Survey to Handover: A Better Process for Commercial Duct Cleaning

Commercial duct cleaning becomes more predictable when it is treated as a defined project rather than a one-night activity.

1. Survey

Understand the facility, system route, operating constraints, contamination indicators and available access.

2. Plan

Convert the survey into a practical scope: work zones, access sequence, team, equipment, protection, timing and handover requirements.

3. Execute

Carry out the work using methods suited to the actual system, with site protection, safe access and disciplined section-by-section cleaning.

4. Verify

Check cleaned sections using visual or camera inspection as appropriate. Verification should answer a simple question: can we show what changed?

5. Handover

Close the job with organised evidence and clear client communication. Record observations outside the cleaning scope for follow-up.

This sequence creates a single accountable process from first visit to final completion.
