Boston’s pre-war homes often hide brick-lined air ducts behind plaster walls, spaces where decades of dust, mold spores, and insulation fragments accumulate undisturbed. Our process uses soft-bristle brushes and low-pressure air to dislodge debris without disturbing fragile masonry, then vacuums it out through HEPA filtration. We inspect for cracked liners or mortar gaps that could leak allergens into living spaces, documenting findings with photos so you know exactly what’s been addressed. Unlike generic duct cleaners, we treat each brick seam and mortar joint with the care it deserves, no aggressive scraping that risks damaging century-old craftsmanship.

Our technicians use rotary brushes sized for brick flues, paired with industrial vacuums to capture soot before it re-enters your home. We check for glazed creosote, which signals a chimney fire risk, and recommend relining if the flue’s integrity is compromised. This isn’t just cleaning; it’s fire prevention for homes where a chimney’s condition directly impacts safety and comfort.

Our HEPA-vacuum extraction removes 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, including mold spores that thrive in the city’s damp summers. We treat accessible ductwork with an EPA-approved antimicrobial solution to prevent regrowth, then seal gaps in masonry liners to block future infiltration. Ideal for homes with allergy sufferers or pets, this service restores air purity without harsh chemicals that could damage historic finishes.

We deploy negative-air machines to extract particles before they coat your new hardwood floors or settle in HVAC coils. Our technicians also check for displaced ductwork that may have shifted during construction, ensuring your newly renovated space breathes clean air from day one. A critical step for homes where every renovation detail matters.

We measure airflow at each register, adjust dampers to eliminate hot/cold spots, and recommend zoning solutions to match your home’s quirks. For homes with original ductwork, we identify restrictions like collapsed sections or crushed pipes that force systems to overwork. The result? Lower energy bills, even temperatures, and relief for systems straining under modern demands, without replacing century-old infrastructure.
Request this service →A backed-up flue after a Nor’easter or a rodent nest in your ducts after a mild winter can turn a cozy Boston home into a health hazard overnight. Our emergency team arrives within hours to remove blockages, sanitize contaminated sections, and restore safe airflow. We document damage for insurance claims and provide a same-day report with remediation steps. For homes where time is critical, we’re the only local service that combines rapid response with the precision older masonry demands.
