Picture yourself taking deep breaths from your vacuum cleaner’s bag or canister - just before you empty it!
 
As awful as it sounds, it gives you an accurate picture of what the air you breathe is like after it passes over the crud and decaying debris in your air ducts.
That’s because your ductwork works a lot like your home vacuum cleaner.
And if you think about it, the main difference is that your vacuum only runs a few minutes each day compared to the hours on end that your furnace and air conditioning fans run.
Every time your furnace or air conditioning runs, many things are sucked into your ductwork.
Things like dust, pet hair, cooking grease, cigarette smoke, ash and other debris that will stay in your ductwork until they eventually decay and are released back into the air stream for you and your family to breathe over and over again.
Anyone who has ever cleaned underneath or behind their refrigerator knows just how much gunk and really gross stuff a fan will collect.
So if you want to know what’s in the dark depths of your ductwork, just look in your vacuum cleaner bag or canister and see just what exactly you and your family are breathing over and over each and every day.
This reason alone is definitely enough to get your air ducts cleaned and sanitized as soon as possible. Why spend hundreds of dollars each year to have your carpets professionaly cleaned and then totally forget about all the ash, dirt, allergens and harmful contaminents in your air duct system?
It never fails to amaze me how many people will get their carpet cleaned every year and never even consider how dirty their ductwork might be, typically it's really filthy.
Since most air duct systems contain enough sheet metal to completely enclose an average bedroom, imagine one whole room in your house totally caked with ash, pet hair, grime, and dirt.
This will give you a great picture of what the air you and your family breathe has to pass through every single time your furnace or air conditioning blower runs.
Just because you can't see all those harmfull contaminents, definitely does not mean that they are not in your air ducts!
I know all of this sounds really extreme, but you wouldn’t believe what we find in our clients ductwork.
I can’t say we’ve found anything like a cat, but we have seen everything else imaginable.
Everything from long forgotten pest control victims to hair, aluminum cans, bugs and a host of other really gross stuff.
You see, even though you’re the best housekeeper in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Carpinteria, what about the person who lived in the house before you?
Unless it’s a new house, you just don’t know what stuff remains in the ductwork from previous home owners or renters.
Stuff that depends entirely on what their personal hygiene, house cleaning and smoking habits were (not to mention how they took care of their pets).
In most cases, it’s probably better that you don’t even know who and what lived there before you.
Even brand new houses could have very contaminated ductwork.
For example we have found construction debris, empty food and drink containers, cigarette butts and a bunch of other nasty stuff left behind by construction workers and contractors in brand new duct work.
