Air Duct, Dryer Vent & Chimney Cleaning in Sundridge
Professional cleaning and WETT certification services for Sundridge homes and year-round cottages since 1981. Our 5,000 CFM commercial vacuum systems deliver thorough results for properties throughout the Pearl of the North.
Serving the Pearl of the North Since 1981
Mason Cleaning Systems has been serving Sundridge and the Almaguin Highlands since before many Lake Bernard cottages were built. Whether you’re a year-round resident in the village, a property owner in Strong Township, or converting your seasonal cottage to permanent living, our team delivers professional air duct, dryer vent, and chimney services throughout the area.
Located just 40 minutes south of our North Bay headquarters on Highway 11, Sundridge is a regular stop on our service routes. We understand the unique needs of Almaguin Highlands properties—from heritage homes in the village core to waterfront cottages on Lake Bernard.
For cottage owners converting seasonal properties to year-round use, we provide the WETT inspections and certifications your insurance company requires when usage changes. Our technicians understand the difference between systems designed for occasional weekend use and those running through a full Northern Ontario winter.
Why Our Equipment Matters for Sundridge Properties
Sundridge properties face unique challenges. Many homes in the village date back to the late 1800s when the railway first arrived. Cottages on Lake Bernard may sit closed for months at a time. When these heating systems fire up, whatever has accumulated in the ductwork—dust, pollen, mouse debris, moisture—circulates throughout the living space.
We don’t use consumer-grade shop-vacs. Our 5,000 CFM commercial vacuum system with triple filtration captures 99.9% of dust and debris—creating genuine negative pressure that extracts contaminants from your entire duct system. Combined with mechanical agitation, we remove years of buildup in a single service visit.
Why Sundridge Properties Need Professional Service
Sundridge sits at the northern edge of cottage country, where seasonal retreats increasingly become year-round homes. This transition brings specific challenges—heating systems designed for occasional weekend use suddenly run through eight-month Northern Ontario winters. Insurance requirements change. Chimney systems face higher demands.
The Problem
- Cottages converted to year-round use often have undersized or deteriorating chimney systems
- Insurance companies require WETT certification when property usage changes from seasonal to permanent
- Heritage homes in the village may have original ductwork that hasn’t been cleaned in decades
- Lake Bernard waterfront properties face humidity and moisture challenges
- Extended closures allow dust, pollen, and debris to accumulate in ductwork and vents

FAQ's — Sundridge
Q: Do you charge extra to travel to Sundridge?
A: Our pricing is based on the service plus your location. Sundridge is just 40 minutes from our North Bay headquarters on Highway 11—a regular stop on our Almaguin Highlands routes. Call us for a quote specific to your property.
Q: We're converting our cottage to year-round use. Do we need a WETT inspection?
A: Almost certainly yes. Insurance requirements change when a seasonal property becomes a primary residence. A WETT inspection ensures your wood-burning system meets the new coverage requirements and is appropriate for full-time use.
Q: Our heritage home in the village has never had the ducts cleaned. Can you help?
A: Absolutely. Many Sundridge homes date back to the late 1800s with original ductwork. Our 5,000 CFM system is powerful enough to extract decades of buildup without damaging older systems. We’ll assess your ductwork and recommend the best approach.
Q: How often should we have our chimney cleaned if we're using it full-time?
A: For year-round wood heating, we recommend annual inspection and cleaning—typically in late summer before heating season begins. Cottages using wood heat only for occasional visits may be fine with inspection every 2-3 years, depending on usage.
Q: Do you serve Strong Township and Lake Bernard properties?
A: Yes. We serve the entire area surrounding Sundridge—the Village Centre, Strong Township, Lake Bernard waterfront, Highway 124 corridor, and Joly Township. If you’re within a 2-hour drive of North Bay, we can serve you.
Q: Will duct cleaning make a mess in my home?
A: Never. We seal every register and connect our 5,000 CFM vacuum directly to your trunk line through a sealed access point. All debris is captured in our triple filtration system. Your home stays cleaner than we found it.
Q: How long does a WETT inspection take?
A: A standard WETT inspection takes 60-90 minutes, depending on the complexity of your installation. We inspect the appliance, venting system, clearances to combustibles, and overall condition. You’ll receive a detailed report suitable for insurance submission.
Q: Are you licensed and insured?
A: Yes. We’re fully insured and WSIB registered. David Mason holds WETT Inspector and Installer certifications. We’ve been in business since 1981—your property is in experienced hands.

About The Owner
David Mason, WETT-Certified Inspector & Installer, Serving Northern Ontario Since 1981
At Mason Cleaning Systems Inc., we’re not a franchise or a call center—we’re a family-owned Northern Ontario company built on one purpose: protecting homes and buildings from fire hazards and poor indoor air quality. I’m David Mason, and I founded this company in 1981. For more than 45 years, I’ve worked in attics, crawl spaces, boiler rooms, and rooftops across the Near North. I hold both WETT Inspector and WETT Installer certifications—the credentials your insurance company recognizes for wood-burning appliances. Many companies can sweep a chimney. Very few can legally certify it.
