Cleaner Air. Safer Home.
Breath Easier while improving indoor air quality, system efficiency, and fire safety.
With over 150 years of combined technician experience and five decades serving Penobscot and Hancock Counties, Penobscot Cleaning Services, Inc. specializes in thorough air-duct and dryer-vent cleaning for residential, multi-family, and commercial properties. Contaminants accumulate in ductwork and vents over time—reducing HVAC efficiency, circulating allergens, and in the case of dryer vents, creating a real fire hazard. Our certified crews use camera inspection when needed to pinpoint blockages or mold, high-power HEPA vacuums and rotary brushes to dislodge and remove debris, and provide clear before/after documentation. Regular duct cleaning improves comfort, lowers energy costs, and helps protect occupants with allergies or respiratory concerns. For landlords and businesses, scheduled maintenance plans keep ventilation systems performing reliably.
When to Clean
Most homes benefit from duct cleaning every 2–4 years. Clean sooner if your household includes pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, occupants with respiratory conditions, or after renovations. Dryer vents should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to reduce fire risk and improve dryer performance. Homes with long dryer runs, multiple-occupant buildings, or frequent lint accumulation may need more frequent service.
Why Choose Us
Local crews. Proven equipment. Transparent pricing. Penobscot Cleaning Services offers trained technicians, documented results, and the kind of careful, courteous work that restores safety and peace of mind—so you can breathe easier in Brewer, Bangor, Mount Desert Island, and throughout Penobscot & Hancock Counties.
Camera Inspection • HEPA Vacuuming • Dryer Vent Fire Prevention
Our duct and vent service pairs visual inspection with aggressive, safe cleaning methods tailored to each system. We clean main trunk lines, branch ducts, return grills, heat-pump coils (when accessible), and dryer exhausts—removing the build-up that compromises airflow and air quality.
Pricing, Turnover & Commercial Programs
We offer flat-rate dryer-vent cleaning, per-vent pricing for typical residential systems, and custom quotes for whole-house or commercial ductwork. Recurring maintenance programs are available for rentals, multi-unit buildings, and businesses to keep ventilation pathways clear on a schedule that fits usage and risk factors.
Thorough Duct & Vent Cleaning Process
Step by Step:
Pre-inspection & camera survey
We inspect ductwork and vents, map the system layout, identify blockages, and check for visible mold growth, pest activity, or heavy contamination.
Containment & source control
Work areas are isolated, access points are sealed as needed, and finishes are protected to prevent dust migration during cleaning.
Mechanical agitation & brushing
Rotary brushes and controlled agitation loosen accumulated dust, pollen, pet dander, and debris from duct walls and branch lines.
HEPA vacuum extraction
High-capacity HEPA vacuums capture and remove dislodged contaminants from the system, preventing redistribution into living spaces.
Dryer vent lint removal
Lint traps, interior vent runs, and exterior exhausts are cleared to restore airflow, improve dryer efficiency, and reduce fire risk.
Post-clean inspection & documentation
We verify cleanliness, provide before-and-after photos or video when camera inspections are used, and recommend repairs or maintenance intervals as needed..
