A City That's Always Moving
Killeen grew up alongside Fort Cavazos, the Army post long known as Fort Hood. Military families arrive and leave on their own schedule, often with just a few weeks' notice. That means a huge share of Killeen homes are rentals or recent purchases, and many change hands every few years.
Every move leaves something behind in a house. Previous owners' pets, cooking, cleaning products and smoke all soak into carpets, closets and the HVAC system. A quick make-ready clean and a new coat of paint handle what you can see, but not the air in the ducts or the dust at the back of a closet shelf.
Over time, that buildup becomes what we call a home's bio-load: the tiny particles and microbes that collect in the air, on surfaces and inside the HVAC. Learn more in What Is Your Home's Bio-Load?
Why Indoor Air Matters for Killeen Families
- Moving in. You want your family's new home to feel like yours, not smell like the last family's dog. Our guide to moving into a new home has a simple checklist for the first few weeks.
- Pets. Many military families move with dogs and cats, and so did the families before them. Pet smells hide in carpet pads, vents and closets. See Pet Odors and Indoor Air for what helps.
- Rentals and PCS moves. If you're a landlord or you're renting your home out while you're stationed somewhere else, a treatment between tenants helps each new family start fresh.
- Long, hot summers. Killeen runs the AC for much of the year, so whatever is in the house gets recirculated again and again.
What the Dry Fog Treatment Does
Our whole-home dry fog treatment uses the patented Pure Maintenance VaPURE dry fog system in two steps. First, a very fine dry fog of a hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solution moves through every room, closet and the ductwork. It helps reduce the bio-load and neutralize odors on hard surfaces, then breaks down into water, oxygen and vinegar. Second, a surface protectant is applied as a dry fog too.
Because the droplets are so fine, they float and settle without leaving things wet. The dry fog treatment is done in one day. The best time is often before your household goods arrive, when every closet and cabinet is empty. Read more on our dry fog treatment page.
Your Free Phone Consultation
Killeen is within our service area, which covers all of Central Texas, out to College Station (about 2.5 hours). We travel from Austin on treatment day, so we'll plan ahead with you. If you're on a tight move-in window, call as early as you can so we can find a time that works.
A team member calls you, asks what you've noticed, and asks about your HVAC system, filter and returns. Then we send a written quote based on square footage. There's no pressure and no obligation.
Killeen FAQ
We're still out of state. Can we plan the treatment before we arrive?
Yes, it's worth starting the conversation early. Call us with your expected move-in dates and we'll talk through how to set up the treatment.
I own a rental near post. How does a treatment fit into a turnover?
The dry fog treatment is done in one day, so it fits between the last clean and the next move-in. Our guide for rental turnovers walks landlords and property managers through the timing.
The last tenants smoked. Will the treatment help?
It helps reduce odors in the air, on surfaces and in the ducts. Heavy smoke usually also calls for cleaning or replacing things like carpet, pads and blinds. We'll give you an honest read during your phone consultation.
