Is Air Channel Cleaning Necessary For a Condo?

By Wilton Nascimento


According to the USEPA, The levels of some dangerous contaminants in indoor air have been found to be up to 70 times bigger than in outside air. One major source of indoor air pollution is dirty air channels. Each time the furnace or air conditioner is in operation, dust, mud particles, waste, pollen, pet dander and other pollutants are drawn into the channel system. Over time , the particles accrue in the ducts. The duct system finally becomes the perfect environment for the proliferation of mold, bacteria, and other organisms.

The air is pumped through the system and dispelled across the home where family members and pets become sick. Folks with respiratory conditions such as asthma or people who are subject to allergic reactions are at a more significant risk of growing sick. Kids and the elderly are also at a high risk of getting sick from poor indoor air. Fortunately , folk now have the power to have their channels cleaned in order to improve the standard of their indoor air. Folk who live in condominiums have the same indoor air contaminants as householders and they should ideally have their ducts cleaned.

By having in-suite exhausts, heating/cooling systems, and clothing dryer units cleaned, Apartment managers are providing residents with a good breathing environment. Dryers produce very large amounts of lint. There's a fair quantity of lint that escapes the lint trap and gets into the vent system. Over a period the accumulation of dryer lint can make a risk of a fire. Because lint is a very highly inflammable material, many insurance corporations and fire departments need dryer vents to be checked and cleaned frequently. Blocked airways and heat could cause lint to catch fire. Also , dryers that do not vent correctly are less efficient and thus are rather more pricey to operate. Cleaning laundry vents and exhaust systems are crucial to reducing the risk of a fire and improving energy conservation.

When there's wrong air ventilation, the indoor air becomes contaminated with air contaminants. The reduction in air ventilation ends up in Condo residents breathing bad air. The air duct cleaning DC technique utilised by many cleaning corporations is composed of a lightweight power vacuum and an air compressor. This sort of unit, or a similar designed unit, allows experts to reach and totally clean a Condo's whole duct system. The cleaning units are quiet so residents may not be disturbed. Most companies use the most current duct cleaning equipment technology available. For example, robotic channel cleaning equipment is quickly turning into a well-liked choice for many companies.

Many building are now becoming beset with a condition called 'Sick Building Syndrome,' including Apartments. This term means that a building or home has contaminants in it that are making the occupants sick. Some main factors behind Sick Building Syndrome include: poisons in such items as upholstery, carpets, treated wood products, cleaning products, as well as pesticides and certain types of plastic material that can emit unstable organic compounds (VOCs) in the air, including formaldehyde. Biological contaminants can include pollen, bacteria, viruses, and molds.

Unclean or damp air channels provide the perfect home for the accumulation of debris, dust mites, and organisms. This could lead to 'sick building syndrome.' Because Condos can have an extensive duct system, it is essential to have the air channel cleaning continually so as to maintain healthy indoor air for the apartment residents.
