QUICK ANSWER
What air duct sanitizing actually does.
01✓
Air duct sanitizing treats selected HVAC surfaces with a suitable product after inspection and any needed cleaning.
It is not needed for every odor. Sanitizing cannot repair damaged ducts, stop active moisture, remove hidden animals, or fix an HVAC drain issue.
ODORS WE INVESTIGATE
Odor Problems We Help Investigate
Smoke Odor
Duct service may reduce residue in the system but cannot remove smoke trapped in walls, carpet, furniture, or insulation.
Pet Odor
We can remove reachable hair and debris near returns, vents, and filters; other surfaces may need separate cleaning.
Cooking and Stale Odors
Cooking odors may enter returns. Dirty filters or weak kitchen ventilation may also contribute.
Dead-Animal Odor
We inspect accessible areas. Hidden remains, nests, or live animals may require pest-control or wildlife professionals.
Source-Focused Treatment
The source must be addressed before deodorizing or sanitizing so the odor is less likely to return.
TREATMENT CHECK
When Sanitizing May Be Suitable
Treatment may be considered when:
The odor source has been handled
Loose debris has been removed
Surfaces can be treated safely
Product directions can be followed
