New-Construction Duct Dust-Out in Grand Prairie

Sometimes it's in the contract; often it's skipped or done superficially in the rush to closing. Ask your builder for documentation — an invoice and photos. If they can't produce it, our camera answers the question in an hour, and the pre-clean photos give you standing to raise it before your warranty window closes.

After the final sanding and paint work, before move-in — that's when the ducts have collected everything they're going to collect and your belongings aren't in the way. Already moved in? Still absolutely worth doing; the work is identical, we just add drop cloths and a little more care around furniture.

Worth an inspection, not automatically a cleaning. South Grand Prairie's newer subdivisions are young enough that use has not put much into the system. What we find in that vintage is more often construction leftovers in a boot the builder never capped, or a flex run crushed against a truss, and neither of those is solved by cleaning.

Yes, and it is different work. The supply trunk runs in the belly under the floor rather than overhead, and the crossover duct linking the two halves is the usual failure point. If it has separated or dropped into the dirt, cleaning is beside the point until that connection is restored and the belly wrap is closed back up.

Small original equipment long since replaced by something larger, one central return, and duct routed through a shallow attic wherever it would fit. We map the routing before quoting. Disconnected runs above the ceiling and a return undersized for the current blower are more common findings here than genuine filth.
