Upper Arlington is a community defined by its history — and that history can often be found hiding inside your ventilation. In the South of Lane and Old Arlington districts, many homes feature original metal ductwork that has been in service for over half a century. These systems frequently harbor decades of settled dust, pet dander, and allergens that impact modern comfort in ways that are invisible until someone opens the system and looks.

At the same time, UA is uniquely positioned between two of the largest healthcare and research expansion projects in Ohio — the $1.9 billion OSU Inpatient Tower and the $600 million OhioHealth Women's Center at Riverside Methodist Hospital. The industrial particulates from these projects drift directly into UA's residential air intakes, creating a modern air quality challenge on top of the historic one.

Clean Air Pros specializes in exactly this balance — the delicate preservation of historic ductwork combined with advanced remediation of modern construction particulates. We use specialized variable-speed agitation tools gentle enough for 50-year-old metal ducts, paired with commercial-grade HEPA extraction powerful enough to purge institutional silt from your system completely.

Upper Arlington, OH — Post-Remodel

"New to Me" — What a Gorgeous UA Remodel Was Hiding Inside

Upper Arlington homes carry history. When a beautifully remodeled UA property changes hands, the new owners are inheriting everything the home has collected over decades — including whatever is inside the ductwork. This is one of those stories.

The home had been meticulously renovated — the kind of UA remodel that respects the original architecture while updating everything inside. The new owners called us before moving in. Smart decision.

When we opened the system, we found what UA historic homes consistently yield: decades of compacted debris, original metal ductwork that had never been professionally serviced, and some interesting items that had found their way in over the years. The before photos tell the story clearly.

We extracted everything — carefully, thoroughly, with the specialized variable-speed tools that UA's original ductwork demands. The new owners moved into their dream home knowing the air they breathe is as clean as the renovation that inspired them to buy it.

✅ Full extraction completed on original UA ductwork. New homeowners moved in with verified clean air. Before & after photos documented every vent.

Why Before & After Photos Matter

We take high-resolution photos of every vent before we start and after we finish. You see exactly what came out of your system. If a company won't show you before and after photos — that's your answer.

⚠️ The Blow & Go Warning

Upper Arlington, OH — Neighboring Home

The Neighbor Who Had to Pay Twice.

A few days after we finished the remodel job above, the phone rang. It was the neighbor next door — a UA homeowner who had hired a different company to clean their ducts just weeks earlier.

They were still smelling odors. Still noticing dust. Something wasn't right. So they called us to take a look.

The photo to the left is what we found. Every vent had similar substance and debris just sitting there — completely undisturbed, taking up space rent-free. The other company had performed what the industry calls a "blow and go" — show up, run a vacuum near the vents, collect payment, and leave. The dirt moves around. It doesn't come out.

That UA homeowner had to pay twice to get the result they thought they'd already purchased. It's a painful lesson — and it's exactly why we provide before and after photos on every single job. Not a verbal assurance. Not a handshake. Visual proof that we didn't just move dirt around — we removed it.

If someone cleaned your ducts and you're still noticing odors or dust, call us. We'll show you what's still in there.

✅ We completed the job correctly. Full extraction, documented before & after. UA homeowner finally got the result they'd paid for — the first time, with us.

The OSU & Riverside Construction Challenge

Institutional Silt. It's Real. It's in Your Ducts.

Upper Arlington is uniquely positioned between two of the largest healthcare construction projects in the nation: the $1.9 billion OSU Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Tower and the $600 million OhioHealth Women's Center at Riverside Methodist Hospital. While these projects are transformative for Central Ohio healthcare, they have fundamentally changed the local air quality environment for UA residents.

The scale of demolition, concrete pouring, and high-intensity earthwork along the Olentangy River corridor releases a persistent flow of fine, abrasive particulates into the atmosphere. For UA homeowners — especially those in Goldenview and North of Lane — this "Institutional Silt" is pulled directly into your home's HVAC intake. Unlike standard household dust, it acts like sandpaper on your blower motor and heat exchanger with every cycle.

At Clean Air Pros, we've developed a Major-Expansion Remediation protocol specifically for UA homeowners — combining commercial-grade HEPA air scrubbing with our NADCA-certified extraction process to purge these heavy construction particulates completely. UA's progress shouldn't come at the expense of your indoor air quality or your HVAC system's lifespan.

🏗️

$2.5B in Adjacent Construction

The combined OSU Wexner and OhioHealth Riverside projects represent over $2.5 billion in active construction along the Olentangy corridor — the most significant construction activity directly adjacent to a residential neighborhood in Columbus history.

🔬

Abrasive Silica — Not Standard Dust

Institutional silt from concrete and demolition work contains fine silica particles that standard residential vacuums cannot capture. Our commercial-grade HEPA filtration traps particles down to 0.3 microns — the size of the most damaging construction particulates.

🛡️

HVAC System Preservation

UA homeowners near the construction corridors should plan for more frequent cleaning (every 2–3 years) and monthly filter changes during peak construction periods. The cost of an extraction is significantly less than a blower motor replacement.

Northam Park and Fancyburg area Upper Arlington — pollen and organic drift duct cleaning

Northam & Fancyburg Park Corridors

UA's lush green corridors near Northam and Fancyburg parks generate a significant volume of seasonal pollen and organic drift — one of the hallmarks of living in UA's canopy neighborhoods. Over time, these allergens settle as a thick biological layer in your ductwork. We recommend a deep-clean every 3–5 years for park-adjacent UA homes.

Pollen & Organic Drift Specialist

Tremont Road Corridor

The Tremont Road corridor sits at the intersection of UA's historic character and its most active modern development zone. Homes here face a dual challenge — older ductwork systems that need careful preservation, combined with elevated institutional silt loads from nearby medical center construction. We address both simultaneously.

★★★★★

Historic Home · South of Lane

"Our South of Lane home has original ductwork from the 1950s. I was nervous about anyone cleaning it — previous companies either said they couldn't do it or didn't do it right. Clean Air Pros used specialized equipment designed for older systems and showed us before and after photos of every vent. The musty smell we'd lived with for years is simply gone."

★★★★★

Post-Remodel · Upper Arlington

"We bought a renovated UA home and called Clean Air Pros before moving in. The before photos were alarming — decades of buildup in the original ductwork plus construction dust from the remodel. The after photos showed a completely clean system. This is the only company in Columbus I've found that actually proves the job was done."

Construction Dust · Goldenview

"We live near the Riverside construction and noticed our filters were getting dirty faster than ever. Clean Air Pros explained the institutional silt issue and what it does to your HVAC. After the cleaning and remediation treatment, the difference in filter life and air quality was noticeable within weeks. Finally a company that understands what's happening in this neighborhood."

Upper Arlington Homeowner Questions

Upper Arlington FAQs

How do you safely clean the original metal ductwork in South of Lane and Old Arlington homes?+

Historic homes require a delicate touch to avoid structural damage. We use specialized, variable-speed agitation brushes that are powerful enough to extract decades of "old house" allergens but gentle enough to maintain the integrity of 50+ year-old ventilation systems. This approach permits safe, thorough air duct cleaning without risking damage to your original ductwork — the kind of damage that high-speed standard equipment causes in older systems. We've cleaned hundreds of Central Ohio historic homes and have never damaged an original duct run.

Does the construction at OSU Wexner Medical Center and Riverside Hospital actually impact my indoor air?+

Yes — and significantly for UA homes near the Olentangy River corridor. These multi-billion dollar projects release "Institutional Silt" — fine, abrasive particulates including silica and concrete dust — into the surrounding atmosphere. This dust travels directly into UA air intakes and settles in your ductwork, acting like sandpaper on your HVAC's internal components if not professionally removed. UA homeowners near Goldenview and North of Lane should plan for more frequent cleaning during peak construction periods and monthly filter changes at minimum. Professional air duct cleaning regularly removes the debris before it causes permanent mechanical damage.

Can your equipment handle the unique HVAC layouts of large UA estates?+

Absolutely. Many Upper Arlington properties feature complex, retrofitted systems or multiple air handlers added over decades of renovation. Our high-capacity HEPA extraction units are specifically designed to maintain maximum suction across the intricate and often narrow duct runs found in UA's most iconic stone and brick estates. If other companies have told you your system is too complex to service properly — call us. We've successfully serviced systems throughout UA that others couldn't complete.

How does the heavy tree canopy in parks like Northam and Fancyburg affect my ducts?+

UA's lush greenery is one of the defining characteristics of the community — but it creates a significant volume of seasonal pollen and organic drift that settles as a thick biological layer in your ductwork over time. The Central Ohio allergy season runs from February tree pollen through October ragweed, and park-adjacent UA homes experience elevated concentrations throughout. We recommend a deep-clean every 3–5 years for UA homes near the Northam and Fancyburg park corridors to keep indoor air as fresh as the neighborhood looks from the outside.

How do I know a duct cleaning was actually done correctly?+

This is the most important question a UA homeowner can ask — and the blow-and-go story from the neighboring home shows exactly why. The answer: before and after photos. Every single vent, every single job. We provide high-resolution documentation of what we found and what we removed. If the company you're considering won't show you before and after photos of your specific system — that's your answer. Don't pay twice for the same job.

How is pricing determined for UA homes?+

Duct cleaning starts at $299 for a standard UA home and is priced based on your specific home's square footage and vent count — not a flat rate. Historic South of Lane homes with original ductwork, large multi-zone estates, and homes requiring the Major-Expansion Remediation protocol are quoted accordingly. We give you a confirmed price before any work begins — the price we quote is the price you pay. Dryer vent cleaning is $150 standalone, or $75 when bundled (total $374).
