Yes, You Need Air Duct Cleaning
06/25/2014 Back To BlogOftentimes people wait until the last minute before they get experts to do the job for them. The sad truth is that homeowners put off cleaning a dryer vent until the very last minute and residents are already getting sick. There are several indicators that you can use to remind you that your house is due for cleaning.
You Need Dry Vents Cleaning When...
- Infestation Problems. Rats, mice, insects and other pests are clear indicators of dirty vents and ducts. These creatures find your vents appealing and they often build nests there; often carrying with them leaves, pieces of trash, hair and other unwanted objects. If you notice insects and bugs too, that's one of the signs that its time for some air duct sanitizing.
- Dust and Dirty Ducts. When ducts start looking grimy and dusty, it's time to give the cleaners a call. Some homeowners try to do the cleaning themselves by using brooms and vacuum cleaners. Truth is, you would need trained cleaners to be able to reach down those ducts. They bring with them ventilating cleaning equipment when they go to homes and offices. The more dust you let accumulate over time means more dirt being circulated back to your rooms and work areas.
- Molds and Growths. If your ducts and vents have reached this stage then you might need more than just a regular cleaning. It may be time to get a dryer vent replacement if it is already covered in molds and run over by growth. Cleaners are very careful when handling these as they are experienced enough to know how to dispose of the mold properly. The last thing you want is to have dirty air going around your home or office. So don't wait until the last minute to schedule a cleaning appointment with one of our professionals.
