Air Duct Cleaning
Your indoor air is worse than outdoor air.
Do you ever experience fatigue, headaches, respiratory problems, or irritation of your eyes, nose, and throat after spending time indoors? You may be surprised to learn that the air quality inside your home can be worse than outdoor air. Poor indoor air quality can be caused by many things, from mold and dust mites to chemicals from building materials, cleaning products, and air fresheners.
Studies have shown that indoor air quality can contain up to 5-10 times more pollutants than outdoor air. This means your home could contain various airborne toxins that can cause health problems. For example, if mold grows in your home, air quality testing can detect mold spores and other allergens that can cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Even if you try to keep your home clean, dust mites, pet hair, and other irritants may still exist.
If you want to improve the quality of the air in your home, there are several steps you can take. Cleaning of carpets and upholstery are essential for maintaining good hygiene and keeping contaminants at bay, in addition to vacuuming. Vacuuming carpets and furniture regularly can help reduce household dust, while installing an air purifier or an air filter system can remove pollutants and irritants from your home’s air. Air duct cleaning may be an effective way to help you reach your desired outcome. It would be best to look for ways to reduce the use of chemical-based cleaning products and air fresheners instead of natural, non-toxic cleaning options.
It’s essential to be aware of the air quality in your home and take steps to improve it. Poor air quality can lead to breathing problems, allergies, and even chronic illnesses, so it’s vital to take action as soon as possible to ensure you and your family breathe clean, healthy air.

This demonstrates the air duct cleaning job we have successfully carried out. Here is an example of what your return vents may look like if improperly maintained.
“Duct systems accumulate a significant amount of household dust and if the accumulation builds up, the dust may be re-circulated back into the living space, requiring more frequent dusting and cleaning around the home.”
Method of Air Duct Cleaning
There are two proper ways to clean air ducts: using a brush vacuum method. This method involves 35’ (feet) long hoses with brush heads ranging from 4" to 30" (inches) in size. This removes dust and debris from home or small business vent lines.

Allergens and Contaminants in your Home and Office:
At home or in the office, allergens and contaminants can present a severe health hazard. Exposure to allergens and contaminants could cause various issues, such as allergic reactions, skin rashes, respiratory problems, etc. Unfortunately, allergens and contaminants can often go undetected in our home and office environments. That’s why it’s essential to be aware of common allergens and contaminants and take steps to minimize their risk.
Some common allergens found in homes and offices include dust mites, animal dander, cockroach droppings, mold, and pollen. These allergens can pose severe problems for those with asthma or allergies. Dust mites, for example, emit an allergen that can trigger asthma and hay fever symptoms. Allergens can come in through open windows or get stuck in carpets and furniture upholstery.
Contaminants such as lead, asbestos, radon, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can also be present in homes and offices. Lead is a neurotoxin found in certain paints and water systems and can cause severe health issues if ingested. Asbestos is a mineral found in construction materials and can cause lung cancer if inhaled. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer if ingested. Finally, VOCs can be found in paint and furniture finishes and could cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea if inhaled.
Fortunately, there are steps we can take to minimize the risk of allergens and contaminants in our homes and offices. For example, using an air purifier can help remove allergens and other airborne particles from the air. Regularly vacuuming and dusting, especially in carpets, can also help reduce allergens. Inspecting paint and building materials for lead and asbestos and testing for radon is also essential.
By being aware of the allergens and contaminants that may be present in our homes and offices, we can take the necessary steps to reduce their risk and protect our health.
