DIY Network Disaster House!

Ductworks was on DIY Network's new series Disaster House yesterday!

Disaster House is a show where contractor Josh Temple takes destruction to a whole new level as he wrecks a house every week. Using exciting experiments to accelerate the wear and tear every home faces the DIY Network delivers resourceful home improvement solutions.

The Disaster team dropped a Grand Piano onto the house from an 80-foot-high crane to mimic tree destruction, simulated years of wall damage with an indoor roller derby, filled the basement with enough water to scuba dive through it, catapulted a lawn mower through the fence...

They built a 5000 pound, six foot tall sand castle in the living room that they blew up with black powder - to show an extreme case of dirty air ducts... whew... what a job!

Josh and the Disaster Team were a lot of fun to work with.

The show premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 6!

Construction Debris

One of the most beneficial times to clean your air ducts is after new home construction or a home remodel.

Often times after remodeling or building your home you will find a fine layer of construction debris on your horizontal surfaces or have an acrid odor every time the furnace comes on. This is due to the build up of construction debris within your air ducts.

New home construction and home remodel debris account for the majority of debris found within the ventilation system. When the home is constructed a large amount of construction debris is swept and drawn into the air ducts such as drywall, sawdust, carpet fibers, insulation and other construction materials. This debris can remain in your air duct system for years causing the debris to re-circulate in your home, and in some cases block the air flow within the air ducts.

Home builders will typically install a fiberglass filter to prevent larger debris from entering the furnace cabinet and damaging it mechanically. While these types of filters will prevent larger debris from entering the supply air ducts, they are ineffective at protecting the air ducts, furnace components or air conditioning coils from fine construction debris.

Its always a good idea to have the air ducts cleaned when a home construction or home remodel project is complete.
