Duct Camera Inspection
Our high-resolution duct camera system lets you see exactly what's inside your ductwork — mold, damage, pest activity, debris, or disconnections — without cutting into walls or ceilings.
What We Offer
A duct camera inspection uses a flexible, waterproof HD camera on a long cable that we insert into your ductwork through existing vents or access points. The live video feed shows the interior condition of your duct system in real time, and we record the footage so you can see exactly what we see. This is the most accurate way to diagnose hidden duct problems and determine what service — cleaning, repair, or replacement — your system actually needs.
Why guess when you can see? Many homeowners are told they need expensive duct cleaning or repairs based on a quick visual check from outside the vent. Our camera inspections go deeper — literally. We snake the camera through your entire duct system to check for mold growth on interior surfaces, pest nests or droppings, collapsed or crushed sections, disconnected joints leaking air into the attic, excessive dust and debris buildup, and water damage or standing moisture.
Camera inspections are especially valuable before buying a home, after water damage or flooding, when you smell musty odors you can't locate, before committing to a full duct cleaning, and when rooms aren't getting adequate airflow. The footage gives you — and us — a clear, honest picture of your duct system's condition before any money is spent on services.
We provide you with a summary of findings along with photos or video clips of any issues discovered. If work is needed, you'll understand exactly why and can make an informed decision. If your ducts look good, we'll tell you that too — we don't sell services you don't need.
What to Expect
Access Point Setup
We identify the best access points — typically supply and return vents — to insert the camera and reach all sections of your duct system without any demolition.
Live Video Inspection
We guide the HD camera through your ductwork while you watch the live feed. We document everything — mold, debris, damage, pest evidence, moisture — and explain what we're seeing in real time.
Findings & Documentation
After the inspection, we provide a clear summary of what we found, including photos or video clips of any issues, so you have a complete record of your duct system's condition.
Honest Recommendations
Based on the footage, we recommend the appropriate next step — whether that's cleaning, repair, sealing, or nothing at all. No pressure, no upselling.
Don't guess about the condition of your ductwork — see it for yourself. Keeping It Cool Heating & Air provides professional duct camera inspections across Kenner, Metairie, New Orleans, and the Greater New Orleans metro. Honest findings, no pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a duct camera inspection cost?
Inspection pricing depends on the size of your system and how many access points are needed. We quote it up front for your approval, and it is often the smartest first step before committing to cleaning or repair work.
How long does a duct camera inspection take?
Most inspections take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the size of your duct system and how many runs need to be checked. We take the time to inspect thoroughly rather than rush through it.
Can a camera inspection find mold in my ducts?
Yes. Mold growth on interior duct surfaces is clearly visible on camera — you'll see it yourself on the live feed. If we identify mold, we'll recommend the appropriate remediation approach, which may include cleaning, fogging, or section replacement depending on severity.
Should I get a camera inspection before duct cleaning?
It's a smart move. A camera inspection tells you exactly how dirty your ducts are and whether cleaning is actually needed. It can also reveal problems that cleaning alone won't fix — like disconnected joints or collapsed sections — saving you from paying for the wrong service.
Do you do camera inspections for home buyers?
Absolutely. A duct camera inspection is an excellent addition to a standard home inspection. It reveals hidden issues that a general home inspector can't see, like mold inside the ducts, pest damage, or ductwork that's been poorly installed or modified.
Will the camera damage my ductwork?
No. The camera is flexible and designed specifically for duct inspection. It navigates bends and joints without damaging your ductwork. We use existing vents as access points, so there's no cutting or modification required.
