A railroad town on US 290
Manor sits on US 290 just east of Austin, on flat prairie cut by Gilleland Creek. It began as a small railroad town, and a few older homes still line the streets near the old downtown. Around them, new subdivisions have filled in the farmland, and families keep arriving for newer houses and an easy drive into the city.
A new house is sealed tight to hold in cool air, so it also holds in dust, new-home smells, cooking and pet odors. 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. New Homes, Tight Homes explains why.
What makes a new Manor home smell stale?
Construction next door. When your street, or the one behind it, is still going up, fine dust finds its way inside and into the ducts.
New materials. Paint, flooring and cabinets give off smells for the first months.
Open kitchens. Tonight's dinner reaches the upstairs bedrooms.
Houses that change hands. Starter homes and rentals carry the last owner's pets and cooking. See our moving-in guide.
What does the treatment do?
The patented VaPURE dry fog system puts out droplets of about 7 microns that float instead of soaking carpet or cabinets, and positive pressure carries them into every room, closet, crack and crevice and through the ductwork. Inside, the fog helps control the growth of odor-causing microorganisms on hard, non-porous surfaces, and as it settles it temporarily reduces airborne particulates. A surface protectant follows.
It takes one day, start to finish. After a 4-hour air-out, you're back home the same day. The dry fog treatment page shows what happens at each step.

Manor FAQ
Should we treat before we move in?
It's the easiest time. Empty closets and cabinets are simple for the fog to reach, and you start out in a fresh home.
How often do people book this?
Many families book once when they move in, then again every year or two, or after a remodel, a new pet or a stretch of heavy construction nearby.
