Why Indoor Air Matters in Round Rock
Round Rock grew fast in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Much of the city is made up of subdivisions from those years, with two-story homes, open living areas and attached garages. Many of those houses are now 15 to 30 years old, and they have spent every one of those years running the AC for most of the year.
That age brings a few common patterns we see in Round Rock homes:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned out. Twenty-some summers of air moving through the same ducts leaves dust and buildup inside, and the system blows some of it back into your rooms every time it kicks on.
- Upstairs rooms that feel stuffy. Two-story homes often have a second system or long duct runs to the upstairs, and those rooms can feel warmer and staler than the rest of the house.
- Garage air drifting in. When the garage shares a wall or door with the house, car exhaust, lawn equipment and stored chemicals can add smells to the air inside.
- Kids, pets and busy schedules. Sports gear, backpacks, pet beds and a lot of cooking all add to what builds up indoors.
Round Rock also gets the same muggy Central Texas air as the rest of the region. Homes near Brushy Creek and other green spaces see plenty of pollen and outdoor moisture, and cedar season and spring oak pollen find their way in too. Together this raises your 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?
What the Whole-Home Dry Fog Treatment Does
Our 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 the whole home, including closets, the backs of shelves 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 the same way.
Because the droplets are so fine, they float and settle without soaking anything. We use gentle positive pressure to push the fog into every room, upstairs and down. The dry fog treatment is done in one day. Get the full picture on our dry fog treatment page.
What a Free Phone Consultation Looks Like
A team member calls you to learn about your Round Rock home. We'll ask where the house smells or feels different, whether you have one floor or two, and about your HVAC system, return vents and filter. Kids' rooms, the laundry room and the room by the garage door get extra attention.
Then we send a written quote based on square footage. You decide what makes sense for your family, with no pressure.
Round Rock FAQ
Our house is about 20 years old. Is that a good time for a treatment?
For many families, yes. That's about when a home has had time to build up a real bio-load in the ducts, carpets and closets. A whole-home treatment is a good reset, and many people pair it with a fresh filter and an HVAC tune-up.
Do you treat both floors of a two-story home?
Yes. The fog is pushed through the whole house, including every upstairs bedroom, closet and bathroom, plus the ductwork serving each floor.
What if our AC or ducts need work?
Our sister company Gold Eagle Services handles HVAC work in Round Rock, from coil cleaning and new filters to duct work and whole-home dehumidifiers. It usually makes sense to take care of any repairs first.
How long will we be out of the house?
Plan on being gone for most of the day. Many families time it for a work and school day, or a game at Dell Diamond. The team will tell you when it's ready, the same day.
