Just Moved Into a New Home and It's Already Dusty?
Whether it's new construction or a resale, there's almost certainly years of contamination inside your air ducts. Every DMV home needs move-in duct cleaning.
What's Hiding in Your New Home's Ducts
Check how many of these apply to your home:
The Data Is Clear
New construction homes contain an average of 12 pounds of construction debris in their ductwork — drywall dust, sawdust, insulation fibers, paint overspray, and sometimes tools left behind by workers.
Why Your New Home Is Already Contaminated
Construction Debris (New Builds)
During construction, ducts are open and exposed for months. Drywall dust, sawdust, insulation fibers, concrete dust, and paint particles settle inside. Builders almost never clean ducts before handoff.
Previous Owner's Years of Neglect
In resale homes, ducts may not have been cleaned in 5, 10, or even 20+ years. You're inheriting decades of dust, pet dander, mold spores, and whatever the previous family left behind.
Previous Owner's Pets
Even if a home looks clean, pet dander and hair accumulate deep inside ductwork. If the previous owners had pets, those allergens are embedded in your duct system.
Renovation Dust
If the previous owner did renovations without sealing ducts, construction dust from their remodel is circulating through your home.
Mold From Vacancy
Homes that sit empty between owners, especially in DMV summers, develop mold in ductwork from humidity and lack of air circulation.
Smoking Residue
If previous occupants smoked, tar and nicotine residue coat the inside of ductwork. This can't be cleaned with surface cleaning — it requires professional duct decontamination.
Our Move-In Duct Cleaning Service
Our professional process addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Pre-Move-In Inspection
We camera-inspect your entire duct system before you move furniture in, documenting exactly what's inside. You see the video — nothing is hidden.
Construction Debris Removal
We remove all construction materials, debris, and contamination using industrial negative-pressure equipment.
Full System Cleaning
Every supply duct, return duct, trunk line, and register is cleaned to bare metal. We remove 5-15 pounds of material from the average home.
Sanitization
Antimicrobial treatment eliminates any mold, bacteria, or allergens left by previous occupants — giving you a truly fresh start.
New Filter Installation
We install a fresh, high-quality air filter appropriate for your system and provide filter size and replacement recommendations.

What You Can Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely yes. New construction homes are among the dirtiest we see. During 6-12 months of construction, ducts are exposed to drywall dust, sawdust, insulation fibers, concrete dust, and debris. Builders focus on finishing the home — duct cleaning is not part of their scope. We regularly pull 10-15 pounds of construction material from new build ducts.
