Air duct and dryer vent cleaning inMilwaukee

Milwaukee houses have their own quirks, from add-on ductwork in old bungalows to boiler heat with no ducts at all.

The short answer

We clean air ducts and dryer vents in Milwaukee homes, and we will tell you honestly what we find. Bungalows, Polish flats and duplexes often have ductwork that was added over the decades, and many older homes heat with boilers and have no ducts to clean at all.

Homes around here

What we look at in Milwaukee homes.

Lake-effect winters

Furnaces run hard for months and the windows stay shut, so dust, pet hair and lint may build up inside the ductwork.

Spring and summer

Open windows and humid lakefront air. A good time for a look at the dryer vent and the basement run.

Bungalows

Older Milwaukee homes

Bungalows, Polish flats and upper/lower duplexes are a big part of what makes Milwaukee look like Milwaukee. They are also homes where ductwork was often added or extended one renovation at a time, leaving odd turns, patched sections and runs nobody remembers.

Duplexes

Duplexes: two sides, two systems

In a duplex, each unit may have its own furnace and its own set of ducts, so we look at each side separately and tell you what we find in each.

Boilers

No ducts? An honest note

Many older Milwaukee homes heat with boilers and radiators and have no air ducts at all. If that is your house, there are no air ducts to clean. The dryer vent may still need attention, and for boiler or furnace repairs you want a licensed HVAC contractor.

Basements

Dryer vents in basements

In many Milwaukee homes the dryer lives in the basement, and the vent has a long run up and out to the exterior wall. Long runs with a few bends collect lint, and lint burns easily. Having the full length cleaned may help reduce that fire concern.

Before you call

Milwaukee questions.

Do you clean homes with boiler heat?

If your home has no ducts there are no air ducts to clean, but the dryer vent still can be, and we are happy to do that.

Can you do both sides of a duplex?

Yes. Each unit with its own furnace is looked at separately. Tell us how many units and who to coordinate with.

Will duct cleaning fix a cold room?

Not necessarily. Airflow problems have many causes, and heavy debris is only one. A camera inspection can show whether anything is blocking the run. Balancing and repair are for a heating contractor.

Is there asbestos in older duct wrap?

It can be. Some older insulation wrap and tape contains it. Do not disturb it, and have it tested by a licensed asbestos professional before any cleaning nearby.
