Renovation dust travels easily

Drywall dust, sawdust and construction debris can move through open returns, uncovered vents and mechanical rooms. If the furnace or fan ran during work, dust may be pulled deeper into the system.

Signs it is worth booking service

Visible dust inside vents, dusty returns, stale odors, dust blowing after the furnace starts and move-in cleaning after construction are common reasons to request duct cleaning.
