Not the cheapest quote, and not the vendor who cleans what shows and leaves the duct run. <strong>The system gets cleaned end to end<\/strong>, and you get a dated report with photographs before the truck leaves \u2014 because the day you need that report is the day nobody has time to go looking for it.<\/p>\n<p>Orange County makes that harder than it sounds. Twenty-three cities sit with the Orange County Fire Authority, ten more run their own fire departments, your health permit comes from the OC Health Care Agency, and a grease interceptor brings in your city\u2019s sewer program as a fourth authority.
