Historic Homes and Busy Neighborhoods
Bryan is the county seat of Brazos County and the older half of Bryan-College Station. Its downtown has been brought back to life with shops and restaurants in century-old buildings, and the streets around it are lined with older homes, bungalows and cottages. Farther out are ranch-style houses from the middle of the last century and newer subdivisions, plus plenty of rentals for students and young families.
Older homes and rentals share one thing: years of living inside them. Every home builds up a bio-load, the tiny particles that collect in the air, on surfaces and inside the HVAC system. Read What Is Your Home's Bio-Load? to learn more.
A Room-by-Room Look at an Older Bryan Home
The closets. Older homes tend to have small closets with no airflow, and the clothes inside can take on a stale smell.
Wood floors and trim. Decades of dust settle into gaps, corners and old built-ins.
Ductwork added later. Many older houses got central air long after they were built, with ducts squeezed into tight attics. Those ducts may never have been cleaned out.
Kitchens. Years of cooking leave a film on cabinet tops and range hoods that holds on to smells. Our kitchen and cooking guide has easy fixes.
Bathrooms. A weak exhaust fan lets damp air hang around after every shower, especially in Brazos Valley humidity.
How the Dry Fog Treatment Helps
We use the patented VaPURE dry fog system. The fog is made of droplets about 7 microns across, fine enough to float into every room, closet, crack and crevice and through your HVAC ductwork, carried by positive pressure. It helps reduce the bio-load and neutralize odors on hard, non-porous surfaces without soaking wood floors, plaster or furniture. As it settles, it temporarily reduces airborne particulates. A surface protectant is applied the same way.
The whole treatment is done in one day, and you're back home the same day after a 2 to 4 hour air-out.
Your Free Phone Consultation
A team member calls you and asks about what makes older homes different: the closets, how the ducts were run and where the system sits. You get a written quote before anything is scheduled.
Bryan FAQ
Is the fog gentle on older finishes?
It's a dry fog, so it doesn't soak wood, plaster or fabric. If you have a special piece, like an antique or a family quilt, mention it during your phone consultation and we'll talk it through.
We just bought an older home. Is now a good time?
Before you move furniture in is a great time, since every closet and cabinet is empty and easy to reach. See our moving-in guide.
