Do You Know What is Lurking in Your Air Ducts?
When you buy a house you probably don’t know much about who was living in it before you, and you know even less things that may have been done in the house. Going back through all of the people who previously lived in the house, a lot of living may have been done there, and you never know what could have been stashed, stored, or thrown away up in the air ducts.
Right now, as you sit in front of your computer reading this article, there could be a fortune stashed up in your air ducts. Maybe someone who lived in your house back in 1910 was an eccentric millionaire who didn’t trust banks. He could have put his life savings up in the air ducts and not told anyone. If you had your aid ducts cleaned regularly by a bonded and insured air duct technician, you would be rich right now, and you could afford to move from that old house!
Only kidding, but we have found some valuables in people’s air ducts before. But the things that I’m really talking about are mold, dust, animal droppings, bacteria, and other allergens and contaminants. When you are moving into a house that is new to you, there is no way for you to know when, or if, the last owners had the air ducts cleaned. There could be mold up there that has been growing for years, or dust deposits and inch thick. Aside from mold and dust, there can be living pest of a larger nature in your ducts, like insects and rodents, and it is a good idea to have a professional make sure that the ducts are free of pests. It is common sense to start off on a clean slate and get your air ducts cleaned when you move into a different residence.
Now you might say that this makes sense if you are moving into a house that has been previously lived in, but my house is brand new so there is no reason to have the air ducts cleaned. This is not necessarily true. During construction, there could have been supplies left up in the ducts that can deteriorate and blow around in the air that you are breathing. It is a good idea to have the ducts nice and clean from the time that you move in to your new home, and keep up a regular cleaning schedule so they stay that way.
