Air Duct Cleaning

Cleaner Ducts, Fresher Air, Healthier Home

Done's professional air duct cleaning removes years of accumulated dust, debris, and contaminants from your Denver home's ductwork — using truck-mounted vacuum systems and source-removal methods that actually work.

What's Inside Your Ducts

Your Ductwork Collects More Than Just Dust

Every cubic foot of air your HVAC system moves passes through your ductwork — along with whatever particles it carries. Over time, ducts accumulate dust, pet dander, mold spores, insulation fibers, and in Colorado, a surprising amount of construction debris from the original build. That buildup doesn’t just sit quietly: every time your system kicks on, it redistributes those particles through every room in your home. If someone in your household has asthma, allergies, or a compromised immune system, the condition of your ducts matters more than you might think.

Done has been cleaning air ducts for Denver metro families since 1999 using NADCA-standard source-removal methods — not the low-cost air-wash approach that simply blows debris further into your system. Our truck-mounted vacuum creates negative pressure inside your duct system while technicians agitate debris loose at every register. Learn more about our air duct cleaning process or call 833-539-9153 to schedule your cleaning.

  • Truck-Mounted Vacuum Systems Done uses powerful truck-mounted extraction equipment that creates true negative pressure in your duct system — pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper in.
  • Source-Removal Method Our technicians agitate debris at every supply and return register before extraction, ensuring contaminants are loosened and captured — not just disturbed and redistributed.
  • System Protection Throughout We protect your HVAC equipment, registers, and furnishings throughout the cleaning process. When we leave, your home is cleaner — not dustier.

Is It Time for a Cleaning?

Signs Your Air Ducts Need Professional Cleaning

Duct cleaning isn't something every home needs every year. But certain conditions make a professional cleaning worthwhile — and in some situations, genuinely important for your family's health.

  • Recent Renovation or Construction

    Construction generates enormous amounts of fine dust, drywall particles, and debris that find their way into duct systems. If you've had major work done, a post-renovation duct cleaning is one of the most practical things you can do.

  • Multiple Pets in the Home

    Pet dander, hair, and the micro-debris pets track in accumulates in ductwork faster than in pet-free homes. Families with heavy pet traffic typically benefit from cleaning every three to five years.

  • Visible Mold Growth Near Registers

    Mold visible at or around supply registers is a clear signal that the duct system needs inspection and cleaning. Done can identify the extent of growth and address it before it spreads further.

  • Worsening Allergy or Asthma Symptoms Indoors

    If household members experience more respiratory symptoms at home than elsewhere — particularly when the HVAC system is running — heavily contaminated ductwork may be contributing to the problem.

What's Included

What Done's Duct Cleaning Service Covers

A Done duct cleaning is a complete service, not a race-to-the-door special. Here's exactly what our technicians do at every job.

  • Pre-Cleaning System Inspection Before we start, a technician inspects accessible ductwork and your air handler for mold, moisture problems, and any conditions that need to be addressed alongside the cleaning.
  • Negative Pressure Extraction We connect our truck-mounted vacuum to your duct system's main trunk to establish negative pressure throughout, then clean each supply and return branch individually.
  • Air Handler and Blower Cleaning The air handler, blower wheel, and evaporator coil access area are cleaned as part of every duct cleaning — because a clean coil and clean ducts work together, not independently.
  • Optional Sanitizing Treatment For homes with mold concerns, pet odors, or occupants with compromised immune systems, Done offers EPA-registered sanitizing treatments applied inside the duct system after cleaning.

Our Process

How a Done Duct Cleaning Works, Step by Step

We're upfront about what we do and how long it takes. A typical whole-home duct cleaning for a single-family Denver home takes three to five hours — not 45 minutes.

  1. Inspection and Setup

    Our technician inspects your duct system, identifies any problem areas, and sets up truck-mounted vacuum equipment before any cleaning begins. Registers and furniture are protected.

  2. Negative Pressure Extraction

    We connect the vacuum to your main trunk line and establish negative pressure throughout the system. This ensures that debris we loosen gets pulled out — not pushed back into your living spaces.

  3. Branch-by-Branch Agitation and Cleaning

    Technicians work through every supply and return register, using air whips, brushes, and contact vacuuming to loosen and extract accumulated debris from duct walls.

  4. Final Inspection and System Restart

    After cleaning, we do a final inspection, reinstall all registers, clean up our work area, and restart your HVAC system. We walk you through what we found and what we did before we leave.

Had an excellent experience with It's Done Plumbing and Jake the technician. He showed up early, gave me an accurate estimate and finished the job to my complete satisfaction. Will definitely use their services again.

9/08/21 Had another plumbing issue and call Done again. Superb service. Caleb and Dalton did a terrific job. Fast, thorough, clean and helpful. I won't even consider calling anyone else.

2/7/23 Jaered from Done came and cleared a slow basement drain. Quick, professional and left no mess. Done is the only plumbing service I use. Always satisfied.

3/1/24 I was considering having a tankless hot water system installed. I reached out to Done! to see about an estimate. The price was higher than I can afford right now. The price is in line with what others are charging. I didn't have any ideas going in, so this is not a knock on Done! Tankless systems are expensive. I never felt any pressure from the tech. He was professional and courteous.

4/21/26 Decided to have a preemptive cable clean out due to some roots from a holly plant. We weren't having an issue, just decided to stay ahead of it. Jason was quick, courteous and efficient. A good experience.

We contacted Done Plumbing after our water heater broke. They didn’t have availability until the next day but still managed to get up on the schedule within hours! Terry arrived and was very thorough with his work he not only looked at the direct problem but also things that could have cause it. He didn’t just tell us what was wrong but showed us as well. He was very transparent with pricing options and options for a new water heater and even gave us estimates for future work that will help prevent this from happening again. He was very understanding about our request for boot covers due to allergies and even offered to wear gloves and a full coveralls which we greatly appreciated! He worked hard and efficiently and was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Very friendly! As unfortunate as it was to have it break he made it a better experience and fully replaced it same day! We could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much Terry and the Done Plumbing team! Ya’ll are wonderful!

A very experienced, professional and skilled team of Caedon, Tyler, James and Eli re-wired the main floor of our 100+ year old home when a small electrical fire was found during a diagnostic visit meant to trouble shoot a malfunctioning bedroom ceiling light.

The team was extremely thorough and corrected several wiring errors that had been done over the past 100 years - some due to code changes and some due to shoddy, cutting-corners-work done on a 10 year old remodel. The project took two days, and included breaker panel additions, discovering buried outlets, and eliminating live sections of wire no longer being used. The team cleaned up the work space every day and patched wall areas that were cut in an attempt to locate buried outlets. With every discovery, the situation was explained in depth and at the level where we could understand the issue.

We have used Done for large plumbing, and now, large electrical work and have been 1000% satisfied with every interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?

The EPA and NADCA generally recommend duct cleaning every three to five years for typical homes, or sooner following events like renovation, fire or smoke damage, mold discovery, or moving into a previously owned home with unknown maintenance history. Homes with pets, smokers, or occupants with respiratory conditions may benefit from more frequent cleaning. A Done technician can give you a realistic recommendation based on what they see during inspection.

How is Done's duct cleaning different from cheaper services I see advertised?

Many low-cost duct cleaning offers — often under $100 for the whole house — use portable vacuums and compressed air to blow debris through your system rather than extract it. Done uses truck-mounted vacuum equipment that creates genuine negative pressure throughout your duct system, combined with source-removal agitation at every register. It takes longer and costs more than a blow-and-go service, but it actually removes contaminants rather than redistributing them. Learn more about our full ductwork services.

Will duct cleaning help with musty smells coming from my vents?

It depends on the source. Musty odors from vents are most often caused by mold or bacteria growth in the duct system, on the evaporator coil, or in the air handler — all of which Done cleans as part of our service. In cases of active mold growth, we may also recommend a sanitizing treatment. If odors persist after cleaning, an IAQ assessment may identify additional sources like the coil or drain pan.

Do I need to be home for a duct cleaning?

Yes — we require an adult to be present for the duration of the service. Duct cleaning requires access to your air handler, all supply and return registers, and usually your attic or crawl space. The job typically takes three to five hours for a standard single-family home. We give you a scheduling window and call before arrival so you can plan your day. Book online or call 833-539-9153 and we’ll find a time that works for you.
