Unusual things found during ductwork cleanings

I’ve been working with my mom recently at the a/c and heating supplier she’s been working for, and I didn’t think my Mom loved being an air conditioner worker as much as I do now that I’ve seen him do the work on a regular basis.

It’s entirely not all glitz and glamor to work as a serviceman though.

Yesterday the we had a work to disinfect the air ducts of a pretty old home. I don’t think the owners have been living there for quite some time, so this was just routine maintenance that was already part of their maintenance plan they had set up with the last serviceman that worked on it. I knew the air ducts were going to be gross because there was a wicked smell that came from the air vent right when the we walked into the house. The air ducts were filled with dead rats and mice, and lots of dead cockroaches as well! We recommended they call an exterminator or some genre of pest control repair to make sure those creatures stay away and out of the air ducts. I hope they took our advice because that was honestly the worst home I’ve seen since entirely working with my Mom. I think moments like that make her feel embarrassed about what he does, but I don’t think one instance like that should give an entire opinion about the job itself. I’m entirely proud of her and enthusiastic to continue working with her. I’m even thinking that this could be a work path for me as well.
