Duct inspection by camera in Ottawa and Gatineau

Since 1992, Prop-Air has helped building owners and managers see what the naked eye can’t. A ventilation duct inspection is the essential first step in protecting your occupants’ health and keeping your HVAC systems running efficiently. Using high-definition camera technology, we explore every corner of your duct network to detect dust buildup, mould, and construction debris. Whether you’re in Gatineau or Ottawa, our experienced team delivers a clear visual diagnosis, so you never have to wonder about the state of your indoor air.

Why get an air duct inspection?

L’inspection permet de valider la nécessité d’un nettoyage, déceler toutes anomalies tel qu’un conduit bouché, ou encore déconnecté, ou de confirmer la qualité des travaux effectués. C’est un outil de diagnostic puissant pour identifier les sources d’odeurs suspectes, les pertes de débit d’air ou les infiltrations d’humidité avant qu’elles ne causent des dommages coûteux ou des problèmes de santé.

Our 3-step diagnostic process

Guided by the highest industry standards, our HVAC duct inspection protocol gives you full transparency into the condition of your installations.

1. Robotic or manual exploration

We insert high-resolution endoscopic cameras or motorized robots into your ductwork. This technology lets us navigate bends and vertical sections that would otherwise be completely inaccessible, capturing real-time images of what’s happening inside your system.

2. Air quality assessment

Our experts analyze the footage to identify contaminants such as excessive dust, mould, bacteria, and physical obstructions. We also assess the structural integrity of your ducts, looking for leaks, unsealed joints, and corrosion, to give you a complete picture of your system’s condition.

3. Detailed report and recommendations

After the air duct inspection, we provide you with a full report backed by visual evidence. If we find anything of concern, we’ll recommend the most appropriate corrective action, whether that’s cleaning, disinfection, or duct sealing.
