Air Duct Cleaning for New London's Coastal Connecticut Homes
By Marcus Thompson
New London sits at the mouth of the Thames River where it meets Long Island Sound, giving this historic seaport city a maritime character unlike anywhere else in Connecticut. From the stately homes along Pequot Avenue to the tightly packed Victorian-era residences in the downtown historic district, New London's housing stock reflects centuries of New England history. But that coastal location also means that salt air, elevated humidity, and moisture-related contaminants pose unique challenges to your home's air duct system.
Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on metal ductwork, creating rough interior surfaces where dust, mold spores, and biological growth cling and accumulate faster than in inland homes. Humidity from Long Island Sound promotes condensation inside duct systems, especially during the transitional months of spring and fall when temperature differentials between indoor and outdoor air are greatest. For homes in neighborhoods like Montauk, the Waterfront District, and Winthrop, these conditions can lead to significant mold growth inside ductwork that goes undetected until residents begin experiencing respiratory symptoms.
Professional air duct cleaning addresses these coastal-specific challenges head-on. Our technicians begin with a thorough camera inspection to identify areas of concern, then use high-powered negative-pressure equipment to remove all contaminants from the interior surfaces of your ducts. For New London homes where moisture is a recurring issue, we also apply EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments that inhibit future mold and bacterial growth without introducing harmful chemicals into your air supply.
