Air Duct Cleaning & Restoration
Could the air you breathe making you sick?
On average, we spend about 90 percent of our time indoors. We want our homes and office buildings to be energy efficient to keep running costs down. But, in an effort to seal the air out, we are also sealing the air in. The effects can have serious health consequences.
Did you know indoor air could be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air?
Research shows that indoor pollutants such as dust mite waste, mould, mildew, animal dander, insect waste, and tobacco smoke have been strongly associated with increased respiratory illnesses for people with asthma and allergies.
Biological pollutants like these promote poor indoor air quality and may be a major cause of days lost from work and school. In office buildings, heating, cooling and ventilation systems are frequent sources of biological substances which, when inhaled, can lead to breathing problems.
GAEA’s state-of-the-art equipment, methods and technology help clean and decontaminate air duct systems and reduce the levels of bacteria, mould and viruses from carpets, fabrics and hard surfaces.
In the workplace, Symptoms of ‘Sick Building Syndrome’ include headaches, fatigue, coughing, sneezing, nausea, nose and throat irritation, blurry eyes and difficulty concentrating. Air duct and coil cleaning performed by experienced GAEA technicians can improve the indoor air quality in your workplace. GAEA’s FREE, no-obligation inspection will let know if you’re providing the healthiest work environment for your staff. Treatment can help reduce future microbial contamination.
As a building owner or property manager, you can look to GAEA Restoration Technologies for a professional air quality assurance program. If you have an indoor problem, we can provide an accurate diagnosis, make specific recommendations, decontaminate your building and provide on-going consulting services. GAEA can also assist you with scheduled inspection and maintenance programs to help prevent “Sick Building Syndrome”.
It is estimated that the average 1500 square foot home generates 40 pounds of dust per year. This dust is comprised of bacteria, mold spores, pollen, dust mites, building materials, soot, carpet fibers, fireplace ash, paper, and other particulate matter. Forced air filters that are loaded with these contaminates no longer remove them from the air. Instead they build up in air conditioning ductwork systems. As air circulates through the building ductwork, it picks up these pollutants and spews them back into the air we breathe.
Air handling systems are the prime movers of contaminates throughout the home back to its occupants. Studies show it only takes 5 minutes for mold to completely circulate throughout the air handling unit of a five story building.
GAEA’s process removes odours as it reduces dust and other allergens. Removing the build up of dirt, blockages and debris in your ductwork can also improve airflow increasing heating and cooling efficiency and lowering energy costs.
