To start off we bring in 8" vacuum tubes that connects to the powered vac system. We cut a 8" hole in the duct-work,near the furnace, first on the return side. The vacuum tube is then attached over the hole. All of the returns throughout the home are covered with magnets, helping to create a seal while the vacuum is running. Next we use an airline hose with directional airflow and a whip on the end that gets inserted into each individual vent. 180 psi pushes through the whips dislodging anything built up in your ducts. While the whip is dislodging the debris the directional airflow is pushing any buildup back to the vacuum that is pulling air at 10,000cfm. The same steps are repeated for your supplies.
