How Decades Worth Of Dust is Deep-Cleaned From Air Ducts | Deep Cleaned | Insider 

Yessir same

We agree, Brandon!

I mean the workers are not wearing any face mask, dust mask or any protective accessory at all. I don't think it is a healthy work environment

@@saikfait when I worked for them in the height of covid we were required to wear masks. I can't speak for the policy now but if you asked them to I bet they'd wear them.

Any tips for getting into that industry?

@@calisto789 hvac is a solid trade to learn if that’s the route you choose to go I would recommend a trade school or finding a place that will hire you and pay for your school.

same bro 💀

Me too 😂

Do you need to clean your air duct

Nah i absolutely love the smell of dust and lint.

You just described a hazmat suit

I’m sure he’s weellllllllll aware of the serious risks associated with his job. Could’ve been done just for the video so he doesn’t look like he’s going on a space shuttle launch to potentially millions of people. Could also be that he’s an adult who’s willing to take calculated risks while being comfortable over wearing full PPE and being totally uncomfortable every single day. At the end of the day I’m sure most of us agree that he should probably at least be wearing a proper N95 and maybe some eyewear however that’s his decision to make not ours. I know some people who totally panic wearing face masks so you just never know the reason why.

We might be only seeing the demonstration parts of the vid so we don't see him wear mask. If he is going to do some serious dust cleening where he is expected to have chuck face full of dust then its safe to expect he is going to use a mask since he is a professional after all. Like this part at 3:43

Maybe if you had your vent cleaned they do wear rotective clothing and a mask i dont recall goggles you can clean your ow n vent as well.

Its just dust mate

I know when I worn plastic type safety glasses, especially whenever the forehead has a bit of a must forming from some perspiration on the edge of becoming a dripping nightmare.... The onslaught of dusty particles floating freely in my view .... especially the micro pieces of dust, dead skin cells floating, & unknown debris particles would cling to my glasses on both sides ... obstruction of my limited view...over 50 % reduction of clear sight ... & The naked eyeball is that much closer to getting a stray dust bunny cousin or so to poke me in the eyes or hang freely on my lower eyelid area or in my eyelashes... Where if I just closed my eyes in bursts as I cleaned out the vent ... Since the vent cannot move physically from the spot it's in...... Control the directions of where the dust flies.... & Be diligent on finding all the remaining stuff that didn't fully exit the targeted area to get cleaned ..... & Take that soft little ... Whambulance card carrying.... attitude of ....oh my gosh ...I'm gonna get filthy... Oh heavens...look at my clothes .. they have filthy all over them now & gosh ... It must be excruciating to breathe.... normally....as you obviously don't sit there with a mouth all jaw slacked like goober Pyle on AG Show ..... Daydreaming of the fun flavors of the fungi flying in the work space .... This is a bit of dirty ...but is it a hazmat level every time ....I seriously would doubt it ... And why point out all these mind blowing acts in their videos...if u WANT TO WEAR A MASK ....TTTT...TTT..IMMMMY...wear a flipping mask ...out on 2 pairs of safety glasses ....cover your tootsies up with a full coverall type of suit .. like painters & other cleaning crews wear on more risky type jobs . To prevent any contamination to invade your clothes or in your lungs or melt in through your epidermal organ.... It is indeed the largest organ people have ....so keep it healthy & throw some soap & water on the epidermal areas later that evening to be triple troubleshooter safe

Hey,make sure there’s no saw dust n home building debris or you should get the ducts done before you move in for sure!!

Yes an individual apartment can be done. I do duct cleaning

You have to report it to lanlord and they have to contract someone to clean it out

We do a lot of apartment buildings and townhouses and condos. We are offering franchises and hope to be out to your area soon!

@@kurahome Thank you. My speciic question was, does it suffice to do an individual apartment, or do you have to do the whole builing, since vent ducts are shared?

It's time to get your air ducts cleaned!

Yes

Very meticulously! We do come across this scenario and do our best not to damage the surrounding paint.

Razor knife, patience, tapping and maybe some pounding to cleanly break sealed edges, Alternatively, consider using negative air pressure method which extracts from trunk lines

I live in an old apartment and that’s exactly how it is 😂

The video was all about that. Were you awake and actually watching the video.

What year?

How did they clean your air ducts? What was the process?\

@@kurahome he used a vacuum hose. I still can’t run the AC. Every time I do black particles fly out. The guy has completely ruined my system and I don’t have money to pay for it to be fixed.

Change your filter. Put damp t shirt over duct registers. Run your system, just on fan. For 5 min. Clean up. Change filter and should be good. Or call them to deal with their mess. You paid them. Talk to management of duct cleaning co.

@@peterniven870 I had the entire duct system replaced. Thanks for the tip. Will definitely keep it for future.

They have air ducts to disperse cool and hot air from the “air handler”throughout the home. In newer homes typically called “central heating and air”. A lot of old style mobile homes have air ducts on the floor, or even returns on the floor and airducts on the ceiling. but I have come across floor vents in a house. Terrible design to say the least …. Newer houses have air ducts on the ceiling or wall near the ceiling.

Have you been living in a cave that has no air ducts?

They are only showing the worst homes.

They typically provide centralized heating and/or cooling. For example, my area is as cold as -40°C during winter cold snaps and as hot as 40°C in summer heat waves. Opening a window under those conditions would be less than helpful.

@@B.D.F. We have more a -10 to 35~40°C range but not every year. Not everybody have an air conditioning. We help us with fans and other methods. But there are one or another flat/house with air conditioning, but not in this way. To have it warm in winter we use heaters with water circulation. Isn't the heated air pretty dry?

Since the 1960's in Canada they have central heating in a lot of homes at least our did and it was built in 1960 and had he same oil furnace until it was sold in 2010, that 50 years.

@@UncompressedWAVmusic this doesn't answer it for me. :/ Like I said last year, we have radiators. The hot water is also heated centrally and then transported to the individual radiators throughout the building. the air in winter is also dry, but I imagine the air from the shafts is even drier. Added to this is all the dust if the shafts are not cleaned well.

It gets sucked up by our vacuum!

The backrooms

Yeah the fact that the coil, condenser, furnace, and blower fan weren’t serviced leaves a lot of debris, dust and stench in that house. They needed more done than just the ducts.

BS about your comment that unless 50 years of smoking you don't need this service. Get your head examined. I bought a house and my wife and I were fine in it. At our initial house warming party my brothe and my niece said their allergies were going through the roof. So we looked into the upstairs air intake grates in the hallway and it looked like the ducts were fur lined. As in pets for years. So I had the ducts cleaned and the fur lining was sucked all out of the system. Heavy smoking or a lot of pet hair or other reasons can make you ducts very dirty and need a cleaning.

It’s only dangerous if you don’t educate yourself on proper home maintenance. Not everyone has this dirty of home. I do HVAC cleaning partly for a living and have seen money a home or business have almost new looking HVAC but they still hired us to clean it.

If you don't research the contractor you hire then you just remain clueless.

If you have air ducts in a central furnace or central air then you have ducts unless your house has other types of heating and only have windows.

A heating system has air ducts in the floor.

Ease of installation in existing residences, especially those with basements or crawl spaces.

Heat rises, if you put them up high you'll never warm a house. Also most are placed near windows and doors, those are the biggest place cold air gets in so you heat that area.

​@@moseyoriginal Mine doesn't, the HVAC is on top of the 3rd floor!!

​@@indyguy3400 Wrong. Our HVAC is on the 3rd floor roof. Due to the odd, "Remodeling," of the former owners, there's only one register on the 1st FL, over the kitchen sink! I put a box fan on low, to pull the heat through the DR to LR, the latter has a reversible fan, so I pull the heated air through, up, or push it down - depending on temperature. Looking into hanging round, industrial ductwork from the DR through LR, as DIY. Put in double-paned sliding glass windows, for both sound and temperature control.

its your volume lol

The volume is not low you need a ear doctor

Well the machines they are using should be a lot more robust than just a shopvac. With the right technician you only need a 500 rpm fan with a brush line, air hose, and that plastic seal to do a really good job.

Is it still there??

@@peterniven870 yep

@@alistertowelie least you know you don't have mice. Cause your fry is still there.

@@peterniven870 well, like i said, its just a fake toy one lol
