Air Duct Vacuums and Air Duct Cleaning

In this blog entry, the Houston HVAC sanitization and Houston air duct cleaning service experts here at ProAttic Houston will detail the essential things to know about operating an air duct vacuum for air duct cleaning.

Annual Vacuuming

The Environmental Protection Agency states that it helps to prevent potential respiratory illness to have your air ducts cleaned on an annual basis. This might include simply dipping your hand into reachable areas and wiping off particulate matter from vents, or might include utilization of an air dust vacuum to remove all particulate matter.

Handling Ducts with Care

Air duct vacuums can sometimes damage air ducts by puncturing them if they are placed too far into ducts. We recommend that air duct vacuums are not placed any further than 8 inches into your air ducts in order to prevent tearing ruptures into it.

Mold

The worst type of air particulate that can damage your lungs are fungal spores that grow on mold in your air ducts. Many people don’t know that mold can easily grow in your air ducts, and often is a sign of water leaking into your air ducts. By staying aware of mold – looking for its visual presence, and regularly cleaning to prevent the spread of mold infected dust spores, you can prevent sickness caused by airborne allergens.
