Safety & Compliance

How we keep your family, home, and our techs safe.

Last updated: May 28, 2026

Eagle works inside hundreds of Maryland homes a year. Safety isn't a marketing line — it's the standards we work to, the chemicals we use (and refuse to use), and the paperwork we sign every day. Here's everything in one place.

Your family

Every Eagle technician is W-2 employed (no day-labor subs), background-checked, drug-screened, and arrives in uniform driving a marked vehicle. We carry MHIC, DC General Contractor, and general liability insurance — certificates available before booking on written request.

We never use products inside your home that aren't on the EPA's registered antimicrobials list. We document carbon monoxide readings on every furnace visit. We don't enter spaces we can't safely exit.

Your home

We protect floors, furniture, and registers during the job. Anything we move, we replace. Anything we discover (pre-existing damage, suspected mold beyond duct cleaning scope, asbestos-containing ductwork) we stop, photograph, and tell you before continuing. The IAQ Lab Report is your independent paper trail — a sealed pre/post sample, lab-analyzed, mailed to you.

Our technicians

Eagle follows OSHA general industry standards for our crews:

  • Respiratory protection (N95 minimum; P100 in mold-suspect work)
  • Eye protection (ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses) during all cleaning
  • Hearing protection in extended HEPA vacuum operation
  • Ladder safety per OSHA 1910.23 — second tech required for roof-vent dryer cleanings
  • Lockout/tagout when HVAC equipment is opened for service

What we use — and don't

We use:

  • EPA-registered, NADCA-recommended antimicrobials (when requested or post-mold)
  • Plant-based pre-treatments for carpet/upholstery
  • Hot-water extraction (water + low-pH detergent) for carpet/upholstery
  • Compressed air, brushes, and HEPA vacuums for duct cleaning — mechanical, not chemical

We do not use:

  • Bleach or chlorine inside HVAC systems (corrodes coils, lingers as fumes)
  • Ozone generators ("shock treatments") — controversial and risky
  • Non-EPA-registered "essential oil" fogs
  • Any product without an SDS we can show you

Carbon monoxide (CO) safety

Cracked heat exchangers leak CO into your supply air — invisible, odorless, deadly at 800+ ppm. Every Eagle furnace cleaning includes calibrated CO measurement at the supply register. We document the reading on your invoice. If we measure anything above 9 ppm sustained, we shut the furnace down and tell you why before we leave. We are not licensed HVAC repair contractors; we will refer you to one if needed.

Fire safety (dryer vents)

Per the US Fire Administration (FEMA), clogged dryer vents cause approximately 2,900 home fires per year. We clean to NFPA-211 standard and document airflow before and after on every dryer vent job. For multi-unit buildings, we provide per-unit code-compliance reports owners can submit to insurance.

Illness / post-COVID protocol

For households recovering from illness or pets exposed to disease, we offer EPA-registered antimicrobial fog after a duct cleaning. The same EPA-List-N antimicrobials used during COVID are used here. The fog requires you to be out of the house for 30–60 minutes while it dries. Pets and immune-compromised family members should be out for the full window.

Pets & allergies

We are pet-friendly but ask that dogs be in a separate room while we work. The HEPA vacuum is loud and we handle a lot of dust. We never apply chemical antimicrobials in a pet's resting space without your explicit consent. For severe allergy households, we recommend leaving the house during the job and returning 30 minutes after we leave for full air exchange.

Children at home

Kids should be in a different room during the cleaning. Our equipment is loud; some equipment has hoses and cords; the work area is not safe for play. Once we're done and the antimicrobial fog (if used) has fully dried, the home is safe for normal activity.

Insurance & licensing

  • MHIC #117311 — Maryland Home Improvement Commission, current and in good standing
  • DC General Contractor #410523000438
  • General liability insurance — certificate available on written request
  • Workers compensation insurance — required by Maryland law, current
  • EPA-compliant disposal of waste materials (sealed bags, licensed disposal partner)

Incident reporting

If something goes wrong on a job — property damage, injury, equipment malfunction — we document, photograph, and report it the same day. We have not had a homeowner injury claim filed against us in our 14 years of operation. If anything ever happens, we will tell you immediately, fix it, and learn from it.

Report a safety concern

If you've worked with us and you have a safety concern — anything from a technician's behavior to a missed CO reading to a product we used — please reach out directly to the owners:
