SERVPRO offers Professional Dryer Vent and Duct Cleaning Services

Rocky Hill residents take advantage of the training, experience, and equipment SERVPRO brings when dryer vents and HVAC systems are clogged

Keeping some house issues "out of sight, out of mind" can lower a homeowner's stress level in Rocky Hill. That is, of course, until dirty ductwork signals in some way that inspection and cleaning need to move up the home maintenance agenda. In today's homes, forced air systems are standard, requiring occasional assessment and interventions.

How Do Homeowners Know It Is Time to Delve Deeply into the Ductwork?

Every home's HVAC system has its twists and turns, but Rocky Hill residents who notice concerning hints of ductwork malfunctions or clogs can always ask the experts at SERVPRO of Rocky Hill / Sequoyah Hills / South Knoxville for individualized professional assessment and advice. Have confidence that our managers and technicians do not overreach, but look for evidence that your heating, cooling, and air ventilation system is not operating appropriately. Here are some signs a homeowner could notice before calling SERVPRO:

• Vent, grilles, and registers are dirty on the outside, with a dark-colored buildup that sometimes soils nearby walls or ceilings

• A strong, musty, or otherwise odd smell 

• Family members complaining of breathing issues or eye irritation unrelated to illness

• Debris stuck in intake or outgo slats, perhaps restricting airflow

• Persistent noises like rattling or clicking 

• Broken, missing, or loose vent covers

• Evidence of rodent or insect infestation
• Loss or diminution of expected heating or cooling effects

What Can Rocky Hill Homeowners Expect from SERVPRO Duct Cleaning?

The video shows how our technicians use HEPA filter-equipped vacuums to carefully suction dust and dirt from a ceiling vent or register. Using negative air pressure assures that we capture and contain the offending dust and debris, preventing it from spreading elsewhere in the room or other spaces in the house. Our specialized equipment does the job within the ductwork itself -- we rarely need to open up the HVAC system. Instead, we rely on innovative tools like brushes and whips snaked inside the dusty, dirty confines of the ducts, using agitation and controlled abrasion to loosen and remove the material interfering with the optimum system operation. Technicians judge the efficiency of the cleaning tools with remote-controlled cameras that illuminate and document the interior ductwork condition.

Should Rocky Hills Properties Have Regular Dryer Vent Cleaning?

The lint that collects in the duct and vent connected to a clothes dryer reduces the machine's efficiency and is also dangerous as a known fire hazard. Even if you are diligent in cleaning the dryer's lint screen, highly flammable textile bits eventually can clog up the ductwork leading outside, increasing the risk of a laundry room fire. SERVPRO's crews make dryer vent cleaning short work, protecting your house and shortening clothes drying times.
