What is usually in Mason ductwork?
Construction dust from the original build, then whatever twenty-five years of living added. Houses from the 1990s and 2000s have purpose-built duct runs with proper returns, so a negative-pressure clean reaches the whole system. The most common finding is a blower compartment that has never been opened, which quietly costs airflow across the entire house.
Is duct sealing different from duct cleaning?
Completely, and sealing is usually the one that saves money. Cleaning removes what is inside the ducts. Sealing closes the joints and seams that are leaking conditioned air into an attic, a crawl space or a wall cavity, which in a typical house is a meaningful share of what you paid to heat and cool. If your goal is a lower bill or rooms that never keep up, sealing and airflow are the conversation. If your goal is what is coming out of the registers, cleaning is.
Something has been living in the ductwork.
Then cleaning is genuinely warranted, and it is not the first step. The entry point has to be found and closed first, or you are cleaning a duct that gets reoccupied. Nesting material, droppings and the smell that comes with them do belong out of a system that blows into bedrooms, and this is the scenario where duct cleaning is unambiguously worth the money. Expect the job to include the return side, which is usually where they get in.
How do I know if my ducts actually need cleaning?
Take a register cover off and look, and take a photo of what you see. Some settled dust on the bottom of the duct is normal in any house. What is not normal is a visible layer coating the sides, debris you can identify like drywall dust or insulation, anything that looks like nesting material, or a smell that turns up when the system starts and fades when it stops. Ask any contractor to show you inside your own ducts before quoting, and be wary of one who quotes without looking.
How often should ducts be cleaned?
There is no calendar answer, and any company giving you a fixed interval is guessing at your house. Condition drives it: pets, smokers, allergies, recent construction, and whether the system has been run without a filter all change the answer far more than time does. For most houses with none of those, the honest interval is longer than the industry advertises. Look inside a register every couple of years and let what you see decide it.
