What’s that smell?

January 22, 2008 By: John Category: Duct Cleaning Info, Indoor Air Quality, Uncategorized No Comments →

People often call us not only because their air ducts are dirty, but because when their HVAC system comes on, a horrible smell emanates throughout the house.

What’s that smell, is the question. Alot of times a mouse or little Suzie’s pet gerbil finds its way into the duct system creating havoc for itself and eventually the unsuspecting homeowner. It finds its way in, but unfortunately, it cannot find its way out, and succumbs to the darkness of the ducts.

It may take a few days for you to notice, but eventually the rodent starts to decompose and that’s when the foul smell starts pouring out your registers and into the house.

It is virtually impossible for the homeowner to correct this problem, and that’s where we come in. A quick scan of the duct’s interior will tell us where the problem is and in no time the rodent is removed and your ducts are disinfected and sanitized. Problem solved, except for breaking the sad news to little ‘Suzie’ about what happened to her pet.
