Professional Air Duct Cleaning & Sanitization in Charleston, SC

Yes, absolutely. It is a common myth that new homes have clean ducts. In rapidly growing areas like Nexton, Cane Bay, and Carnes Crossroads, builders often run the HVAC system during construction. This sucks up drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation fibers before you even move in. We frequently remove buckets of construction debris from "brand new" systems that are clogging airflow and spreading fine particulate matter.

It is the first step. If you smell "dirty socks" or musty odors when the AC kicks on, you likely have biological growth inside your ductwork caused by Charleston's high humidity. Our Source Removal Method physically scrubs away this growth. For long-term protection, we also recommend applying an EPA-registered antimicrobial sanitizer to inhibit future spore reproduction.

Those "blow-and-go" offers are often bait-and-switch scams that only clean the vent covers, not the actual ductwork. At Coastal Carolina Comfort, we follow NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards. We use negative air pressure combined with mechanical agitation (rotobrushes) to clean the entire system—supply branches, return trunks, and the main plenum. We provide video proof of the work so you know it was done right.

No. We treat your home like a surgical suite. Our technicians wear shoe covers and use drop cloths to protect your floors. Because we put your duct system under negative pressure (vacuum) before we start brushing, all dust and debris are sucked directly into our HEPA-filtered containment unit. Nothing blows back into your living space.

For most homes in Dorchester and Charleston Counties, we recommend a deep cleaning every 3 to 5 years. However, if you have pets, smokers in the home, or residents with asthma/allergies, we recommend doing it every 2 years. If you have recently renovated your home, you should schedule a cleaning immediately to remove the renovation dust.
