When a client is not satisfied with the cleanliness of the air ducts after the cleaning and visual inspection, the next step an ASCS should recommend is a NADCA Vacuum Test. This test is a standard method recommended by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to measure the cleanliness of the ductwork. It provides a quantifiable way to determine if the ducts are clean according to industry standards, rather than relying on a visual inspection alone.
