Heavy Dust Accumulation in a 1990s Ranch near Windward Parkway

The camera showed a 2-inch blanket of gray dust caked across the bottom of every supply duct in this Alpharetta ranch. The homeowners had replaced their HVAC system three years prior but never had the ductwork cleaned; the new blower was pushing 20-year-old debris into every room. We used negative-pressure extraction (a large vacuum hooked to the main trunk that pulls debris toward the collection unit, not just a shop vac at the register) combined with Rotobrush mechanical agitation on the stubborn buildup. The after photos showed bare galvanized metal. Written price before work started: $420 for the full system. The photo record was delivered that evening.

Construction Debris in a New Build off Morris Road

This Morris Road home was only eight months old, but the camera found drywall dust packed 3 inches deep at the first elbow of the main return, plus a crumpled insulation wrapper we fished out with a retrieval tool. New construction in Alpharetta moves fast; crews don’t always seal registers before sanding and the HVAC gets used as a building fan. We sealed the system, ran negative-pressure extraction through each duct run (the individual branch lines extending from the trunk to each room), and used compressed air whips on the plenum (the large central chamber where return air mixes before reaching the furnace). The after photos showed clean metal and no particulate. Written price: $380, agreed before we touched a panel.

Microbial Growth in a Basement System near North Point Parkway

The camera revealed dark, patchy growth on the interior walls of three supply ducts in this finished basement near North Point Parkway. Alpharetta’s clay-heavy soil keeps basements humid in summer, and this system’s dehumidifier had failed two seasons prior. We don’t just vacuum around growth. We treated the affected duct runs with an EPA-registered sanitizer applied through a fogging system after mechanical cleaning, then ran a second pass with the Nikro HEPA-filtered collection unit. The after photos showed clean metal with no visible staining. We also flagged the dehumidifier failure in the written job record so the homeowner could address the source. Written price before work: $590 including sanitizing treatment.

Pet Hair Blockage in a Multi-Return System off Old Milton Parkway

This Old Milton Parkway home had three Golden Retrievers and a return duct system that was essentially a fur collection network. The camera showed a dense mat of hair and dander completely blocking one 8-inch return duct; the room had been stuffy for months and the homeowner assumed it was a damper issue. We used mechanical brushing to break up the mat, then high-velocity compressed air to push it toward the negative-pressure extraction point. The collected debris filled a 5-gallon HEPA bag. After photos showed full airflow diameter restored. Written price: $450 for the complete system. The photo record included a close-up of the blockage for the homeowner’s vet, who had asked about environmental factors affecting the dogs’ allergies.

Failed Duct Sealing Job in a 2000s Two-Story near Webb Bridge Road

A previous contractor had “sealed” this Webb Bridge Road home’s ducts with foil tape that was already peeling at every joint. The camera showed gaps up to a quarter-inch at the plenum connections, blowing conditioned air into the attic. Alpharetta’s summer heat means that lost air is lost money. We removed the failed tape, cleaned the joints to bare metal, and applied mastic sealant (a thick, brush-on compound that hardens into a permanent flexible seal, not tape that degrades with temperature cycling). We then pressure-tested the system to verify leakage was below 10 percent of fan flow. After photos showed smooth, continuous seals at every joint. Written price before work: $680 for repair and full system cleaning. The photo record included the pressure test readout.

Post-Renovation Cleanup in a Kitchen Remodel near Avalon

This homeowner near Avalon had completed a beautiful kitchen renovation, but the contractor never sealed the supply register during demo. The camera found concrete dust, wood splinters, and what appeared to be a dried chunk of grout 15 feet into the duct run serving the breakfast nook. We isolated the kitchen zone, used mechanical agitation to break up the packed debris, and ran three passes of negative-pressure extraction until the collection unit showed clear exhaust. The after photos showed clean duct walls and no residual grit. Written price: $340 for the affected zone, agreed before we started. Full system cleaning was added after the homeowner saw the kitchen photos; total came to $520 with the written amendment signed before continuation.
