Buda Homes, Old and New
Buda has kept its small-town Main Street while new neighborhoods have filled in along I-35, FM 967 and FM 1626. Many families here commute to Austin, and many moved in within the last ten years. Others live in homes near the historic downtown that have been standing for generations.
The air inside those homes can be very different. But they share a few things: long, humid summers, a busy AC, and plenty of dogs. Buda is well known for its wiener dog races, and plenty of local households have a four-legged family member of their own.
Three Things We Hear From Buda Homeowners
"The house smells like the dog, even after I clean." Pet odors don't just live in the dog bed. Dander and oils settle into carpet, couches, curtains and the inside of your ductwork. Every time the AC kicks on, it can pull some of that smell back through the house. Our pet odors guide explains where those smells hide.
"Our new house still smells like paint and carpet." Newer homes are sealed tight to save energy. That helps with your bills, but it also means smells from new materials can hang around for a long time.
"The house just feels stuffy." This one is common in homes of every age. Stale air often comes from a mix of humidity, dust in the ducts and closed-up rooms that don't get much airflow. Our list of 10 places your home's air gets stale is a good place to start.
All three come back to your home's bio-load: the tiny particles and microbes that build up in the air, on surfaces and inside the HVAC over the years.
What the Whole-Home Dry Fog Treatment Does
Pure Maintenance Austin uses the patented Pure Maintenance VaPURE dry fog system. Step one fills your home with a very fine dry fog of a hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solution. It reaches every room, closet and the ductwork, helps reduce the bio-load and neutralize odors on hard surfaces, and breaks down into water, oxygen and vinegar. Step two adds a surface protectant, applied the same way.
The droplets float instead of falling, so nothing gets soaked. The dry fog treatment is finished in one day. You and your pets spend the day out of the house, and the team lets you know when it's time to come home. Read more on the dry fog treatment page.
Your Free Phone Consultation
We'll set up your free phone consultation at a time that suits you. A team member goes over the home with you by phone, room by room. We'll ask about pets, where smells seem strongest, and how the house feels in summer. We'll also ask about your HVAC system and filter.
Then a Comfort Advisor walks you through your options and sends you a written quote based on square footage. You decide what's right for your home.
Buda FAQ
Do our dogs need to leave the house on treatment day?
Yes. Pets leave the house with you for the day, just like people do. Plan on a dog-friendly outing or a visit with friends. When the team says the home is ready, everyone can come back in. If you have questions about a pet's health, check with your vet.
Will it help with the smell from an older dog?
Many pet owners call us for exactly that. The dry fog reaches every room, closet, crack and crevice, plus the ductwork where pet smells collect, and helps neutralize odors on hard surfaces. For stubborn pet odors, ask about our Odor Treatment. For the best result, wash pet bedding and blankets before treatment day.
We live near Onion Creek. Does that change anything?
Homes near creeks and green space often see more pollen and outdoor moisture. We'll ask about humidity at your consultation. If you've had a leak or water in the house, we'll talk about that too. We don't perform or collect lab testing. If you'd like your air tested, or you've had a leak or visible growth, start with an independent state-licensed professional.
