Air Duct Cleaning Before & After in Orlando, FL

Photos are the fastest way to know what’s actually inside your ducts and what a professional cleaning removes. We take before-and-after documentation on every job because Omar Haddad has always believed the work should speak for itself. No stock photos, no generic “clean home” images. You see your own system, your own return register, and the actual debris we pulled out of it. Here’s what that looks like in Orlando homes, from College Park to Lake Nona.

Return Register Clogged with Construction Dust in Dr. Phillips

BeforeAfter

The homeowners had just finished a kitchen remodel and noticed a fine white film settling on furniture within two days of dusting. When we pulled the return register in Dr. Phillips, the filter had been doing its job but the return cavity behind it was caked with drywall dust the contractor’s cleanup crew never touched. We ran the Rotobrush rotary system through the return trunk and branch lines while the Nikro HEPA vacuum pulled negative pressure on the system. The register face went from gray-white to bare metal, and the static pressure in the system dropped enough that the AC was moving air noticeably better that same afternoon.

Pet Hair and Dander Build-Up in a Winter Park Home with Three Dogs

BeforeAfter

This Winter Park house had three Labrador retrievers and a supply register in the hallway that looked like the inside of a vacuum bag. The owners ran their AC ten months a year, which meant the blower was pulling pet hair into the return side constantly. We cleaned the full system: return trunk, supply trunk, and all branch lines, then installed a fresh Guardsman media filter at the air handler. The after photo shows a register you could eat off, but the real win was the odor. The house smelled neutral again within 48 hours, not like wet dog every time the AC kicked on.

Mold-Suspect Growth in a Baldwin Park Bathroom Exhaust and Supply Line

BeforeAfter

Baldwin Park homes run humid nine months a year, and bathroom supply runs are where we see trouble first. This client called because a musty smell would spike every time the bathroom door closed. We found dark spotting on the inside of the supply boot and on the first three feet of flex duct. We set up an Abatement Technologies containment unit to keep the work isolated, brushed the affected run with the Rotobrush, HEPA-vacuumed the loose material, and treated the boot with an EPA-registered antimicrobial. The after photo shows clean galvanized steel and a register that no longer looks like a science project. We recommended a dehumidifier for that bathroom and scheduled a follow-up visual inspection at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Twenty Years of Dust and Debris in a Conway Home That Had Never Been Cleaned

The homeowner in Conway bought the house in 2003 and had never had the ducts cleaned once. Twenty years of dust, a few dead palmetto bugs, some loose fiberglass from old duct board, and a surprising amount of children’s toys that had been dropped down floor registers. We extracted 14 gallons of debris from a 1,600-square-foot system. The after photo shows the inside of the trunk line looking like new sheet metal. The customer’s wife called us two days later because she’d stopped waking up congested for the first time in years.

Dryer Vent Lint Accumulation in an Apopka Rental Property

A property manager in Apopka called us for a routine turnover cleaning after tenants moved out of a three-bedroom rental. The dryer was taking two cycles to dry a single load, which is a red flag for vent restriction. We found the 18-foot vertical run packed with compacted lint, including a solid plug at the second elbow where the vent turned toward the roof cap. After extraction, we ran a camera down the full length to document the clean interior. The dryer dried a full load in 42 minutes that same day. For rental properties, we recommend dryer vent cleaning at every tenant turnover and at least annually for long-term tenants. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies here too, so the property manager gets a free return visit if the vent clogs again within the year.
