Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

How Abatement Technologies Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Abatement Technologies builds filtration and air-cleaning equipment for a specific job, and in New York City, that job usually involves older building stock, tight mechanical rooms, and dust that hasn’t been disturbed since the previous owner moved in. Here’s what we run into on Abatement Technologies systems in New York City, and what we do about it.
- Hepa-Aire and PREDATOR series portable units with clogged pre-filters forcing bypass air. When the pre-filter packs with construction dust or pet dander, air takes the path of least resistance around the filter seal. The camera shows fine particulate staining the clean side of the housing. We clean the housing, replace or clean the pre-filter per manufacturer spec, and verify seal contact with a smoke pencil test.
- CAP series and AQ series ceiling-mounted units with debris loading in the coil and blower wheel. These units pull air from unconditioned spaces in many New York City retrofit installations. Plaster dust from renovation work gets past the return grille and packs onto the evaporator coil. The symptom is reduced airflow and a musty smell when the system starts. We negative-pressure the plenum, brush the coil, and flush the drain pan so condensate stops carrying debris into the ductwork.
- Duct-mounted UV and filtration modules where the duct run itself was never cleaned after installation. Abatement Technologies filtration works best when the downstream ductwork isn’t still shedding construction debris. We’ve documented 2-to-3-inch debris beds at the first elbow past the filter module in buildings where the install crew sealed the duct but never cleaned it. We remove the debris, sanitize the run, and photograph the difference.
- Return-side negative pressure pulling dust through unsealed duct joints in pre-war New York City buildings. Every building built before 1945 leaks. The return plenum in a brownstone or pre-war co-op pulls air through gaps you can’t see from the register. We seal accessible joints with mastic after cleaning, so the air entering your Abatement Technologies unit is actually the air in the room, not the air inside the wall cavity.
- Dirty blower wheels reducing static pressure below what the filtration system needs to perform. Abatement Technologies equipment is designed to operate within a static pressure range. A loaded blower wheel drops airflow, which drops pressure differential across the filter, which drops filtration efficiency. We pull the blower assembly, clean the wheel, and verify amp draw returns to nameplate spec before we call the job done.
Our Abatement Technologies Air Duct Cleaning Process
Every Abatement Technologies job follows the same order of operations, and we don’t skip steps.
- 1
Inspection and documentation. We remove a register or access panel and run the camera through the full run. You see the screen. We note what’s there: dust, debris, mold, rust, dead rodents, construction material.
- 2
Written scope and price. Based on what the camera shows, we write the scope and the flat price. You sign or you don’t. No work starts without signed approval.
- 3
System protection. We seal registers, protect the filtration module, and isolate the air handler so debris doesn’t migrate during cleaning.
- 4
Negative-pressure extraction and mechanical agitation. We connect a professional-grade negative-air machine, typically Rotobrush or Nikro equipment, and run agitation tools through each duct run. Debris is pulled to the collection point, not blown into the room.
- 5
Component cleaning. We clean the coils, blower wheel, plenum, and filter housing as indicated in the written scope. Abatement Technologies filtration modules get particular attention to seal surfaces.
- 6
Post-clean camera verification. We photograph every run again. You see the same angles, before and after. The photo tells you what’s in there. Everything else is just paperwork.

FAQs
No. Cleaning the ductwork connected to an Abatement Technologies system does not void the manufacturer warranty. We never modify the equipment itself; we clean the ducts, plenums, registers, and accessible components. We document everything with photos, so you have a record of exactly what was done. Call (806) 606-6902 if you want to walk through what your warranty covers before scheduling.
You’ll see it. We photograph the inside of every duct run before and after, from the same camera angles, and we deliver that photo record with your job file. If the before photo shows a 3-inch debris bed at the first elbow and the after photo shows the same elbow clean to the metal, that’s the record. The photo tells you what’s in there. Everything else is just paperwork.
Because they’re selling a visit, not a documented result. The industry is full of $79 pitches that turn into $900 invoices once a technician is standing in your living room with a shop vac. We write the price before work starts, every time, in New York City or anywhere else. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll put our number next to it, line by line.
Yes, we clean accessible filtration module housings and seal surfaces on most residential Abatement Technologies systems, following manufacturer maintenance guidance. We don’t modify internal components or bypass safety interlocks. If the module is beyond cleaning or requires replacement parts, we tell you before any work starts and give you the written cost first.
We schedule most New York City Abatement Technologies duct cleaning jobs within 5 to 10 business days. We don’t do same-day promises or urgency theatre. We schedule based on the actual scope of work, and every call is answered by a live person at (806) 606-6902.
