5 Important Reasons for Air Duct Cleaning from AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex

It’s been a long, hot summer across North Carolina. In July, it hit 90 degrees every single day. The air conditioning systems in Triangle homes and businesses have been working hard since May. In addition, the windows haven’t been open much at all, so outside fresh ventilation has been infrequent at best.  As large volumes of air are recirculated through HVAC systems over the hot season, it’s inevitable that dust, pollen, pet dander, chemical residues, cooking residues, smoke, and various other particles have accumulated in the air ducts.

It is also an important consideration that the recent heavy rains and flooding from Hurricane Matthew might have created mold in a variety of homes and buildings. This mold can get into and spread throughout the entire HVAC system. Our team of professionals at AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex is available to help home and business owners get their indoor air quality (IAQ) back to healthy levels with certified, expert air duct cleaning.

Five reasons why AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex should clean those air ducts now:

• HVAC air ducts are visibly dirty:  If dust or other matter can be seen around HVAC intake and outflow registers and grilles, that same material in the ducts as well. If smoke, mold, or musty odors have been evident, they are also very likely in the air ducts. All of this accumulated matter is being recirculated in the air.
• IAQ problems are made worse by lack of ventilation: The lack of fresh air forces dust, other small particles, and various pollutants, to stay indoors. The result is that such pollutants eventually get inside the HVAC system.  Air duct cleaning minimizes this problem and is often necessary in modern buildings that are tightly sealed from outdoor air and ventilation.
• Sneezing, wheezing, and coughing may not be from seasonal allergies: Another cause of these respiratory symptoms is particles and other pollutants being recirculated by the HVAC system. If the air ducts are never cleaned, indoor air pollution increases over time. In that situation, accumulating dust, pollen, and mold are increasingly moving through the indoor air.
• Our air duct cleaning process will remove indoor air pollutants:  AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex connects a powerful vacuum device to the HVAC system. In addition, special brushes and compressed air whips are inserted into different parts of the system to dislodge particles. Everything gets captured by the vacuum and is removed from the indoor air.
• Our pricing is easy to understand and doesn’t contain hidden extras: Our competitors use a variety of special offers, free inspections, add-on fees, and other pricing approaches to get customers to pay more for air duct cleaning. It is important to note that AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex is an NADCA certified expert company with great customer service. Simpler is better.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex is certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to inspect and clean air ducts in homes and commercial buildings. We approach each job to according to the unique circumstances at hand, explain everything in detail to our clients, and provide the best possible customer service.

Backed Up Pipe Problems in the Home or Office?

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex Can Make It Right! Water damage is never a very good experience when it happens in the home or office.  When the damage comes from the plumbing itself, water and all types of other waste, food scraps and even sewage come flooding into a space.  This can be a major problem for everyone in the building or home environment.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex knows how to remedy these situations properly, and with a strategy of professionalism and urgency!

Cleaning all the damage up quickly is crucial for everyone involved for three critical reasons:

• Water damage causes mold.  If not quickly and properly removed, water can cause deep- seated problems to emerge down the road.  Any moisture left behind after pipes back up can eventually lead to an outbreak of mold in a home or office.  Mold is a health hazard, and is difficult to remediate.  Wasting time getting water cleaned up can lead to a much bigger problem down the road.
• Waste water from backed up pipes brings toxins into the home or office.  Particles in the water that comes from pipes, whether it is sewage or decayed food matter, can bring toxins into the air which flows throughout the building.  These pollutants can be detrimental to the health of everyone in the building if not eradicated promptly.  The AdvantaClean Environmental team of Cary/ Apex will safely remove all hazardous materials using standard IICRC cleanup practices, so as to ensure the safety of everyone in the home or place of business.
• Improper cleanup can be structurally damaging.  If water is not removed from a building promptly and properly, it can seep into porous walls and floors and get into the wooden structure of a building.  This water can cause a slow rot in the wood that will compromise the integrity of the structure, and lead to major damage in the future.

When pipes back up, waste no time in contacting AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex!  Our professionals will get the space cleared out safely so life and business can resume as usual.

Dryer Vent Safety in Cary and Apex NC

One highly overlooked, yet remarkably under-estimated service that AdvantaClean provides for homes and businesses is dryer vent cleaning.  This cost effective service not only lowers energy bills, it also lowers the risk of fires!  For any home or business owner, it is recommended having dryer vents cleaned once a year.  But apart from this rule of thumb there are several warning signs that can mean it is time for a clean!

Dryer vents need a complete cleaning if:

• There is an increase in the energy bill!
• Dryers are hot to the touch after running.
• More than one cycle is needed to dry a load of clothes.
• Clothes smell “musty” after being in the dryer.

The dryer vents are the ductwork which connects a dryer to the outside world. These vents can become clogged with debris over time, mostly clothing fiber like cotton, polyester and wool. These highly flammable materials can be a major hazard to the integrity of a building, and its resistance to fires.

Cleaning dryer ducts can reduce fire hazard levels and:

• Increase the efficiency of the appliance, lowering energy bills.
• Extend the life of the appliance, and of your home or business!
• Clothes will dry more quickly and evenly.
• Reduce the risk of mold or mildew growth on clothes and in the building.
• Give peace of mind by knowing that fire risk is greatly reduced!

If any of the above factors are showing up in your dryer, do not waste time in calling AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex to remedy the situation.  Our team of licensed professionals will efficiently handle the vent cleaning, and make sure the building is secure from any potential of fire damage caused by the neglect of dryer vents.  Call us TODAY to have your vents assessed, and be assured that your home or business will continue to be safe and sound.

You family and your home depend on it.

3 Reasons to Have Office and Home Air Ducts Cleaned Today!

Perhaps the most important factor that determines health here in the Triangle is the quality of the air we breathe in our homes and offices.  Environmental circumstances can affect air quality, making the air unique from place to place.  If you live near the ocean, the air is salty.  If you live near a city, there may be smog in the air.  However, because the air inside buildings is controlled, it has much less environmental variation.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) determined that Americans spend much more than half of our day inside.  This means, more than half the air we breathe is controlled through ventilation systems and ductwork.  This also means that the cleanliness of the duct work throughout the home or building directly affects the health of everyone who loves or works there.

The experienced professional team at AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex understands the importance of a building’s ductwork, and genuinely care about the health of the good people here in Central North Carolina.  A building’s air duct system, be it a commercial, industrial, governmental or residential building, must be regularly cleaned and maintained.  There is no better company to handle this maintenance properly and efficiently in the Triangle.  When it comes to air quality and healthier living, your air is in good hands with AdvantaClean!

Here are three undeniable reasons to have an air duct cleaning by AdvantaClean:

• Health: Through regular occupancy of a building, several allergens are released into the air.  As the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system circulates the air, these allergens are continuously moving throughout the building.  This is true in homes, office buildings, industrial buildings, businesses or any other commercial buildings. Having a rigorous air duct cleaning performed, consistent with NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) guidelines, by a certified AdvantaClean specialist will improve the health of everyone who occupies the building.
• Efficiency: If there is poor circulation coming from a HVAC system, having it cleaned professionally will increase both functionality and efficiency.  The utility bill will directly benefit from the cleanliness and function of the HVAC system!
• Peace of mind: Having air ducts maintained regularly will reduce several insurance risks!  Ensure the health of family members, employees, clients and patients, as well as the life of the building, by keeping air ducts clean!

Health is the number one concern of AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex.  Call today to schedule a free evaluation of your air duct system, and start breathing easier!

4 Environmental Services in Apex & Cary that Promote Healthy Living!

A recent survey of national activity patterns concluded that most people spend about 90% of their daily lives indoors.  Between work and home, there is a very good chance that most people are inside for most of the day.

There is a reason for the varying quality of the air people breathe.  Most buildings have ventilation systems which filters the air. These systems, as well as the functionality of the building’s internal environment, contribute to the quality of the air that is circulated. There is truth in the fact that air quality influences our level of health!  That’s why it is essential that we keep buildings optimized for quality air filtration.  The mission of AdvantaClean Environmental of Apex/ Cary is to do just that in both residential and commercial properties.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex has 20 years of combined experience in air quality optimization!  Our goal is to increase air quality to promote healthier living at home, in the office or any other place we spend time inside.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex can offer these principal four services, as well as others, to promote cleaner air and healthier living:

• Mold Remediation.  Mold in a home, business or office building can cause extremely harmful spores to enter the air, making it dangerous to breathe.  Keeping a building mold free is very important for the health of the people who live and work inside.  AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex can inspect, test for and remove mold.
• Air Duct Cleaning.  The air ducts and filters keep air clean and breathable.  They should be cleaned regularly to ensure maximum filtration, and to keep good quality air circulating within the building.
• Water Damage Restoration.  Water damage is the leading cause of mold and mildew formation inside a building or home.  Stop problems before they start by having a professional cleaning by our team of experts immediately after the damage occurs.
• Dryer Vent Cleaning.  This is a key aspect of residential maintenance in homes today.  Cleaning the dryer vent improves the quality of air in a home, as well as the efficiency of the appliance itself.  This regular service will usually lower the energy bill on a monthly basis!

Don’t let any of these issues affect the quality of air in home and office. Call AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex to get an air quality assessment, and start living a healthier life!
