(Newswire.net — June 17, 2013) Baton Rouge, LA — When you notice that the air quality of your home or business’ has diminished significantly, it can be difficult and confusing to know exactly what to do next.
If you want to know what the professionals would recommend, here are some helpful ideas from the air duct cleaning professionals.
“Our entire team has seen the effects of prolonged exposure to poor air quality in local homes and businesses, and our goal has always been to help these families and business owners get back to normal as quickly as possible,” notes Shawn Folks, owner of Guarantee Service Team of Professionals, a Baton Rouge air duct cleaning company.
Mr. Folks offers several quick tips to help you decide if you have air quality issues. You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if:
There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet metal) ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system. There are several important points to understand concerning mold detection in heating and cooling systems:
- Many sections of your heating and cooling system may not be accessible for a visible inspection, so ask the service provider to show you any mold they say exists.
- You should be aware that although a substance may look like mold, a positive determination of whether it is mold or not can be made only by an expert and may require laboratory analysis for final confirmation. For about $50, some microbiology laboratories can tell you whether a sample sent to them on a clear strip of sticky household tape is mold or simply a substance that resembles it.
- If you have insulated air ducts and the insulation gets wet or moldy it cannot be effectively cleaned and should be removed and replaced.
- If the conditions causing the mold growth in the first place are not corrected, mold growth will recur.
Ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects); or
- Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.
If any of the conditions identified above exists, it usually suggests one or more underlying causes. Prior to any cleaning, retrofitting, or replacing of your ducts, the cause or causes must be corrected or else the problem will likely recur.
Mr. Folks goes on to note, “If you think you’re having a problem, its always a good idea to have a local professional come out to your home or business and take a look. That way, the air duct cleaning professional will be able to answer any questions you have, and be able to give you a few different ideas for how best to proceed.”
