Paul [last named removed -- Ed] came out to my house and did a great job last night.
I had done a reno on my place a few yrs ago but the original part of the house may have never been cleaned. 1950's
Now I was told by more than one company that they hook a vacuum up to the furnace and suck out all of the dirt as it comes down as they blow air down the pipes. Capps takes a different approach they clear the lines out first before even hitting the furnace area. Paul took the time to explain with all of the turns and change in direction of the pipes it would be impossible to pressurize the entire system to "suck it all down-wards" so they start and work back-wards for a better cleaning, it takes them longer but they do it right.
Paul took the time to setup and explain every step as he went along he started at the top floor and worked his way through the rooms with the air snake and vacuum tube the tube has to be about 8-10 inches wide, the snake goes through the vents and blows compressed air back-wards toward the vacuum, i could hear the stuff going through the tube to the truck.
My upstairs was fairly clean as it is the new part. when he got to the main floor and went to the large air return the stuff really started to come out, he said it looked mostly like drywall and wood shavings. He worked his way to the basement and did a bunch of cleaning at the furnace and the big stack that's attached to it.
All in all they took just over 2 hrs and he also mentioned I should be fine for 4-5 yrs possibly longer.
He sprayed a deodorizer and the house had a faint pine smell for a bit but it was gone by the time we went to bed.
He came with one other employee and I couldn't believe how courteous he was the whole time even with his worker, please and thanks were most of the words they used. One would turn on the air and after each off and on they would thank each other.
I would recommend Capps Duct Cleaning Services in a second to anyone that asked. They were not the cheapest but they did a great job and I think based on how other's explained their process his job was worth it.
Thanks
