The most common form of household dust is mold, dirt, pet dander, pet hair and mildew, these are just a few of the many contaminants that could be in the unseen areas of your home air ducts. Recent studies have shown that the indoor air we are breathing is more worse than the polluted outdoor air. The air ducting system from inside is breeding ground for mold and bacteria because of the constant changes in temperature and moisture. These substances sometimes cause an unpleasant living condition, or could lead to health problems for people living. We recommend the use of a quality sanitizer when there is evidence of mold and bacteria growth. We use a specially sanitizer which is designed to kill 99.9% of all mold and bacteria within the duct system while at the same time being completely safe for your home.
Mostly people do not realize the importance of having dryer vents cleaned and properly maintained every year. A plugged dryer vent can cause excessive heat build-up not only within the vent but also within the drying appliance, it will create a situation that could possibly result in a house fire. In addition to dirty vents, there are many things that can result in the following chain of events. These are: Lint build up in the dryer Damaged lint screen Crushed hose which is behind the dryer Problems with the thermostat Another problem that happens regularly is the fact that small birds often find a way into the vent and use that area for nesting, this is highly unsanitary as they carry many germs and parasites, especially in their droppings which eventually accumulate and block off the vent entirely. It should be taken care of. We strongly recommend cleaning and installing a bird barricade to ensure that your dryer vent duct system does not end up as a nesting site.
