Family Homes in the Hills
West Lake Hills sits just west of downtown Austin, up the hill from Lake Austin along Bee Caves Road and Loop 360. It's a small city of wooded lots, live oaks and limestone, and it's home to a lot of families who came for the neighborhoods and the Eanes schools. Many houses are large, with several levels stepped into the hillside, and plenty of older homes have been remodeled or rebuilt.
A bigger house has more places for stale air to settle: more rooms, more closets, more ductwork and often more than one HVAC system. Over the years, everyday life builds up a home's bio-load, the tiny particles that collect in the air, on surfaces and inside the HVAC system. Read What Is Your Home's Bio-Load? to learn more.
Where West Lake Hills Homes Hold On to Stale Air
Nurseries and kids' rooms. Toys, bedding, stuffed animals and closets packed with clothes that don't fit anymore. Our nurseries and kids' rooms guide has simple tips for keeping them fresh.
Lower levels built into the hill. Rooms set into the slope can feel cooler and more humid than the rest of the house, and game rooms and guest suites down there may sit unused for days.
Several HVAC systems. Larger homes often have two or three systems, each with its own ductwork that collects buildup over time.
Remodels. Fine dust from a remodel can end up in closets and ducts long after the crew leaves.
Cedar season. The hills are full of Ashe juniper, and winter pollen finds its way indoors. See our cedar season guide.
How the Dry Fog Treatment Helps
Pure Maintenance Austin uses the patented VaPURE dry fog system. The droplets are about 7 microns, far finer than a sprayer's, so the fog floats instead of soaking things. Positive pressure carries it into every room, closet, crack and crevice on every level, and through the ductwork of every HVAC system. It helps reduce the home's bio-load and neutralize odors on hard, non-porous surfaces, and it temporarily reduces airborne particulates as it settles. A surface protectant follows the same way.
Toys, furniture and belongings stay right where they are, and nothing gets wet. The treatment is done in one day. After a 2 to 4 hour air-out, the family is back home the same day.

West Lake Hills FAQ
Can you work around our kids' school schedule?
Yes. Many families book on a school day, when the kids are already out of the house. You're back home the same day after the air-out.
Do we need to pack up the playroom?
No. Most things stay right where they are. Open closets, drawers and toy chests so the fog can reach inside. Our prepare for your treatment page has the full checklist.
Our house has three AC systems. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We ask about each system during your phone consultation, and the fog goes through all of the ductwork.
