Mold and Debris Removed, All Leaks Sealed, Air Filter for Allergens and Chemicals, and Fresh Air Ventilation System
|
- Mold is commonly found in the air ducts. Mold in the air ducts gets spread throughout your living area.
- Mold pollutants in your home can cause health problems.
- Air leaks are commonly found in air ducts; leaks waste energy and may cause mold to grow in the air ducts.
- The air distribution system should be very clean, no mold growth, air tight, and use high efficiency carbon air filters that remove allergens and chemicals.
- Mold growth is commonly found in the air ducts, along with construction debris, drywall dust, pollen, skin flakes, fiberglass, and insects. Every time the central air system comes on to heat or cool some of these pollutants are “puffed” into the air you breath.
- The EPA states: “health effects may show up either years after exposure has occurred or only after long or repeated periods of exposure.”
- “These effects, which include some respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer, can be severely debilitating or fatal. It is prudent to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home even if symptoms are not noticeable.”

Mold contaminated duct liner is common in air ducts that leak. This situation can be hazardous to your health.
|
- Contaminants build up inside the air ducts over time and make your duct system an ideal breeding ground for mold. These resulting contaminants are then circulated throughout your home and affect the health and comfort of your family.
- Homes older than 2 years may have extensive air ducts that leak.
- Leaky air ducts in the crawlspace or attic draw in polluted air with mold, pollen, fiberglass, insects, smog, ozone, and radon.
- Typically air ducts are internally lined with insulation called “ductliner.” The ductliner is made of thick fiberglass which is an excellent surface for growing mold when even slightly moist.
- Mold can be allergenic, pathogenic (creates a disease), and or toxic, so fixing the cause of the moisture that allows it to grow and removing the mold is critical to having a healthy building.
- Indoor Environmental Systems (IES) cleans both residential and commercial air ducts. IES has the equipment and technical knowledge to clean your air ducts to the National Air Duct Cleaning Associations and the Environmental Protection Agency standards. IES takes before and after pictures. Air samples and 24hr monitoring is also available to verify air duct cleaning effectiveness and provide through IAQ assessments.

Key benefits to air duct cleaning:
|
- Better Efficiency - Average residence saves $5 to $25 per month.
- Increased Comfort - Houses smells better, heats and cools quicker.
- Improved Air Quality –Reduces dust, pollen, mold, radon, smog, chemicals, and pesticides levels with EcoSmart Carbon Filters
- Better Health – Those with allergies, asthmas, heart disease, and cancers benefit from good air quality.
- Ventilation – Our patent pending fresh air ventilation system attaches to your air ducts
- Carbon sequestering – Our EcoSmartStuff Carbon Furnace Filters remove greenhouse gases, chemicals and allergens

Air Duct Cleaning Methods: Patented Roto-Brush, Commercial Push and Pull System, Ductliner Resurfacings
|
- Roto-Brush is the only patented air duct cleaning system for flex duct; it brushes and vacuums at the same time
- Roto-Brush has a 30’ long vacuum hose with brush attached at the end
- Push And Pull Method (PAP): requires the air duct system be placed under negative pressure, through the use of specialized, high-powered vacuums.
- PAP; while the vacuum draws air through the system, mechanical agitation devices are inserted into the ducts to dislodge the debris that is adhered to interior surfaces.
- PAP; The debris travels down the ducts to the vacuum, which removes it from the air duct system
- Resurfacing; we use CleanSeal which is a clean, odorless, non-toxic coating that can be applied throughout the air ducts and will provide a two year warranty of no mold growth.
- Resurfacing; on damaged ductliner we use Fosters 4020, which is an EPA approved white anti-microbial ductliner repair coating. Fosters comes with a 10 year limited warranty.

Air Purification; in typical order of importance
EcoSmartStuffUSA.com; Carbon Furnace filters, Filtered Fresh Air Ventilation, Bi-Polar Ionization HEPA Filters, UV Lamps
|
- 1st. Carbon Furnace Filter removes chemicals, odors, and allergens from the air in your home. The carbon captures greenhouse gases, and ozone the electrostatic cloth captures allergens, and the frame is made with recycled paper. EcoSmart Carbon Furnace Filter use electrostatic cloth and activated carbon to captures allergens, chemical and odors, thereby improving indoor air quality. This carbon-loaded pleated filters clean the air by removing airborne molecular contaminants present at levels less than one particle per million." The filters has a Merv 8 rating and initial resistance of 0.4 at 300 feet per minute. Made in America!
- 2nd. The Filtered Fresh Air Ventilation System (FFAVS) brings filtered fresh air into your home. The system filters the smog, pollen, ozone, mold spores, and radon from the outside air before it enters your home. The FFAVS fits into a foundation vent and connects to the cold air return side of your central air conditioning system. When the central air is on you will be pulling in fresh filters outside air to be conditioned and distributed throughout your home! For a closed conditioned crawl space a crawl space supply registers may be added to the FFAVS. Made in America!
- 3rd. Bi-Polar ionization uses both negative and positive ions to sweep the air of impurities, break down chemicals and inhibit the growth of mold, bacteria and virus. The ionizer is typically mounted in the central air conditioning system; in the main supply air ducts. The technology has been approved by the US Military and the US Green Builders Association. Made in America!
- 4th. Whole House HEPA filtration collects ultra-small particles that can otherwise get deep into your lungs and blood stream. Captures the dust created by automobiles, also smoke, bacteria, and attached viruses. The system attaches to your air duct system It cleans the air in an average house once per hour. The unit includes a pre-filter for large particles and a carbon filter for odors, which extend the life of the HEPA filter. Comes with a seven year warranty (not including filters). Made in Canada.
- 5th. Ultra Violet Lamps prevent mold, mildew, bacteria, fungal growth and viruses from growing on the irradiated surfaces such as the coil of the air handler; Prevents slime build up in the drain pan and improves air handler system efficiency and performance. Made in America and LEED Accreditation!
