Step 1: Initial System Inspection
Every professional cleaning begins with a detailed inspection. At Arvada Airduct Cleaning, we use state-of-the-art cameras and sensors to assess the condition of your ductwork. This helps us identify areas with dust buildup, microbial growth, pests, or blockages. You’ll receive a complete overview of our findings along with a customized service plan that fits your home’s unique needs.
This pre-cleaning step is not only informative but also essential for tailoring the process and determining the exact requirements for Negative Pressure Air Duct Cleaning.
“Clean ducts are the lungs of your home. We help your home breathe better—efficiently and safely.”

Step 2: Sealing and System Preparation
Before any cleaning begins, all vents and registers are sealed to control airflow. Protective coverings are used to prevent dust from escaping into your living space. Our technicians place floor mats and corner guards to protect your home’s interior. The HVAC system is turned off and prepped for vacuum connection.
This step ensures a controlled cleaning environment and sets up the negative pressure system correctly for optimal results.
Step 3: Applying Negative Pressure
The heart of the cleaning process lies in the application of negative pressure. A powerful vacuum unit, typically mounted on a truck or a portable system, is connected to the main trunk line of your HVAC system. Once activated, the vacuum creates a high-velocity suction that pulls dirt, debris, and allergens out of the duct system.
While the vacuum runs, our technicians use air whips, rotating brushes, and compressed air tools to agitate and dislodge debris from the inner duct walls. Everything is pulled directly into a sealed containment unit equipped with a HEPA filter.
Step 4: Cleaning HVAC Components
Beyond just ducts, we also clean critical HVAC components such as:
-
Blower motors
-
Evaporator coils
-
Drain pans
-
Return and supply plenums
Cleaning these parts helps improve system efficiency, airflow, and energy usage while also extending the lifespan of your HVAC unit.
Step 5: Sanitization and Deodorization (Optional)
Once physical cleaning is complete, an optional eco-safe sanitizing mist can be applied to kill bacteria, mold spores, and viruses. This is especially beneficial for households with pets, children, or members with respiratory sensitivities.
Our deodorizing treatment leaves behind a fresh, clean scent and ensures your air remains safe and pleasant.
Safety Measures You Can Trust
Safety is at the core of our cleaning practices. At Arvada Airduct Cleaning, we follow industry standards and use EPA-approved products to ensure no toxic residues are left behind. All equipment is HEPA-filtered, and our technicians are fully certified, insured, and background-checked.
