Indoor Air Quality, Does duct cleaning prevent health problems?
The presence of moisture in air conditioning ducts is common since the air leaving the air conditioner evaporator is saturated. In many climates air conditioning is used most of the year providing little time for ducts to dry out. High moisture in ducts can cake dirt and provide an environment for mold to grow. This situation leads to serious indoor air contamination problems.
While the air quality in Texas has improved greatly over the past 40 years, there are still many pollutants in the air if it is man-made as well as natural ones, such as pine and oak pollen. These can cause respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies. A Professioanl air duct cleaning service in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston will improve your indoor air quality.
What is the best source of information for consumers about air duct cleaning?
According to the EPA the primary sources of indoor exposure to airborne chemicals are products used in interior environments, including furnishings, building materials and other household and office products, that can emit thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particles into the air. Of all the culprits that can affect IAQ, chemical emissions are the most harmful as they can contribute to a wide range of health effects.
Through neglect, or sometimes normal use over long periods of time, air ducts in homes accumulate dirt and mold and bacteria begin to grow. Often the situation is identified when family members begin to experience allergic symptoms. The house has become sick. Can the ducts in a sick-house be restored to a safe level? YES!
For truly contaminated duct systems, Extreme Air Duct Cleaning Professionals can cut into the duct work to insert the vacuum line to remove localized dirt build-up. Our commercial grade air duct cleaners are equipped with tiny fiber-optic cameras to assist in locating dirt build-up and to confirm cleaning effectiveness.
Fiberglass lined ductwork that is merely dirty can be cleaned if care is taken not to damage the fiberglass. However, if such ductwork has become wet it cannot be cleaned. The mold penetrates into the fiberglass and will begin to grow again as soon as surface growth is removed. The use of biocides is not recommended in ductwork because of the danger to the building occupants of exposure to the biocide.
