Common Air Duct Contaminants and How to Remove Them

Establishing and maintaining clean air ducts is the key to healthy indoor air and a healthier household in general. Unfortunately, your air ducts can accumulate dust, debris, and other contaminants that will negatively impact your home’s air and your well-being. At Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning, we specialize in removing these pollutants from your home. Let’s explore some common contaminants often found within air ducts and how we can help you eliminate them.

Common Contaminants Found in Air Ducts

Various contaminants can enter your home through your daily activities, the presence of pets, and from the outside through open windows and doors. Dust, dirt, pollen, pet dander, mold, mildew, and bacteria are all pollutants that can build up in your home and then get distributed each day by your HVAC system. As these contaminants are recirculated through your heating and cooling system, they can settle into your air ducts and accumulate there as the cycle continues.

How You Can Reduce These Contaminants

You can take some measures to try to reduce the amount of contaminants that accumulate in your home. Regularly dusting and vacuuming your house will lessen the dust, dirt, and pet dander that can enter your air ducts. You could also maintain the proper humidity levels in your home to prevent mold and mildew growth. Stay up to date with your HVAC system maintenance and use high-quality air filters, changing them out consistently.

How We Can Remove These Contaminants

The most effective way to successfully remove all of these contaminants is through our professional air duct cleaning service. Using the source removal method, we have the tools and equipment to completely remove dust and other debris from your home. For an additional cost, we can apply an anti-microbial treatment to sanitize your ducts. It effectively eliminates odor-causing microorganisms and those associated with mold, mildew, and bacterial growth. Lastly, we offer a duct sealing service that will prevent contaminants from entering your system through cracks and holes in the ductwork.
