Indoor Air Quality Services in the Kent & Puyallup Area

Washington Humidifiers, Air Cleaners & Dehumidifiers

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air. As you can imagine, the quality of your indoor air is extremely important. You spend much of your time indoors, and breathing dirty air can be harmful to your health.

Without proper attention, the air in your Kent, Auburn, or Seattle home can abound with many air quality risks-including dust, mold, solvents, and more. The indoor air quality will depend on humidity, the age of your home, the type of heating, the choice of furnishing and insulation materials, the presence of pets or smokers, and more. Balancing your home’s indoor air means keeping aware of risk factors and avoiding them where you can.

What Causes Indoor Air Pollution?

There are several possible sources for indoor air pollution. A few of the most common include volatile organic compounds, mold, bacteria, and dust.

Volatile Organic Compounds

You’d be shocked if you knew how many things in your home release toxins, known as volatile organic compounds. Some come from furniture and building materials, which can emit fumes, especially when new. Compressed wood products, new carpets, and vinyl flooring fall into this category. A more common culprit is our household cleaning and grooming products, including hairspray, acetone, perfume, ammonia, bleach, and other strong chemicals.

Mold, Bacteria, Dust & More

Other airborne contaminants include mold spores (these can even come from the indoor coil), bacteria, viruses, allergens, pet dander, and smoke. Unfortunately, all of these come from living in a home and are not easily avoidable.

So, what’s the solution to your indoor air dilemma? Professional indoor air technicians can measure and assess the quality of your air. Once you know the actual need for services, your technician can make a recommendation for how to proceed.

Indoor Air Quality Products for Your Kent, Auburn & Renton Home

Whole-House Dehumidifiers

A combination of high heat and humidity can plague Kent-area homeowners, forcing your cooling equipment to work harder and frequently fall behind. A whole-house dehumidifier can not only solve this issue but can also provide some much-needed protection against mold, mildew, moisture stains, and even musty odors. If you’re tired of sweaty walls and sticky skin, then a fully integrated dehumidifier system is the ideal solution.

If, however, mold and mildew have come into your bathroom and are rapidly growing, you are in need of a full-scale clean and change, to kill what is already there and prevent it from coming back. Sealants on showers and baths can harbor a lot of mold if they are not cleaned regularly, changing to seamless glass shower doors can help cut down on the amount of sealant used and will be easier to clean frequently. You will need to treat all areas before the installation of any new bathroom equipment/accessories to make sure the mold and mildew don’t return.

Whole-House Humidifiers

The outdoor humidity might be high year-round in Kent, but if your home is equipped with a modern AC and heating system you might have the opposite problem indoors! Are you faced with dry air in your home? Do you experience frequent dry skin, or are your allergies aggravated by the dry air you’re stuck with? If so, you don’t have to be stuck! A whole-home humidifier directly integrates with your HVAC system and supplies just the right amount of moisture, helping you feel better, breathe easier, and enjoy better efficiency from your heating and cooling systems.

Air Filtration Systems

Pollen, mold spores, dust — all common pollutants found outdoors, right? Yes, but according to the EPA, you can find them in much denser quantities somewhere else: indoors! Air filters and air filtration systems offer one of the simplest and most cost-efficient methods of removing indoor air pollutants. With the addition of a new filtration system, you can expect less mess in the air and less mess gumming up your HVAC system, helping boost comfort in the home.

EAC Cleaners

Electronic air cleaners take the principles of a simple air filtration system and take them a step further. Not only do they make use of a pollutant-trapping filter, but they also utilize electronic ionization — a process that literally attracts and removes particulate matter in your air. This slightly more forcible method drastically improves the overall effectiveness of your air filtration, helping to not only remove dust and debris, but also smoke, VOCs, funky odors, and more!

FAQs About Indoor Air Quality

Should you be concerned about indoor air quality in Kent, WA?

Many homeowners mistakenly believe that indoor air quality is always better than outdoor air quality. The reality is that the opposite is usually the case. Pet dander, dust, chemical fumes, VOCs, and other pollutants can accumulate within your home and circulate through the home’s air supply with ease.

How can you reduce the impact of allergies?

High-quality HEPA filters can remove a significant amount of dust, debris, dander, and allergens from circulation. These simple tools go a long way toward helping you breathe easier. Coupled with air purifiers, duct cleaning, regular HVAC maintenance, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers, there are many ways to help keep allergens from ruining your day.

How does humidity affect the indoor air quality within Kent, WA homes?

High humidity makes it possible for mold and dust mites to grow and reproduce. High humidity can also lead to condensation on windows. Conversely, low humidity can make it easier for bacteria and viruses to multiply. All of these can negatively affect indoor air quality and your family’s comfort, which is why it is crucial to maintain a balance throughout the seasons.

How can you protect your family from COVID-19?

A solid filter can help reduce the ability of COVID-19 to circulate throughout your home. However, there is no confirmed filter or other product that can fully eliminate the virus from your home’s air supply. Knowledge of this virus is still very limited, and consumers should be very wary of any product or manufacturer that claims their device can remove the coronavirus, the virus that causes COVID-19, from the home. The best way to keep the coronavirus out of your home is to regularly disinfect frequently touched surfaces, according to the CDC. Wash your hands frequently, even when at home, avoid touching your face, and practice social distancing to the extent you can.

How can you eliminate cold spots in a Kent, WA home?

Even the most well-built homes are susceptible to cold spots here and there. Maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the home requires having the appropriately sized HVAC systems, as well as vents, doors, and windows in the right places. Many times, cold and hot spots are the result of improperly sized HVAC systems, incorrect vents, and poor circulation caused by damage to the ductwork.
