The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that Indoor Air Quality has deteriorated to the point where the air inside our homes may be five to ten times more polluted than outside air! Regular inspection and cleaning of air ducts greatly reduces these problems traced to dust and air contaminants from dirty air ducts…

• They are a major source for allergies and the discomfort they bring: sneezing, coughing, eye tearing, and skin rashes.
• They can trigger asthma attacks.
• They can aggravate respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD).
• They can threaten the health of anyone with a compromised immune system.

What is Entering and Contaminating Air Ducts?

Air ducts pick up lots of debris that contribute to poor indoor air quality. Even worse, they recirculate dirty air, making the problem worse. Here are a few examples of how this happens

Moisture

Excess moisture from several sources accumulates in homes with poor ventilation further aggravated by dirty air ducts. This can quickly lead to indoor air contamination. Here are few examples of how moisture can build up:

• Insufficient ventilation in bathrooms and/or kitchens
• Air conditioners that have not had at least yearly cleaning and maintenance
• Dirty humidifiers and filters
• Mold can easily sprout inside these environments, particularly in high humidity regions.

Smoke and Particulates

Smoke and the particulates it emits are another source of indoor air contamination. This comes from fireplaces, wood stoves, and dirty furnaces. Gas space heaters in rooms with poor ventilation are another sources. Even candles can contribute to polluted indoor air. Tobacco products are well-documented sources for chemical contaminants as well.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Some cleaning agents, paints, adhesives, graphics and craft materials and other products emit harmful VOC chemicals that can easily become vapors or gas. If they are used or stored in the home, they can release air pollutants. Some of these products are in tobacco products as well. In certain areas the ground beneath the home emits natural radon gas another source for indoor air pollution.

How can these Contaminants be removed from the Air Duct System?

The air ducts are brush-vacuumed using the Rotobrush® air duct cleaning system also removing the allergy and disease-causing contaminants that continuously circulate throughout the air duct system. We will then sanitize your air ducts and vents with an environmentally safe sanitizer commonly used in hospitals and nursing homes. This reduces the risk of contaminant growth and leaves behind a fresh scent. This advanced cleaning method leaves fresh, clean and virtually contaminant-free air in your home or office.
