What is the purpose of a duct cleaning visual inspection?

The purpose of a duct cleaning visual inspection is to assess contamination levels and identify cleaning needs. Through this inspection, a technician can look for visible signs of debris, dust, mold, or other contaminants that have accumulated in the ductwork. By examining these areas, the technician is able to gauge the extent of the contamination and the overall condition of the duct system, which informs the necessary steps for effective cleaning.

Understanding the contamination levels directly impacts the cleaning strategy to be implemented, ensuring that the specific needs of the system are met. This assessment is crucial for the technician to establish whether the ductwork requires a thorough cleaning and to diagnose any additional issues that may need to be addressed during the cleaning process.
