From farm town to new subdivisions
Jarrell sits on I-35 in northern Williamson County, between Georgetown and Salado, on open prairie farmland. Not long ago it was a small farm town. Now new subdivisions fill the fields, and families come up from Austin, Round Rock and beyond for more house and a little more room.
A new house is built tight to hold in cool air, and it holds in everything else too: drywall dust, new-carpet and paint smells, cooking and pets. That buildup is part of a home's bio-load, the tiny particles that collect in the air, on surfaces and inside the HVAC system. Our new homes guide explains more.
Why does a new Jarrell home feel stale?
Construction dust. Sanding and finishing work leave fine dust in the ducts and in closets you haven't opened yet.
The new-home smell. Paint, carpet, cabinets and adhesives give off odors for the first months.
Open floor plans. With no walls between them, dinner in the kitchen is dinner in every room.
Lots still being built. With the prairie wind blowing, dust from graded lots on the next street drifts in whenever the door opens.
What does the dry fog treatment do in a new home?
Pure Maintenance Austin's patented VaPURE system makes droplets about 7 microns across, fine enough to float, and positive pressure carries them into every room, closet, crack and crevice and through the new ductwork. There it helps control the growth of odor-causing microorganisms on hard, non-porous surfaces such as countertops, and it temporarily reduces airborne particulates as it settles. Then a surface protectant is fogged on too.
New carpet and cabinets don't get soaked. It's a one-day job with a 4-hour air-out, and you're back inside the same day. See our dry fog treatment page for the steps.

Jarrell FAQ
When is the best time for a new home?
Right before you move in is ideal, when closets and cabinets are empty. Many families also book one after the first year, once construction on the surrounding streets settles down.
Should we change our air filter first?
It's a good habit. A fresh filter before and after the treatment helps, since new-home dust loads filters fast. Our HVAC fan settings guide has more simple tips.
