Did addition work contaminate a defined part of the air system?
An addition can introduce debris where ducts were open during work. Document where dust or construction material entered the system, then ask whether inspection supports cleaning and which components need attention.
Record open air paths, dusty activities, equipment use during work, and current visible deposits. Explain whether construction is finished or still producing debris.

Assessment and Scope
Questions for the Proposed Work
01
Prevent further entry
Ask how ongoing work will protect ducts and air-handling components. Cleaning too early may leave the system exposed to the same construction source.
02
Inspect the affected components
The proposed boundary should follow evidence rather than only the number of new registers. Ask about relevant ducts, fan, and coil concerns where contamination reached them.
03
Document final condition
Agree collection methods, access restoration, and completion evidence. Optional treatments require a stated purpose and suitability for the actual material.
Compare the next step
Evaluate a cleaning scope after source control and inspection. Ordinary renovation activity is context for assessment, not automatic proof that every duct in the property requires a paid cleaning package.
Routine cleaning is not automatically necessary and does not guarantee health or energy benefits. Resolve moisture sources and assess damaged materials rather than treating cleaning as the only remedy.
