Allergen Cleaning
Allergen Cleaning in Los Angeles
Allergies affect millions of Americans each day. However, for many individuals, the worst allergy symptoms occur not outside in the parks with trees and flowers, but within their homes. If you or a family member struggles with allergies such as sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, coughing, or irritation symptoms within the home, your air ducts might be the cause. The HVAC system within your home acts as the lungs of the residence. Therefore, if allergens have accumulated within the ductwork of your HVAC system, those individual symptoms will continue to circulate throughout your home each time the HVAC system is operating. At Moonstone Duct Experts, we offer professional allergen cleaning services that will remove the allergens that have accumulated within the duct system of your HVAC system. Our professional allergen cleaning services will provide relief for those who suffer from allergies within Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.
What Allergens Are Hiding in Your Air Ducts?
Your home’s duct system can accumulate a variety of different allergens that can lead to the symptoms described above. Understanding what types of allergens are within your system is the first step toward getting rid of them. Some of the most common allergens that can accumulate within your duct system in Los Angeles, CA include:
Dust and Dust Mites
One of the most common allergens within the home is dust. Furthermore, individual dust mites within the duct system excrete waste that can trigger the symptoms of those with allergies and asthma.
Pet Dander
If your home has pets like dogs or cats, the dander that they shed can enter the duct system and accumulate within the duct system’s air passages.
Pollen
Los Angeles features a warm and dry climate that allows the area’s vegetation to remain active and growth throughout the year. Therefore, pollen is present in the area year-round. Additionally, the pollen can enter your HVAC system and accumulate within the duct system.
Mold Spores
Should mold have grown within your duct system, the spores that it releases into the air are one of the most potent allergens. Furthermore, even a small amount of mold within your duct system can release enough mold spores to trigger allergies in the individuals of your household.
Cockroach and Pest Debris
Los Angeles features a variety of cockroach populations and other indoor pests. The droppings and other debris that these insects leave behind are powerful allergens that can trigger severe reactions in those with allergies.
Volatile Organic Compounds
A variety of chemicals that are used within the home to clean the residence and its inhabitants can accumulate within your duct system and act as an allergen for individuals in the household who are sensitive to such chemicals.
How Allergens Affect Your Health
Individuals that suffer from allergies experience a variety of symptoms due to the presence of these allergens in their environment in the home. These symptoms can range from sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, skin rashes, and asthma symptoms to fatigue and headaches. For those with severe allergies or asthma symptoms, the exposure to these allergens can trigger reactions that require medical attention. Additionally, young children and the elderly that suffer from allergies also experience the impact of these symptoms on their quality of life. Furthermore, since individuals spend the majority of their days within their homes, those within the duct system are exposed to these allergens continuously.
Our Allergen Cleaning Process
Moonstone Duct Experts specializes in providing professional allergen cleaning services for residential and commercial property duct systems. Our process ensures that each client receives the attention required to remove the allergens within their system.
Step 1 — Allergen Assessment and Inspection
The first step of our professional duct cleaning service is an inspection of the client’s duct system. This inspection will allow our technician to determine the type and amount of allergens that are accumulated within their system.
Step 2 — Deep Mechanical Cleaning
Using HEPA-filtered vacuums and specialized tools, our technician will deep clean the entire duct system of the client’s home. HEPA filtration is essential for our allergen cleaning service because it will ensure that the allergens are captured and not released back into the household’s environment.
Step 3 — Targeted Allergen Cleaning Treatment
Following the deep mechanical cleaning of the client’s duct system, we will apply targeted treatments that will neutralize any remaining allergens within the duct system.
Step 4 — Antimicrobial Application
If the initial inspection of the client’s duct system revealed the presence of mold growth, we will apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial to the duct system to kill those mold colonies and prevent new biological growth within the duct system.
Step 5 — Filter Inspection and Recommendation
We will also perform an inspection of the HVAC system’s filter. Since this is the first line of defense for the duct system for the entry of allergens into the living spaces of the client and their family, we will make recommendations for the client for the type of filter to use to best control the amount of allergens that enter the duct system.
Step 6 — Final Inspection and Air Quality Recommendations
Following the treatment of the client’s HVAC system, we will perform a final inspection of the duct system. Based on the findings of this inspection, we will provide recommendations to the client regarding how to maintain the low levels of allergens within their system.
Why Los Angeles Allergy Sufferers Need Extra Attention
Los Angeles is one of the worst cities in which individuals with allergies can live. The climate in Los Angeles maintains high levels of pollen throughout the year. Additionally, wildfire seasons occur within the area, which introduces smoke and particulate matter into the air. Finally, the urban environment in Los Angeles includes a variety of pollutants that can impact indoor air quality within the region. For individuals in Los Angeles who suffer from allergies, keeping their HVAC system’s ducts clean is a health necessity. The high concentration of outdoor allergens that enter the area’s duct systems annually means that without regular professional HVAC system duct and allergen cleaning, the indoor ducts can contribute significantly to the symptoms associated with those allergies. Moonstone Duct Experts understands these challenges of Los Angeles’s climate and environment and has tailored its allergen cleaning service to combat these common issues with the area’s HVAC systems.
