About the project

The homeowner had been dealing with allergy symptoms that seemed worse at home than anywhere else, and wanted the ducts checked to rule out dust as the cause.

It didn’t take long to find a reason to suspect that. The vent boots throughout the house had dust packed thick along every edge, gray buildup coating the metal walls and collecting heavier where the boot met the drywall. One vent had actual debris sitting at the bottom, a mix of dust, insulation fragments, and bits of drywall that had worked their way in over time. Another opening was so caked with dust that the vent shape itself was hard to make out until we got a light directly on it.

We went vent by vent, clearing the buildup out of each boot, vacuuming out the loose debris, and wiping down the metal until it was bare again. Once the vents were clear we checked the rest of the accessible ductwork and confirmed nothing else was holding onto dust the way those openings had been.

By the end, every vent opening was back to clean metal, no more dust rimming the edges or sitting in the bottom of the boot.
