Air duct & dryer vent cleaning — Tequesta, FL

Tequesta’s duct is among the oldest we open.

3,424 homes, 59.2% of them built before 1980 and 86.2% before 2000 — the third-oldest housing stock of the fourteen towns on this list. That is duct approaching fifty years old, above ceilings nobody has opened.

Why Tequesta is its own job

What half-century-old duct is actually like inside.

59.2% before 1980 and 86.2% before 2000 puts Tequesta third-oldest of the fourteen towns here, after Lake Worth Beach and North Palm Beach. Age changes what is in the duct and what the duct is made of.

  • Duct board, not only flexible sleeve

    Plenty of the plenums we photograph in this market are fibreglass duct board rather than sheet metal. Its inside face is porous, so it stains and holds odor where bare metal would simply be dusty.

  • Two decades of humidity, minimum

    Humidity is what turns settled dust into something that smells. On a system this old it is the difference between a dusty duct and a musty one, and it is why odor is treated at the surface rather than masked.

  • Low-rise condominium, not towers

    14.9% of Tequesta’s units sit in buildings of 20 to 49 and only 3.6% in buildings of 50 or more. The condominium work here is walk-up scale: no service elevator to book, no tower riser to trace.

  • The person deciding is the person living there

    80.2% of Tequesta’s units are owner-occupied, fourth-highest of the fourteen. Most visits are booked by whoever will live with the result, which is why the report is written to be read, not filed.

  • River and Intracoastal air

    The village sits where the Loxahatchee meets the Intracoastal. Salt-rich air reaches exposed metal — duct collars, register frames, the dryer hood — and corrosion there is a separate problem from dust.

  • Old is not the same as failed

    Age on its own is not a reason to replace anything. Failure is specific — a crushed run, a torn sleeve, a collar off the plenum — and the camera establishes which of those you have before a price is discussed.

The visit, in Tequesta

Five steps, and what each one means on a system this old.

Tap a step to see what happens on the day. The method does not change from town to town; what changes in Tequesta is the age of what it is applied to.

  1. HD video inspectionWe look before we clean.
  2. HEPA negative-air containmentThe dust never enters your rooms.
  3. 360° rotary agitationBrushed for what it is made of.
  4. Sanitize & mold defenseWhere an old smell actually lives.
  5. Airflow check & reportWe prove the result.

Step 1 of 5

HD video inspection

A camera runs the supply lines, the returns and the plenum first. On a system this age it answers a second question at the same time: whether the plenum is sheet metal or fibreglass duct board. That decides how it can be cleaned, and it is not something to find out with a brush.

Step 2 of 5

HEPA negative-air containment

The system is put under negative pressure with HEPA filtration before anything is agitated. Fifty years of settled debris is exactly the load you do not want released into a room, so it is pulled into our equipment from the first minute rather than the last.

Step 3 of 5

360° rotary agitation

Rotating brushes and compressed-air whips scrub the duct walls. Duct board is not worked like metal — its face is fibreglass, and treating it as though it were sheet metal is how a plenum gets damaged instead of cleaned. That is why the camera pass comes first.

Step 4 of 5

Sanitize & mold defense

A smell that comes back after a clean is a smell living in a surface, not in the air. Family- and pet-safe treatments are fogged through the system to reach those surfaces and to discourage the mold growth that Tequesta’s river and Intracoastal humidity encourage.

Step 5 of 5

Airflow check & report

Airflow is measured again, the coil and blower are checked, and you get before-and-after photographs plus a plain-language recommendation. On a fifty-year-old system that report is the valuable part: it names what is restricting the air, so the next dollar goes to the right place.

Beyond Tequesta

Tequesta is one of fourteen towns on this map.

Every town has its own page, because its housing stock decides what we find. Only Lake Worth Beach and North Palm Beach have an older one than Tequesta’s.

What customers wrote after an older system was opened.

Read customer reviews
“years of buildup inside the vents had made it hard for air to flow”

“At first, we thought that the problem with airflow upstairs meant we needed a whole new HVAC system. Luckily, the expert checked the ductwork first and found that years of buildup inside the vents had made it hard for air to flow. After fixing and cleaning the damaged areas, the whole floor is finally cool again. Saved us from wasting thousands of dollars.”

Taylor Warren
“I appreciate seeing the buildup they removed from the ducks”

“I appreciate seeing the buildup they removed from the ducks. It made me realise how necessary the cleaning actually was.”

Avery Mashiach
“a sanitising air vent clean killed off the concealed mildew”

“Until a sanitising air vent clean killed off the concealed mildew and we welcomed the musty scent every time we went through the front door.”

Ask us directly
My house is from the 1970s. Has that duct ever been cleaned?
Nobody can tell you before looking, which is why the camera pass comes first and costs you nothing. 59.2% of Tequesta’s housing predates 1980, so a system that has never been opened is the ordinary case here rather than the unusual one — and it is visible in the first minute of footage.
Why does the air smell musty when the AC starts?
That is one of the three calls we get most. A smell on start-up usually means something is growing on a damp surface — the coil, the drain pan, or the porous face of a duct board plenum. We find which one it is on camera before treating anything, because fogging a system without knowing that is how a smell comes back in a month.
Do you work in the village’s condominium buildings?
Yes. 14.9% of Tequesta’s units sit in buildings of 20 to 49 units, and those are usually scheduled through the association or the manager rather than unit by unit. Tell us the building and we will work out whether it is one unit, a stack of them, or shared duct the association owns.
Is fifty-year-old duct worth cleaning, or should it be replaced?
Cleaning, in most cases, and the footage is what settles it. Replacement is the answer to a specific failure — a crushed run, a torn sleeve, a collar that has come off the plenum — not to a date on a building permit. If we find one of those, it is written up as a repair and priced separately.
How often should ducts be cleaned here?
Most Florida homes do well every 3 to 5 years. Sooner if you have pets, allergies, a recent renovation, or if the smell on start-up has already come back once.
How long does a visit take?
A typical single-family home takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of vents and air handlers. Dryer vent cleaning on its own is usually under an hour.

Tell us what the air is doing. We will open it and look.

A musty smell when the system starts, a room that never cools, a dryer that needs two cycles — those are the three calls we get most. On a Tequesta system, the first two are usually the same problem.
