Air Duct Cleaning Before & After in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Photos tell the truth faster than any claim we could make. Below are real transformations from homes across Fort Lauderdale, from Victoria Park condos to Plantation single-families. Every job started with a written price, ran on Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and finished with before-and-after photos of the customer’s own ducts. That’s the standard we’ve worked to since 2004.

Recent Transformations

Condominium Return Duct, Victoria Park

Before — Victoria Park condo return duct: before (left) and after (right). Dark gray coating is years of dust, pet dander, and humidity-driven buildup.

After — Victoria Park condo return duct: before (left) and after (right). Dark gray coating is years of dust, pet dander, and humidity-driven buildup.

The return side of this 1970s condo had a visible gray film coating the inner walls. Florida humidity had bonded dust and dander into something closer to felt than loose debris. We ran a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the full return run, then followed with Nikro negative-air extraction to pull everything out rather than blow it around. The after photos showed bare metal for the first time in years. The homeowner noticed the difference in one evening: no more musty smell when the AC kicked on.

Dryer Vent Clearance, Sunrise Lakes

Clothes were taking two full cycles to dry, which in a Sunrise Lakes villa usually means one thing: a lint plug. The vent run had compacted lint packed tight, nearly the full diameter. We cleared it with a rotary brush and ran negative-air extraction to confirm flow end to end. Drying time dropped back to one cycle. We flagged this one as a reminder: compacted lint is fuel, and the vent should be checked when dry times creep up, not when smoke appears.

Supply Registers and Trunk Line, Plantation Ranch

Three bedrooms in this Plantation ranch all had registers rimmed with black dust, and the homeowner could see particles in the sunlight through the blinds. We pulled each register, scrubbed the visible surfaces, and ran the rotary brush down the trunk line feeding all three rooms. Negative-air extraction at the far end kept the removed material from drifting back into the living spaces. The result was registers that looked new and noticeably less dust on furniture within a week. This is the job where we often hear, “I didn’t know it could get that clean.”

Post-Renovation Duct Cleanout, Rio Vista

Professional air duct cleaning technician using high-pressure air tool in ventilation system — Rio Vista post-renovation ducts: drywall dust and debris (before) and clean supply runs (after). Renovation dust settles everywhere, including inside ducts.

A kitchen remodel left fine drywall dust across every surface in this Rio Vista home. The ducts had pulled a share of it into the system. We sealed off registers, brushed the supply and return runs, and used a Nikro negative-air machine to capture the dust at the source rather than letting it recirculate. The family had been sweeping the same dust for weeks. After the cleaning, their surfaces held clear, and the filter stopped loading up within days.

Pet Hair and Dander Removal, Coral Ridge

Technician using professional industrial vacuum equipment for residential air duct cleaning services — Coral Ridge home with two dogs: return duct before (left) and after (right). Hair and dander had formed a mat against the duct walls.

Two large dogs in a Coral Ridge house meant the return duct was catching everything the animals shed and everything that settled from it. The before photo showed a mat of hair and dander stuck along the duct floor. A rotary brush broke the mat loose, and negative-air extraction pulled it out in one pass. The homeowner’s son, who’d been sneezing through the night, slept through his first full night in weeks. Duct sealing on the return side followed to close small gaps that had been pulling attic air into the mix.

Duct Sealing After Cleaning, Oakland Park Split-Level

Technician using professional air duct cleaning equipment on a ceiling vent — Oakland Park split-level: leaking duct joint (before) and sealed with mastic (after). Sealing stops conditioned air from escaping into the attic.

After cleaning this split-level’s ducts in Oakland Park, we pressure-tested the system and found leaks at several joints where conditioned air was bleeding into the attic. We sealed each joint with duct mastic, the heavy paste the trade uses rather than tape. The homeowner’s upstairs rooms had never reached the set temperature in summer. After sealing, they held within two degrees of the downstairs. This is the add-on we recommend when leaks are found: cleaning removes the buildup, sealing keeps the system working at the temperature you’re paying for.
