Three Situations that Necessitate a Thorough Cleaning of Your Air Ducts

For a lot of homeowners, getting their air ducts cleaned is optional. But duct cleaning can be vital to your family’s health and well-being. Although air ducts need to be cleaned routinely, experts recommend cleaning them right after any of the following situations:

The Air Ducts Have Mold

Particularly, if a family member has asthma or allergies, mold in the ducts can be a health threat to your family. Ultra Air duct cleaning experts will eliminate mold and other developments in the ducts, ensuring your family enjoys quality indoor air.

There is a Possible Pest Infestation

If you have seen spiders, rats, cockroaches, and mice in your house, they may be coming from the air ducts. Usually, these pests will set up camp inside the ductwork. A foul smell that comes from the vents usually indicates an infestation. If this is the case, you may have to contact an exterminator to handle the pests in the ducts.

Then, you should have your ducts cleaned by experts to get rid of droppings, saliva, and bodily parts that the pests have left behind.

The Registers Produce Debris

While a fine layer of duct can accumulate inside the ducts, you cannot see visible particles coming out of the vents. The majority of air contaminants are not visible to the naked eye.

Thus, you must take additional measures to preserve the quality of air inside your house. Make sure to work with a company that specializes in air ducts and purification to ensure their technicians know exactly what they are doing.
