CAN DUCT CLEANING BRING ME ALLERGY RELIEF?
If you’re a seasonal allergy sufferer, you know that few things can
drain the joy out of summertime like the misery of red, itchy eyes,
continuous sneezing and post-nasal drip. These types of allergies are
common in the Los Angeles area.
Allergies can mean more than general misery for asthma sufferers,
whose bouts can be much worse during allergy season—even
life-threatening, in some cases. Allergy-driven asthma affects 10 million Americans, rates that have doubled since 1980.
Allergies
are your body’s reaction to allergens (particles your body
considers foreign), a sign that your immune system is working overtime.
These allergens can build up inside your indoor AC duct system. Dirt
and allergens inside your air system blow out into your work or living
space, and recirculate, each time you turn on your air conditioning or
heating system. Due to this factor, some allergy sufferers are more
miserable indoors than outdoors.
Most residences we work at to have
never had the air system cleaned and if it was cleaned it was cleaned with the brush shown bellow- its just not clean. On Residences you need to use a
duct cleaning auger (half inch cable brush 25' long driven by drill)
along with a negative air machine (big vacuum that sits outside).
Truck mounted equipment is good but not required and sometimes
is too big for the driveways.

ARE DIRTY DUCTS ADVERSELY AFFECTING MY YOUR HEALTH?
With so much attention these days on one's health one can only wonder how safe is our work environment.
Researchers
from the U.S. National Institute Of Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH inc.) recently completed a three-year study of 165 buildings which
were considered to have Indoor Air Quality problems. As a result of
these studies, they have compiled data showing the most common IAQ
problems and the relative risk of certain health problems in the
presence of different building conditions. The most common problems
adversely affecting the indoor environment were found to be dirty HVAC
(heating, ventilation, air conditioning) components, no written IAQ plan
and lack of maintenance - or disrepair - of HVAC systems. As you can
see, the HVAC system predominantly contributes to adverse health
effects. It was found that dirty particulate filters and dirt found in
the OSA (outside air) intake doubled the chance of asthma in building
occupants exposed to such, as compared to those not exposed. Exposure to
unclean ducts increased the likelihood of health symptoms like runny
nose, sneezing or itchy eyes.
With all of these health issues in
the workplace, one can only wonder how much this is effecting the health
of office workers and tenants, their productivity and the efficiency of
one's company. What is the solution to these health problems? There is
something you can do about it. Having your HVAC systems inspected,
cleaned and maintained at scheduled intervals is the best guarantee
against employee and tenant complaints and lowered productivity through
increased sick days. You can find out today if your system has become a
potential health risk.
SICK BUILDING SYNDROME- DEFINED:
The term "Sick Building Syndrome" is used
to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute
health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a
building, but no specific illness or cause has been identified.
Indicators of Sick Building Syndrome
Building
occupants complain of symptoms associated with acute discomfort, e.g.,
headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin;
dizziness and nausea; difficulty in concentrating; fatigue; and
sensitivity to odors. The cause of the symptoms is not known. Most of
the people who complained, reported relief soon after leaving the
building.
Solving the problem (Locating the source)
While
investigating remember, that mold generally needs a moisture source and
a food source to survive. Poorly configured landscape irrigation or
inadequate drainage outside the building can result in moisture inside
the building. This can lead to subsequent mold growth.
- The
air conditioning systems may be contaminated with mold. This can be a
result of various conditions, such as overflowing drain pans,
condensation blowing off the coils onto internal insulation or water
incursion into the ducts (leaking rooftop ducts) to name a few.
- The filters in the HVAC system don’t fit correctly, leaving gaps and allowing contaminants into the system.
- The
outside air intake for the HVAC system is located near a bathroom
exhaust or other undesirable locations. Not enough outside (fresh) air.
Fresh air is needed to dilute the contaminants typically found within a
building.
- HVAC system not balanced, e.g. too much or not enough air being delivered to a specific location
- HVAC system has been contaminated. This can be a result of outside sources or conditions within the system.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MY HEATING VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CLEANED?
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, these include:
- The location of your system. Are you near a freeway, forest? In a desert climate? On the coast etc. What weather conditions are usual in your area. Is it windy? Do you experience a lot of rain, very dry air or have very moist air? Etc. How
old is your system is. How often you change the filters.
- Normally we recommend cleaning again after 3 years or more.
They way to tell if your system needs cleaning is to have a look at the
grills/registers.
Are they dusty or is there accumulated dirt on
them?Shine a flash light through the grill/register, do the ducts behind
the grill/register look dirty?If so, then you should get your system
cleaned.As a general rule of thumb, we say every 5 years. If you live in
a dusty place or close to a freeway then maybe as soon as 3 years. If
you change the filters regularly and you live in a clean environment
then it could be fine for 7 years. Another factor could be if you or
anyone in the house has allergies.If you move into a previously owned
house you should get the system cleaned. Since dead skin makes up most
of what dust is made from then cleaning the system makes hygienic sense
and helps anyone with allergies.

FAQ'S
How often should I get my dryer vent cleaned?We
recommend cleaning the dryer vent once per year. However, if there is
heavier than normal usage of the dryer or if the duct is very long, it
may need to be cleaned more often.
What is your service area?The
service area includes Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara
Counties and portions of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Any job
in California thats large scope.
Does it make a mess?
We
use a negative air industrial vacuum unit with HEPA filters to capture
dirt from the system while cleaning. While setting up to clean your
system, like taking down air vents, our crews take care to protect
furnishings, floors, etc and they carefully clean up afterward. Our
commercial proposal specifications states: "Cleaning of premises:we
shall keep the job site clean of all surplus materials and debris. We
shall dispose of all debris and leave area broom clean at the end of
each work shift". The same applies to residential projects.
Do we replace filters?
We
will install new filters if they are provided by the homeowner or
business. There are many, many sizes and types of filters and we do not
carry a full stock of all types. If arranged prior to contracting for
the project, however, we can provide the filters as well.
Does everyone have to move out,leave the premises?
No.
However, in commercial buildings, the work is normally done off hours
so regular operations of the business are not interrupted. The air
conditioning is shut down during the time of the cleaning. If the
project takes longer than one shift, the crew ensures that the system is
operational for the next day's business.
How do I know my ducts are dirty?There
are different methods of detecting if the system needs cleaning. One
way is to find out from the a/c company that regularly maintains your
furnace. If you don't have one, then another method you can do is open a
vent from any room in the house and shine a flashlight in it; if you
see a thick film of dust/debris then its time to clean the system. Or
when you turn the system on and debris comes out of vents that would
also be an indication to get the system cleaned.
