Evaporator Coil & Blower Cleaning in Manor
The two dirtiest components in the system, cleaned properly rather than sprayed at.

What that means for ducts
New-build ductwork
Roughly 71% of Manor's homes were built since 2010. New does not mean clean: the commonest thing we pull out of a five-year-old system is the construction phase itself — drywall fines, sawdust, insulation fiber — plus builder-grade flex that was kinked or crushed on the day and has been throttling that run ever since. Photographs matter more here, not less.
That is a reading of the city’s stock, not a diagnosis of your home. Which of it applies to you is exactly what the camera settles — and why we would rather run one than quote from a postcode.
02Working in Manor
The part that changes from street to street.
Manor has the youngest housing of anywhere we work, most of it finished within the last fifteen years and nearly all of it electric, which means a heat pump with strip heat and no flue anywhere in the building. That combination leaves us very little to sell and one thing genuinely worth doing. These houses are new enough that many are still with their first owner, and the systems coverage a builder writes runs out quietly while nobody is watching. A documented duct and airflow inspection before that window closes is the most valuable visit a house this age can get, because a flex run kinked over a truss or a boot that was never sealed to the drywall is the builder's problem right up until it becomes yours. The other item out here is water rather than dust. The air handler sits in an attic above finished ceilings, in a secondary pan with a float switch, and its condensate drain has usually never been cleared. That drain, not the duct, is what eventually comes through the ceiling.

03Evaporator Coil & Blower Cleaning — in this stock
Cleaning a system that is still carrying its own build.
A post-2010 system is usually not dirty in the way people picture. What comes out is the construction phase — drywall fines, sawdust, insulation fiber — that was pulled into open ducts before the house was ever occupied, plus whatever a kinked flex run has been collecting behind the crimp. That is a different cleaning: shorter, more targeted, and far more dependent on the before-and-after photographs, because the difference is not something you can smell.

05Questions
Asked in Manor, answered straight.
Our house is seven years old. Do the ducts need cleaning?
Almost certainly not, and we will put that in writing after looking. Seven years of ordinary use in a house that was clean when it was finished does not put anything in a duct worth removing. Spend the visit on the condensate drain, the coil and a check that the runs are intact, and keep the cleaning money until there is a reason to spend it.
What would a builder-warranty inspection actually turn up?
In Manor, most often a flex run pulled over a truss and kinked, a boot never sealed to the drywall so it draws attic air, a return undersized for the blower that was installed, or a plenum joint that was taped and nothing more. You get photographs and a written report, which is what a builder responds to. A verbal complaint is easy to deflect.
The AC drain overflowed and stained the ceiling last summer.
That is the failure mode of this housing stock and it is preventable. The primary line grows a biofilm and closes, the secondary pan takes the water, and if the float switch has also failed then the ceiling finds out first. Clearing the line and testing the switch is a short annual job. Nothing about cleaning the duct would have prevented it.
