James was fantastic. Super responsive when we were setting up the appointment. He had given me a quote when we set up the appointment. He also took the time to explain what he had done, showed me a few things for basic maintenance and changed the filter on my furnace for me. Really was pleased with his work and his patience in explaining everything to me since I was more or less clueless. I will certainly have James back for future air duct cleaning. He also sent me before and after pictures. Thanks!

Cleaned dryer vent that was totally blocked from lint build up. James was very professional and even replaced a missing screw from a downspout he noticed while he was on the job. I’m so happy he fixed our problem and my clothes are actually dry after one cycle!

James did a great job for us. He helped us get an appt quickly so we could use our furnace again and went above and beyond to make sure it was done right. He was very respectful and a pleasure to have in our home. We have been through a mess and he didn’t make us feel like a mess he helped us feel like we were finally at the end of it to move forward. We have full confidence in the work he did and will recommend him to anyone we know

What’s hiding your Waukesha air ducts?!

Throughout the years of living in your home, dust, debris, allergens, and other contaminants build up in your cold air return when your furnace
cycles on.
During this process, it not only pulls in air but also sucks in dust, debris, pet dander, hair, construction debris, and other airborne allergens. Your furnace filter stops most of it from getting into your supply vents, but over time, it gets through. 

Changing your filter every 3 to 4 months is important to keep the debris out of your expensive furnace. Air duct cleaning is the process of removing all the debris out of both your return and supply vents so you and your family are breathing healthy air.

It’s time to get your air ducts cleaned if:

  • It’s been 5-7 years since your last cleaning
  • New home purchase
  • Recent construction
  • Allergies are bad
  • Changing filters every month
  • Vent covers are constantly covered in dust

The biggest fire hazard in your home is your dryer vent!

Totally Clean removes a lot of built-up lint in dryer vents around the City of Waukesha. Due to the age of homes and how the dryer vents are constructed, we often find that these vents are either neglected or improperly constructed. This causes large lint build-ups. Not getting your dryer vent cleaned every year increases the risk of dryer fires and unnecessary wear and tear on your dryer. If it takes a long time to dry your laundry, then your dryer is working extra hard. Therefore, your bills will be higher each month, and you will be replacing your dryer sooner than you need to!

Look for these signs if you suspect you need a dryer vent cleaning:

  • Damp clothes after a full cycle.
  • Clothes get very hot to touch.
  • The dryer keeps turning off before the cycle finishes.
  • A red warning light comes on, indicating a blockage.

Are you a property manager or property owner? Don’t forget you are liable if a dryer fire happens in your Waukesha commercial building. This is something that should not be neglected if you own a commercial building. It is the responsibility of the building owner to get residents dryer vents cleaned.

Project Description

Peggy Worthenger from Waukesha called Totally Clean because they were experiencing severe allergies and dust when the furnace kicked on in the winter. With Wisconsin being known for its cold and dry winters, the Worthenger family was suffering from severe allergies due to the high levels of contamination in their ductwork.

Their home was built in the 1930s, and the ducts were only cleaned once before they moved in 10 years ago. Since then, they have raised children and pets in this home located near N. Grand Ave & E. Park Ave. Pets and children tend to put objects where they don’t belong, and in this case, a lot of toys, dog food, and pet dander were present in the HVAC system.

Upon inspection, we found a very high level of pet hair, dust, and pet food in their ducts. It also appeared that the last company that cleaned the vents in this 2300-square-foot home also cut some corners. The ducting shouldn’t have been this dirty after 10 years, and the relics we also found shouldn’t have been there after the last cleaning.

Project Challenges

Since the home was built in the 1930s, the air ducts were covered in asbestos, and we had to find parts of the ducting that didn’t have asbestos so we didn’t disturb it. The other challenge was fishing out large chunks of plaster from the return vents and the difficulty working in a closet in which the furnace was located.

What We Found Inside

We found a lot of exciting objects inside this bungalow home near Canon Memorial Park. The supply vents throughout the house had insects, mouse droppings, toys, dog food, lots of dust, and pet hair.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

Peggy also hadn’t cleaned her dryer vent in nearly five years, so she hired Totally Clean to clean the lint out of this pipe. The laundry unit was located in the basement and terminated to the home’s exterior above the basement window. 

Results & Recommendations

This air duct cleaning job took us 3 1/2 hours to complete from start to finish. Usually, we would have cleaned these ducts quicker, but this home presented some challenges. We took multiple before & after pictures of this duct cleaning job, and the customer was thrilled. After we were done, the supply and return vents were spotless, and we removed a ton of dust and pet hair. Peggy even let us keep some of the incredible relics we found inside the vent since we like to collect vintage-era objects.

Once the job was complete, we packed up our duct cleaning equipment and changed out the furnace filter. Peggy stated that she had already noticed a difference in the smell of her home and the dust floating around the air. The air quality and Worthenger’s allergies significantly improved.

We recommended that they have their air ducts cleaned every 5-7 years based on the level of dust that accumulated in their ducting.  To help their respiratory issues, we also recommended that they purchase a few air purifiers and have a bypass humidifier installed onto the furnace. The reason for the humidifier is to put some more moisture in the air so their allergies improve.

Benefits of Service

Peggy and her family were a perfect example of why you need to get your air ducts cleaned. They were experiencing unnecessary allergies and dust-related issues because their ducting was so contaminated. By cleaning your HVAC system, you are not only improving your family’s health but also your furnace’s efficiency, which means you save money on utility bills! Who doesn’t want to save a dollar on energy bills these days?
