Country Living Comes Indoors
Liberty Hill still feels like a small Hill Country town, even as new neighborhoods fill in the land around it. Some families live in older farmhouses and ranch homes on a few acres. Others have moved into subdivisions built in just the last few years. Both kinds of homes deal with a lot of the outdoors coming inside.
Here's what we hear about most from homeowners around Liberty Hill:
- Dust from caliche roads, fields and construction. Gravel drives, pastures and new building sites send fine dust into the air, and it finds its way in through doors, windows and the HVAC return.
- Cedar everywhere. The hills west of town are thick with Ashe juniper. In winter, cedar season can coat cars, porches and pets, and some of that ends up indoors.
- Animals. Dogs that come in from the pasture, barn cats, and boots worn out to the horses all carry in smells and particles.
- Homes that sit empty. Weekend places and homes waiting on a sale can sit closed for weeks, and the air turns stale fast in the heat.
Over the years this adds to a home's bio-load: the tiny particles and microbes that build up in the air, on surfaces and in the ductwork. Our Central Texas humidity guide also explains why muggy summer air makes indoor smells hang around longer.
What the Treatment Does
Our whole-home dry fog treatment uses the patented Pure Maintenance VaPURE dry fog system. It's a two-step process:
- First, a very fine dry fog of a hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solution drifts 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 goes on as a dry fog too.
The droplets are small enough to float rather than fall, so they settle on surfaces without soaking them. Gentle positive pressure pushes the fog through the whole house, including large and spread-out floor plans. The dry fog treatment is done in one day. Read the full details on our dry fog treatment page.
Your Free Phone Consultation
Liberty Hill is well within our service area, which covers all of Central Texas, out to College Station (about 2.5 hours). We'll set up your free phone consultation for a day and time that works for you.
On the call, a team member asks where the air feels heavy or smells off. They'll ask about your HVAC system, filter and returns, and note things like a mudroom, a back door the dogs use, or a closed-off guest wing. After that, a Comfort Advisor reviews your options and sends you a written quote based on square footage, with no pressure.
Common Questions From Liberty Hill Homeowners
We live out in the country with a lot of dust. Will the treatment last forever?
No treatment can stop dust from blowing in. The treatment gives your home a fresh start, and simple habits help it last longer: a good door mat, shoes off at the door, and changing your HVAC filter more often during dry, windy months.
Our house has an older AC system. Should that be looked at first?
It's a good idea. A clean filter and a working system help any treatment do its job, so if your AC has been acting up, have your HVAC company take care of it first. Our sister company, Gold Eagle Services, has helpful tips on filters and system care.
Do you treat homes on large properties?
Yes. We treat the main living space and its ductwork. If you have a guest house or finished shop, bring it up at your consultation and we'll talk through it.
