Below Slab Duct Inspections

Properties with HVAC ductwork built into or beneath concrete slabs are vulnerable to hidden issues like moisture damage, corrosion, pest activity, or age-related wear. Because these systems are difficult to access, problems often go unnoticed until you experience poor air quality, uneven airflow, or rising energy costs.

At Black Mesa Property Inspections, our below-slab duct camera inspections use specialized equipment to reveal the true condition of ducts beneath your home—without invasive demolition. Whether you’re preparing to sell, investigating odors, or concerned about air quality, this service gives you a clear picture of what’s happening below the surface.

What’s Included in a Below Slab Duct Camera Inspection?

Non-Invasive Access – We enter through existing registers or access points to reach the duct system.

Detailed Camera Scope – A flexible scope provides a live, inside view to check for rust, mold, water intrusion, crushed ductwork, pests, or deterioration.

Documented Results – Video and photo evidence are reviewed by the inspector.

Actionable Guidance – Findings are summarized in plain language, with recommendations for next steps if needed.

This inspection is especially valuable for older buildings with slab-on-grade foundations, or properties with noticeable signs of air quality concerns. With clear visuals and expert insight, you’ll gain peace of mind and the knowledge for a reliable plan forward.

Below slab ducts are also vulnerable to mold, moisture, and radon gas infiltration. For this reason, many clients choose to pair this inspection with mold testing and/or radon gas testing.

*Properties with ducts in other locations, such as ceilings, walls or crawl spaces, cannot be scoped.
