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.

The Difference:
Standard shop-vacs: 100-200 CFM (dust gets blown around, not extracted)Mason equipment: 5,000 CFM commercial vacuum with triple filtration (99.9% capture)

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

The Mason Solution

Our WETT-certified technicians specialize in year-round cottage conversions. David Mason holds both WETT Inspector and Installer certifications, allowing us to assess whether your wood-burning system is appropriate for full-time use, identify upgrades needed before problems become insurance claims, and provide the certification documentation your insurance company requires.

For Strong Township and Lake Bernard Properties: We serve the entire area surrounding Sundridge—from the Highway 124 corridor to Bernard Lake waterfront. Our technicians travel Highway 11 regularly, making Sundridge a convenient stop on our Almaguin Highlands service routes.

Complete Cleaning Services for Sundridge & Strong Township

Air Duct Cleaning in Sundridge

Sundridge homes face distinct indoor air quality challenges. Village properties dating to the 1880s and 1890s may have ductwork that's never been professionally cleaned. Lake Bernard cottages accumulate dust and moisture during extended closures. When the heating system fires up, those contaminants circulate throughout your living space. Our 5,000 CFM commercial vacuum system with triple filtration creates genuine negative pressure throughout your entire duct system. Combined with mechanical agitation, we capture 99.9% of dust and debris—not just blow it around.
What's Included:

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sundridge

Lint buildup is the leading cause of residential dryer fires in Canada. In Sundridge, where many dryer vents run through unheated crawl spaces or exterior walls, lint accumulation happens faster—and the fire risk is higher. Our 250 PSI air compressor system with specialized air whips clears the entire vent run from dryer to exterior exhaust, regardless of length or routing configuration.
Warning Signs You Need Service:

Chimney Cleaning & Inspections in Sundridge

Wood heat is a way of life in the Almaguin Highlands. Whether you're heating a heritage home in the village or a converted cottage on Lake Bernard, regular chimney maintenance keeps your system operating safely and efficiently. Properties transitioning from seasonal to year-round use face particular challenges. Systems designed for occasional weekend fires suddenly run continuously through Northern Ontario winters. Creosote buildup accelerates. The chimney that was fine for cottage weekends may not be adequate for full-time heating.
Our Chimney Services Include:
Complete creosote removal from firebox to capFlue liner inspection for cracks or deteriorationSmoke shelf cleaningClearance verification to combustiblesWritten condition reportCap and crown inspectionDamper operation verification

WETT Inspections in Sundridge

WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) certification is the inspection standard recognized by insurance companies throughout Ontario for wood-burning appliances. If you're converting a Sundridge cottage from seasonal to year-round use, your insurance company almost certainly requires WETT certification. David Mason holds both WETT Inspector and Installer certifications. This means we can inspect and certify existing installations, assess whether your system is appropriate for year-round operation, identify upgrades needed before insurance claims become denials, and provide documentation for real estate transactions.
