Blanco River country
Blanco sits on the Blanco River, with its old county courthouse on the square and a state park right in town. Lavender farms dot the countryside, and the pace is slow on purpose. The houses match that mix: older homes near the square, ranch houses on acreage and weekend places kept by families from Austin and farther off.
Each of them builds up a bio-load in its own way, the fine particles that gather in the air, on surfaces and in the HVAC system. What Is Your Home's Bio-Load? explains the idea.
Which Blanco homes go stale fastest?
The weekend place. Shut from Sunday to Friday, it can meet you with a flat, stale smell when you unlock the door. Our closed-up homes guide covers the empty days.
The ranch house. Every trip to the barn sends dust, grass pollen and a dog or two back through the door.
The stone or older house. Thick walls and small closets hold air in place, and the ducts often went in long after the house was built.
The guest rental. Visitors come for the river and the lavender, and each group leaves a little of its cooking and perfume behind. Our short-term rentals guide walks through a turnover.
What does the dry fog do in a Blanco house?
Our patented VaPURE equipment turns a hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solution into droplets about 7 microns across, light enough to hang in the air. Positive pressure pushes that fog into every room, closet, crack and crevice and through the ductwork. As it settles, it temporarily reduces airborne particulates, and on hard, non-porous surfaces it helps control the growth of odor-causing microorganisms. A surface protectant follows the same path.
Stone, wood trim and upholstery stay dry. The job takes one day, and after a 4-hour air-out the house is yours again the same day.
What do we need to know about the house?
Pick a time and a team member calls you. Tell them how often the house sits empty, which rooms smell worst and how many HVAC systems it has. You'll get a written quote based on square footage before anything goes on the calendar.
Blanco FAQ
Can you treat a rental cabin between bookings?
Yes. The treatment takes one day, so it fits in a gap between guests. Leave room for the 4-hour air-out before the next check-in.
Our home has two HVAC systems. Is that a problem?
No. Mention both on the call, and the fog goes through every run of ductwork.
