Return Duct Packed with Construction Debris in Buckhead

The homeowner had just finished a kitchen remodel and noticed dust settling on every surface within two days of wiping. We found the return duct carrying drywall dust, sawdust, and a surprising amount of paint chips. After running our Rotobrush system through the return and extracting with the Nikro HEPA vacuum, airflow returned to normal and the dust settled down. This is a common story in Buckhead’s older condo buildings where renovations happen above and below you.

Pet Hair and Dander Blanket in a Smyrna Single-Family Home

This house had two German Shepherds and a cat, and the HVAC filter was being changed maybe twice a year. The supply ducts had a visible layer of hair and dander matted along the bottom edge. We used the Rotobrush to loosen everything, then pulled it out with negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. The family told us the sneezing in the house dropped off noticeably within the first week.

Mold Surface Growth on Supply Registers in Decatur

Atlanta humidity creates the conditions for this kind of problem. The homeowner in Decatur noticed dark spotting around several supply registers and called us before it spread further. We cleaned the affected duct runs with our equipment and treated the surfaces to prevent regrowth. If you see dark spots around your registers, especially in summer, call us before it gets worse and the remediation bill climbs.

Decades of Dust Buildup in an East Atlanta Bungalow

This bungalow had original ductwork from the 1960s and no record of it ever being cleaned. The dust layer was thick enough that you could scrape it with a finger. We ran the full process with containment from Abatement Technologies so the dust didn’t spread through the house during the work. The homeowner said the air smelled different, cleaner, the same evening we finished.

Dryer Vent Clogged with Lint in Roswell

Dryer vents are a fire risk when they get this packed. The Roswell homeowner noticed clothes taking two cycles to dry and a burning smell when the dryer ran. We cleared the lint and found a partial bird’s nest near the exterior vent opening, which we removed and then recommended a vent cover. Dryer on one cycle again, and the fire hazard is gone. If your clothes are taking longer to dry than they used to, that’s your sign.

Rental Turnover Cleanout in Midtown Atlanta

Property managers in Midtown call us between tenants because a clean duct system makes a unit easier to rent and reduces complaints. This unit had a mix of dust, hair, and what looked like the contents of a spilled planter. We cleaned the whole system, replaced the return filter, and delivered before-and-after photos to the property manager, which makes for good documentation when the next tenant asks about air quality.
