Big lots between South Austin and Buda
Manchaca stretches along Manchaca Road and FM 1626 in southern Travis County, close enough to the city for an easy commute but with a country feel. Older houses sit on wide lots with big trees, sheds and workshops out back. Newer neighborhoods have filled in around them. Plenty of households here keep dogs and gardens, and the house stays shut up all day while everyone is at work or school.
That daily pattern builds a bio-load, our word for the fine particles that settle in the air, on surfaces and inside the HVAC system. What Is Your Home's Bio-Load? explains it.
Old house on acreage or new build next door?
The older place on a big lot. Decades-old ductwork and an attic full of dust mean each AC cycle blows a little of that dust back into the rooms.
The newer, tighter house. Energy-saving construction lets in less outside air, so whatever builds up inside has fewer ways out. Read New Homes, Tight Homes.
Either one, with a yard. Dogs, cats and garden work carry dust, dander and pollen in every day. See our guide to pets and indoor air.
Either one, in August. Humid Gulf air keeps indoor moisture up for much of the year. Our humidity guide shows how to hold it in the right range.
What the crew does on treatment day
Before we arrive, you set the AC to 68 degrees. The crew then runs the patented VaPURE dry fog system, whose droplets are about 7 microns across. Positive pressure spreads the fog through the rooms, closets and HVAC ductwork, where it helps control the growth of odor-causing microorganisms on hard, non-porous surfaces and temporarily reduces airborne particulates as it settles. A surface protectant goes on next, the same way.
Furniture and floors stay dry. The work takes one day, and you're home that evening after a 4-hour air-out. Our dry fog treatment page has more.
How do I get a price?
Call or send the form, and we'll set up a free phone consultation. A team member asks about the house, the workshop and anything else on the lot, answers your questions and sends a written quote based on square footage. Nothing is scheduled until you say yes.
Manchaca FAQ
We have a detached workshop with its own AC. Can you include it?
Yes. Mention it on the call, and we'll add it to your quote if you'd like.
How long do we need to be out?
For the treatment itself plus a 4-hour air-out. You sleep at home that night.
