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.

  Had two gentleman come today to do duct clean/laundry vent cleaned out. They were very friendly and professional, as someone who is interested in how it all works they were  walking me through the steps and explained what they were doing  as well as the before and after pictures right in front of me. Very please with the work completed and transparency! The customer service lady on the phone was very professional and communication was very good  from booking over a month ago to the follow up reminder to check in if the appointment still worked. Highly recommend!

  Prop-air is a long established company in Gatineau. I have seen their trucks for years, so I thought I would use their service to clean & maintain our split heat pump/air conditioner. The bilingual technician (Ludovic) was very courteous and professional. He was attentive to my questions and provided helpful advice to enhance the reliability of our system. Thank you Prop-air.

Frequently asked questions about air duct inspection services

How long does an air duct inspection take?

For a standard home, the inspection typically takes one to two hours. For commercial or industrial buildings, the time varies depending on the complexity and total length of the duct network.

Is an inspection necessary before every cleaning?

We strongly recommend it. It confirms whether cleaning is actually needed and helps us focus on the areas that matter most. That way, you get full transparency and you’re not paying for work your ducts don’t need.

Will I receive the inspection footage?

Yes. Transparency is at the core of how we work at Prop-Air. You’ll receive a report that includes screenshots or clear video footage showing the interior condition of your ducts, so you can see the results for yourself.

Can you detect structural problems with the camera?

Absolutely. Beyond air quality concerns like dust and mould, our air duct camera inspection can identify disconnected ducts, poorly sealed joints, corrosion, and rodent damage. It’s a complete technical diagnostic tool.

Is a duct inspection messy for my building?

Not at all. Our cameras are designed to travel through the ductwork without disturbing dust or pushing it into your living or working spaces. The whole process is clean, quiet, and won’t interrupt your daily routine, whether you’re at home or in the office.
