Why Renovation Dust Gets Into Your Air Ducts
Drywall sanding, flooring, and demolition can leave fine dust inside returns and duct runs.

Construction dust travels
Drywall sanding, flooring, demolition, and cabinetry work create fine dust that ordinary surface cleaning does not fully remove. Return vents can draw that material into the duct system while work is underway.
When to schedule the inspection
The best time is after dusty construction is complete and before the property is occupied or reopened. Tell the technician which rooms were renovated and whether the HVAC system operated during the work.
What to report
Share the property address, the type of renovation, the completion date, and any visible dust at registers. That information helps define whether the accessible duct system needs cleaning.
