Hill Country homes on acreage
Driftwood is a Hays County community southwest of Austin, spread along FM 1826 and FM 150 between Dripping Springs and Buda. Visitors drive out for the barbecue, the wineries and the event venues. The people who live here have ranch houses, newer custom homes, guest cottages and weekend places, often at the end of a long gravel or caliche drive.
Out here, much of a home's bio-load, the tiny particles that gather in the air, on surfaces and inside the HVAC system, blows in from outside. What Is Your Home's Bio-Load? explains the idea.
What makes a Driftwood house feel stale?
Dust from the land. Caliche roads and dry pasture on a windy day send fine pale dust in with every trip. It settles on top of cabinets and at the return vent, then rides the ducts to every room.
Cedar country. The hills around Driftwood are thick with cedar, and December through February brings its pollen indoors. Our cedar season guide has simple tips.
Dogs, horses and boots. The mudroom and back entry take the brunt, and their smell drifts into the rest of the house.
The casita that sits closed. A guest cottage or weekend place shut between visits can smell stale the moment you open the door. See our guide to closed-up homes.
How does a whole-home treatment reach all of that?
Our patented VaPURE dry fog system turns a hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solution into droplets about 7 microns across, light enough to drift, and positive pressure carries them into every room, closet, crack and crevice and through the ductwork that has been moving caliche dust around. Along the way it helps control the growth of odor-causing microorganisms on hard, non-porous surfaces; as it settles, it temporarily reduces airborne particulates. A second fogging then leaves a surface protectant.
Nothing gets soaked. Both steps finish in one day, and after a 4-hour air-out you sleep at home that night. The dry fog treatment page walks through each step.
