The air ducts at your home, or place of business, are little noticed. With our busy, daily lives, we only think of our air ducts when they get clogged, or when the air conditioning, or heating system is not working to full potential. Only then, do we seem to look up at our air ducts and notice them.
Over time, harmful particles begin to accumulate in our ducts. Even the cleanest, most vacuumed homes will gather dust, debris, human and animal dander, pollen, drywall dust, and other microscopic material in the air ducts. Older homes often have a musty, or mildew smell associated with them. Many times, this comes from accumulated matter in the air ducts. Even newly constructed homes can have dirty, or clogged air ducts, as construction debris is often accidentally left in the air ducts, and not removed until much later.

Question: “I’ve heard of drywall dust. What is it exactly?”
Answer: Drywall dust is a byproduct of the drywall used in your home’s construction. Most people see it, and don’t know of it’s origin. It is commonly seen as a fine, white powder lightly sprinkled throughout the house, or office. It is most noticeable on computer screens, glass
tabletops, black plastic surfaces, and television screens. We notice it in these easy-to-see places, but it also rapidly accumulates in upholstered furniture fabric, and in the air ducts.
Question: “What is the harm in having dirty air ducts?”
Answer: While we all know that outdoor air can be dirty, and polluted, the scary truth is, that indoor air is known to be from 10 times, to over 100 times more polluted than outside air. Constantly breathing this dirty air can lead to health issues, from watery eyes, and runny nose, to severe allergies, and asthma. Even with houseplants and indoor air cleaners, the level of pollutants in our indoor air is very great.
Question: “How often should I get my air ducts professionally cleaned?”
Answer: Del Mar Carpet Cleaning recommends a regular inspection of your air ducts every 2 years. This inexpensive, but much needed inspection will reveal whether or not you need to proceed with the actual cleaning.
Question: “Can mold grow, and develop in my air ducts?”
Answer: Yes it can. Dampness can develop in your ducts, causing the rapid growth of mold and mildew. This can lead to dangerous conditions for anyone living, or working at this location. If dampness is present in your air ducts, it will be detected by our Carpet Cleaning Experts in Del Mar technicians during the inspection.
