La Jolla has clean outdoor air. We are so close to the ocean, that sea breezes tend to freshen our outdoor air continually. If only our indoor air were as clean. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that our indoor air can be up to 70% dirtier than regular outdoor air. There are many reasons for this statistic. First of all, the modern trend of keeping our houses airtight has much to do with our stagnant air quality. The only circulation our indoor air seems to get, is when we have our air conditioners, or our heaters running. Even then, the air constantly circulates and travels through our air vents, and ducts. These ducts then become traps for dirt, dust, mold, mildew, dust mites, pollen, and a host of other pollutants. Because these particles are trapped in the ducts and vents, and because they are constantly being recirculated by air movement, they are more likely to afflict you with allergic reactions and breathing problems than outdoor air.
Question: “What are some of the symptoms of having polluted duct air in my home, or office?”
Answer: The symptoms of dirty air in the home, or place of business are many. Excess colds, headaches, flu, respiratory ailments, allergies, watery eyes, and runny nose are the most noticeable. Asthma, and depression, can also be worsened, by breathing dirty indoor air. Too often, the outdoor air is blamed for these annoying maladies, when in actuality it is the constant breathing of dirty indoor air that is to blame.

Question: “How do I know that I need to have my ducts cleaned?”
Answer: You really don’t know, and that is why Ben’s Carpet Cleaning recommends that you call us, and schedule an air duct inspection. This inexpensive, but much needed inspection, will accurately determine if your air ducts need professional cleaning or not.
Question: “Isn’t air duct cleaning just for older homes?”
Answer: No! Air duct debris does accumulate over time in older homes. Many new, or newer homes have construction debris accidentally left in the attic, crawl spaces, or even in the air ducts themselves. This debris can include items like insulation, left over drywall, even asbestos. Tiny particles of these dangerous materials can be dislodged by the air flow coming through the vents. In fact, drywall dust is very common in modern homes, even when not left directly in the vents. If your home contains drywall, you have drywall dust. You will notice it’s presence on computer screens, television screens, glass table tops, and other smooth, shiny surfaces.
Ben’s Carpet Cleaning can inspect, and clean your vents to produce a clean, spring fresh air at home, or at the office. We use powerful commercial grade brushes to loosen the dust, dirt, and other particles that line your ducts. We then use a high-powered vacuum system to suck all the dirty, contaminants into a sealed canister. Your vents are cleaned too, as the circulated air travels through them as well. The process is noisy, but well worth it. Call us today, for your air duct inspection. Take the first step toward cleaner, fresher, indoor air by calling our telephone number below.
