The Challenge of the "Hidden" Fan
If your laundry room is located in the middle of your home (common in Florida condos and ranch-style houses), your vent line likely travels more than 25 feet to reach the outside. To handle this, builders install a Booster Fan inline to help push the moist air out.
Why They Fail:
Since the fan sits inside the exhaust stream, lint constantly passes through its blades.
- Lint Caking: Lint sticks to the fan blades, unbalancing them and causing vibration.
- Motor Burnout: As the blades get heavier with debris, the motor has to work harder to spin, leading to overheating and premature failure.
- The Pressure Switch: The sensor that tells the fan to turn on gets coated in lint and stops detecting airflow, meaning the fan never turns on at all.
Comprehensive Fan Maintenance
We don’t just clean the pipe; we service the mechanical heart of your system.
Our Process:
- Locate & Access: We find the fan (often hidden in the attic or a ceiling access panel) and ensure safe access.
- Disassembly: We open the housing to access the impeller blades.
- Blade Scrubbing: We meticulously scrape and vacuum the caked-on lint from the curved blades to restore aerodynamics.
- Sensor Cleaning: We gently clean the pressure switch so it accurately detects when your dryer starts.
Performance Test: We run the dryer to ensure the booster fan kicks on at the right time and shuts off when the cycle ends.
Protect Your Investment
- Prevent Costly Replacements: A clean fan lasts years longer than a dirty, overheating one.
- Faster Drying: When the booster fan works correctly, moisture is pulled out of your clothes efficiently.
- Quiet Operation: Removing the lint buildup stops the annoying rattling or vibrating noises in your ceiling.
- Fire Safety: A seized motor surrounded by lint is a fire risk we eliminate.
It might be your booster fan calling for help. Let us check it before it burns out.
What types of services do Duct Ninjas provide?
We provide camera inspection, negative air vacuuming, deep roto-brush duct cleaning (our standard service), and EPA approved sanitizing to get rid of and prevent mold and mildew.
How long does it take?
Most single-system homes take 2–4 hours; larger homes or multiple systems take longer. We’ll give you a precise window before we start.
Will my home get dusty?
No. We seal registers, run HEPA filtration, and use drop cloths and shoe covers. Dust goes into our vacuum, not your living space.
Is the sanitizer safe for kids and pets?
Yes—our sanitizer is EPA-registered for HVAC use. People and pets can re-enter once it’s applied and dried (typically 10–30 minutes), and there’s only a light, temporary scent.
What prep do I need to do?
Please clear access to vents, returns, the air handler, and a driveway spot for our vacuum. Put pets in a safe room and make sure an adult is home.
How often should ducts be cleaned?
Every 2-3 years is recommended to prevent mold and musty smell. Or after every dusty renovation.
What our client say about us
4.5
Booked online and they squeezed us in two days. The techs arrived on time, wore shoe covers, and explained everything before starting. They used negative-air machines with HEPA and sealed every vent—no dust left behind. Price was exactly what they quoted (very reasonable). Our house smells fresher and the airflow is noticeably better. Friendly team, super professional. Highly recommend.
I called around and their pricing was the most straightforward. The crew was polite, careful with furniture, and walked me through before/after photos of the ducts and returns. They sanitized with an EPA-approved treatment and were done quicker than expected. Felt safe having them in our home and appreciated how clean they worked. Fantastic value for the quality.
We have two kids and a dog, so cleanliness matters. They scheduled us for the same week, arrived with serious equipment, and kept everything contained—no mess. They found construction debris in the main trunk and got it all out. The techs were friendly, professional, and never pushy. Price was fair and clearly explained. We’re breathing easier already.
I manage several rentals and needed fast turnarounds between tenants. These guys are reliable, communicate well, and send before/after photos for every job. Tenants comment on how respectful and tidy they are. Scheduling is easy, pricing is reasonable, and the results are consistent—clean vents, reduced odors, and happier tenants. Exactly what I need from a professional service.
Booked a duct cleaning and added the dryer-vent service—worth it. The tech showed us the lint clog that had been causing long dry times (and a fire risk). Everything was completed in one visit, on time, and they left the laundry room cleaner than they found it. Friendly, trustworthy pros with fair pricing and fast appointments. We’ll use them again next year.
