Getting Started
Filters, Scams, Quotes, and Credentials
Answers about filters versus cleaning, avoiding scams, returning dust, free quotes, veteran discounts, service areas, certifications, and commercial service.
Do I need duct cleaning or just a new furnace filter?
A new filter helps, but it cannot remove dust and debris already inside ducts. Visible dust from registers, debris in vents, pest evidence, or recent construction usually means the ductwork itself needs professional cleaning. An inspection confirms it.
How can I avoid air duct cleaning scams?
Be cautious of very low advertised prices, high pressure upselling, and companies that only vacuum vents. Choose a certified, insured company that inspects first, explains pricing clearly, and shows before and after photos. Honest companies welcome questions.
Why does dust come back so quickly after cleaning my house?
Dust that returns within days often comes from dirty ductwork recirculating debris every time the system runs. Cleaning ducts, blowers, and returns reduces that source and helps your housekeeping efforts last much longer. Changing filters regularly also helps.

Working With Us
Dryer Vents, Odors, and Our Approach
Learn about dryer vents, musty odors, combined visits, business hours, before and after photos, Aeroseal sealing, and our locally owned team.
Is dryer vent cleaning needed if my dryer is fairly new?
Yes. Lint builds up in the vent line regardless of the dryer's age, and new dryers can still be connected to old, clogged, or crushed vents. Cleaning protects your new appliance and reduces fire risk.
What should I do about a musty smell coming from my vents?
Musty odors often come from moisture near the coil, drain pan, or ductwork in damp basements and crawl spaces. An inspection identifies the source so cleaning, sanitizing, or moisture repairs can address it properly. Ignoring it rarely helps.
Can air ducts and dryer vents be cleaned during the same visit?
Yes. Many customers schedule both services together, saving time and scheduling only one appointment. Our team completes duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning efficiently while protecting your home throughout the visit. Just mention both when requesting your quote.
What are your business hours?
Our team is available Monday through Sunday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, and we are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Call or send a message anytime, and we will respond promptly to schedule service.
Will I see photos of my ducts before and after cleaning?
Yes. We take before and after photos during every cleaning so you can see the dust, debris, and buildup removed. Many customers are surprised by what was hiding inside their ductwork and dryer vents. Photos also help with records.
Do you offer Aeroseal duct sealing?
Yes. Aeroseal seals leaks from inside the duct system, reaching hidden gaps in walls and ceilings. Computerized measurements show leakage before and after sealing, so you can see the measurable improvement. Most homes are sealed in a day.
Is Advanced Duct Cleaning LLC locally owned?
Yes. We are a locally owned, veteran-operated small business serving Centerville and surrounding communities. Customers work with a dedicated local team that values honesty, discipline, clear communication, and lasting relationships. Owner Scott and our crew treat every home with care.
