Response from Dirty Ducts Cleaning & Environmental
We travel through out the state to look at job sites. Sometimes it is necessary to go to the job site prior to bidding and some time it is not. I do not know why they said they would not come out. The only thing I can think of would be that it was unneccesary and they could give you an exct price over the phone. Most of our duct cleaning prices are based on the square footage of the home/building, and 99% of the time we do not go to the job site prior. If we make a mistake on bidding the project, we do not charge extra. What we bid is the price that you pay. If we went and visited every duct cleaning, the end result would be that everyones project would be more expensive. The cost for time and gas would be added in the end. This has always been our policy. I apologize that you feel this way, but it has worked for our customers since the beginning. It does not mean that we do bad work, it just means that we have enough experience to price the project over the phone. I hope that your experience and job went well with the other provider.
