Air Duct Inspection
A Dallas air duct inspection is a comprehensive visual inspection of your air ducts, registers, and equipment to detect dust, debris, leaks, and other issues that might be occurring within your duct system. Dallas homeowners may request a duct inspection prior to a duct cleaning to verify the need for duct cleaning services or prior to buying a house, to check for air duct conditions that might not be noticed during a general home inspection. As a veteran-owned company, Clean Air Dallas Pro offers air duct inspections to Dallas residents and the more than 40 communities in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.
Our Dallas Air Duct Inspection Includes:
We use a borescope, which allows us to see the inner workings of your supply and return air ducts. Your duct inspection includes:
• Borescope examination of supply and return ducts
• Examination of all registers, grilles, and vents
• Checking the blower compartment and other components
• The condensate drain pan
• Accessible sections of the evaporator coil
Following the inspection, we will present you with photographic documentation to demonstrate our findings regarding your duct system.
When Should You Consider an Air Duct Inspection?
A duct inspection is recommended if you experience any of the following circumstances:
• **Post-renovation or post-construction** – Construction dust and debris can collect inside your ducts
• **Pre-move-in or post-move-out** – To know the quality of the air you will be breathing
• **Unexplained dust accumulation or odors** – Often indicative of air duct issues
• **Airflow imbalance** – Indicates obstructions, disconnects, or damages
• **Purchasing a new house** – A prudent action in the Dallas real estate market before closing
Air Duct Inspection vs. Air Duct Cleaning
The purpose of an inspection is to show the current condition of your duct system. On the other hand, an air duct cleaning removes contaminants that an inspection has revealed. Because our inspections are conducted without bias, we recommend a duct inspection before determining if cleaning is necessary. If your duct system is in good working order, we will let you know, saving you money on services that your home does not need.
Pricing Factors
Factors such as square footage, duct accessibility, and number of duct systems affect the price of an air duct inspection:
• **House size** – Larger houses have more ductwork to inspect
• **Ductwork accessibility** – Ducts that are difficult to access will take longer to inspect
• **Number of duct systems** – Houses with more than one system will take more time to inspect
To avoid surprises, we offer a complimentary estimate to help you understand the cost of an air duct inspection.

How do you inspect ductwork?
Our team performs a visual inspection on all exposed ductwork, registers and returns, and uses cameras to examine ductwork more closely for dust accumulation, debris and potential leaks. We will also show you what we have found and let you know whether or not your ducts require any cleaning prior to starting.
Do you go in every room to clean air ducts?
We clean all supply and return vents in all rooms that contain ductwork, removing the register cover so we can clean all lines back to the main trunk. Why clean just some of your ductwork when we can clean them all? Do you have any other questions about your house? Give us a call at Clean Air Dallas Pro, (214) 935-5058.
