Asthma is a chronic illness involving the respiratory system in which
the airway occasionally constricts, becomes inflamed, and is lined with excessive
amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers. These episodes may
be triggered by such things as exposure to an environmental stimulant (or allergen)
such as cold air, warm air, moist air, exercise or exertion, or emotional stress.
In children, the most common triggers are viral illnesses such as those that cause
the common cold.[1] This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness
of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The airway constriction responds to
bronchodilators. Between episodes, most patients feel well but can have mild symptoms
and they may remain short of breath after exercise for longer periods of time
than the unaffected individual. The symptoms of asthma, which can range from mild
to life threatening, can usually be controlled with a combination of drugs and
environmental changes. Public attention in the developed world has recently focused
on asthma because of its rapidly increasing prevalence, affecting up to one in
four urban children.

Air duct cleaning
is important for homeowners. If not properly maintained, air ducts often become
contaminated with dust, pollen and other debris. If moisture is present, mold
spores can grow and may be released into a home's living space. Some of these
contaminants may cause allergies and illnesses. Properly cleaned air ducts promote
healthier breathing, a cleaner home, and increased energy efficiency.

growing demand for quality air duct cleaning services and to handle an increasing

If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or even if you find you have to dust too often, then air duct cleaning is for you. Not only will you breathe cleaner air, you can increase the amount of air flow reducing your electric bills. The American College of Allergy concluded that 50 percent of all illnesses are either caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air. Even in new homes we find just as much dust and residue as older homes due to construction residue.
Over time, pollutants, mold and bacteria from dirt, pollen, tobacco smoke, pet hair and dust mites collect in the ductwork of your home's heating and cooling system. Every time your furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump runs, these particles whisk through the vents and spew into the air that your family breathes. It's UNSANITARY. It's UNHEALTHY. We can rid your ducts of this build-up using our special system.

State-of-the-Art
Source Removal Duct Cleaning
Our
company uses only state of the art equipment manufactured by Abatement Technology
(www.abatement.com ). Our Hepa-Vac is
a portable unit that will be placed within twenty five feet of your main supply
trunk line. We then will cut a twelve inch opening into the trunk line and attach
our Hepa-Vac system. Once this is attached it will cause a negative air flow
and at this point we will go to each branch line to brush each line to the trunk
line. This is a soft ply brush on the end of a drill so that enables us to clean
metal ducts, flex ducts, or duct board lines. This brush causes most items to
break loose from the lines ant the negative air flow from the Hepa-Vac brings
it to the trunk line, to insure that we have gotten everything from the branch
lines. We then use an air sweep at 185 PSI down each branch line to the trunk
line.
Once
all the trunk lines are brushed and air swept to the trunk line, we will then
clean the trunk line back the unit with reverse brushes and air sweeps. Once
completed, we will repair the trunk line with sheet metal, zip screws, and foil
tape completely securing your lines back. Then your air duct lines are clean,
without the use of any chemicals. According to WebMD.com
those who suffer with allergy problems should clean their air ducts every year.
For most people, in residential homes, the ducts will stay clean for 5 to 7
years with the use of good filters and Heating and A/C service work on a regular
basis.

Conquer Your Allergies You don't need to suffer if you have
allergies. Here's how to lessen the blow. By Jeanie L. Davis WebMD FeatureAllergies
can be irritating and even maddening. But you don't have to suffer. Take charge
of your environment! Here are some steps to control the allergens that trigger
your reactions. Pollen, mold, dust mites, and animal dander are common irritants
that cause itchy eyes and congestion. To get rid of them, you must make changes
inside your home - and take precautions when outdoors. At Home Keep windows
closed and use air conditioning. Clean air filters frequently and air ducts
at least once a year. Keep humidity in your house below 50% to prevent mold
growth. Install dehumidifiers in basements and other damp areas. Avoid moldy
areas: basements, garages, crawl spaces, barns, compost heaps. Keep pets outside.
If you must keep pets indoors, do not allow them in bedrooms; bathe them often.
Use plastic covers for pillows, mattresses, and box springs. Get rid of overstuffed
furniture or down-filled bedding/pillows. Wash bedding in hot water every week.
Wear a mask and gloves when cleaning to limit chemical exposure. Install hardwood
floors instead of carpeting. Limit number of throw rugs. Avoid dust-collecting
window blinds and long drapes. Use window shades instead. Vacuum twice a week.
Wash bathroom surfaces and shower curtain with diluted bleach. Outdoors Check
the forecast. Stay indoors on hot, dry, windy days when pollen count is high.
If mold is a problem, stay inside during rainy or windy days. Check the time.
Between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m., pollen counts are highest. Avoid being around freshly
cut grass whenever possible. Avoid yard work! Mowing stirs up grass pollen.
Flowers are loaded with pollen; so are many trees. Raking leaves stirs up mold
spores. Let someone else to do your yard work, so you can avoid these pesky
allergens. Wear a mask. If you must work in the yard, an inexpensive painter's
mask will protect you from grass and flower pollen as well as mold. Take a shower.
After being outdoors, get rid of allergens that may have collected in your clothes
and hair. Take a shower, wash your hair, and change clothes. Use the clothes
drier. Don't hang clothes and linens outside to dry. Pollen and molds can easily
attach to them. Vacuum your car. Lots of animal dander is shed from your clothes
onto your car's interior. Keep car windows closed, and close vents. Use air
conditioning.
