Camera Duct Inspection & Air-Quality Assessment in Lancaster

No — it's priced to stand on its own, and a meaningful share of inspections end with 'not yet.' You get photos, a written report, and a verdict measured against EPA's conditions. Plenty of customers use it to evaluate another company's quote, which we consider a perfectly good outcome.

Dust depth, debris, moisture staining, growth-suspect areas, torn liner, and crushed or disconnected runs — through every accessible supply and return plus both plenums. You watch the screen live as we go, so by the time the report arrives, you've already seen everything in it yourself.

That is the pattern in the older half of Lancaster. New equipment moves more air than the original duct was built to carry, so the noise is pressure rather than a defect. A static pressure reading at the air handler settles it in a few minutes. The remedy is usually more return area or a larger trunk section, and neither one is a cleaning.

Restriction is the usual cause, but it is far more often on the return side or at the filter than deep in the branches. A dense filter in an undersized grille starves the coil, the surface temperature drops below freezing and airflow stops altogether. We check filter type, grille size and static pressure before assuming there is anything inside the duct at all.

Different ones. That stock was built with the equipment and the duct designed together, so the mismatch problem largely disappears and what shows up instead is age: sagging flex, an unopened coil, insulation compressed at the straps. Two decades in, an inspection is reasonable. A cleaning frequently is not, and we will say which one you need.
