What’s hiding your Waukesha air ducts?!
Throughout the years of living in your home, dust, debris, allergens, and other contaminants build up in your cold air return when your furnace
cycles on. During this process, it not only pulls in air but also sucks in dust, debris, pet dander, hair, construction debris, and other airborne allergens. Your furnace filter stops most of it from getting into your supply vents, but over time, it gets through.
Changing your filter every 3 to 4 months is important to keep the debris out of your expensive furnace. Air duct cleaning is the process of removing all the debris out of both your return and supply vents so you and your family are breathing healthy air.
It’s time to get your air ducts cleaned if:
- It’s been 5-7 years since your last cleaning
- New home purchase
- Recent construction
- Allergies are bad
- Changing filters every month
- Vent covers are constantly covered in dust
The biggest fire hazard in your home is your dryer vent!
Totally Clean removes a lot of built-up lint in dryer vents around the City of Waukesha. Due to the age of homes and how the dryer vents are constructed, we often find that these vents are either neglected or improperly constructed. This causes large lint build-ups. Not getting your dryer vent cleaned every year increases the risk of dryer fires and unnecessary wear and tear on your dryer. If it takes a long time to dry your laundry, then your dryer is working extra hard. Therefore, your bills will be higher each month, and you will be replacing your dryer sooner than you need to!
Look for these signs if you suspect you need a dryer vent cleaning:
- Damp clothes after a full cycle.
- Clothes get very hot to touch.
- The dryer keeps turning off before the cycle finishes.
- A red warning light comes on, indicating a blockage.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning: Condos, Apartments, Retail
Are you a property manager or property owner? Don’t forget you are liable if a dryer fire happens in your Waukesha commercial building. This is something that should not be neglected if you own a commercial building. It is the responsibility of the building owner to get residents dryer vents cleaned. Ask your insurance company if they will give you a discount for taking care of this hazard every year. Totally Clean can set you up with a yearly contract to make this easier for you!

Project Description
Peggy Worthenger from Waukesha called Totally Clean because they were experiencing severe allergies and dust when the furnace kicked on in the winter. With Wisconsin being known for its cold and dry winters, the Worthenger family was suffering from severe allergies due to the high levels of contamination in their ductwork.
Their home was built in the 1930s, and the ducts were only cleaned once before they moved in 10 years ago. Since then, they have raised children and pets in this home located near N. Grand Ave & E. Park Ave. Pets and children tend to put objects where they don’t belong, and in this case, a lot of toys, dog food, and pet dander were present in the HVAC system.
Upon inspection, we found a very high level of pet hair, dust, and pet food in their ducts. It also appeared that the last company that cleaned the vents in this 2300-square-foot home also cut some corners. The ducting shouldn’t have been this dirty after 10 years, and the relics we also found shouldn’t have been there after the last cleaning.
Project Challenges
Since the home was built in the 1930s, the air ducts were covered in asbestos, and we had to find parts of the ducting that didn’t have asbestos so we didn’t disturb it. The other challenge was fishing out large chunks of plaster from the return vents and the difficulty working in a closet in which the furnace was located.
- Asbestos On Air Ducts
- Furnace Located in Closet
- Chunks of Plaster in Return Vents
What We Found Inside
We found a lot of exciting objects inside this bungalow home near Canon Memorial Park. The supply vents throughout the house had insects, mouse droppings, toys, dog food, lots of dust, and pet hair.
- Pet Hair
- Soda Cans From the 70's
- Dog Food & Kid Toys
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Peggy also hadn’t cleaned her dryer vent in nearly five years, so she hired Totally Clean to clean the lint out of this pipe. The laundry unit was located in the basement and terminated to the home’s exterior above the basement window.
- Clogged Dryer Vent
- Packed With Lint
- Dryer Vent Was Cracked & Leaking
Results & Recommendations
This air duct cleaning job took us 3 1/2 hours to complete from start to finish. Usually, we would have cleaned these ducts quicker, but this home presented some challenges. We took multiple before & after pictures of this duct cleaning job, and the customer was thrilled. After we were done, the supply and return vents were spotless, and we removed a ton of dust and pet hair. Peggy even let us keep some of the incredible relics we found inside the vent since we like to collect vintage-era objects.
Once the job was complete, we packed up our duct cleaning equipment and changed out the furnace filter. Peggy stated that she had already noticed a difference in the smell of her home and the dust floating around the air. The air quality and Worthenger’s allergies significantly improved.
We recommended that they have their air ducts cleaned every 5-7 years based on the level of dust that accumulated in their ducting. To help their respiratory issues, we also recommended that they purchase a few air purifiers and have a bypass humidifier installed onto the furnace. The reason for the humidifier is to put some more moisture in the air so their allergies improve.
- Improved Air Quality
- Allergies Improved
- Less Dust Circulated Throughout Home
