Dry Fog Treatment in Austin (Pure Maintenance)

Pure Maintenance uses a patented dry fog system that turns its treatment solutions into a very fine, dry mist. The mist fills the house and reaches every room, closet, crack and crevice, plus the inside of the ductwork: the places a rag and a vacuum never get to.

The treatment has two steps:

1. A dry fog. A hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solution that breaks down into water, oxygen and a trace of vinegar. It helps control odor-causing microbes on hard, non-porous surfaces and temporarily reduces airborne particulates as the fog settles.
2. A surface protectant. A second product applied to the treated hard surfaces after the fog.

Pure Maintenance calls the goal reducing the bio-load: the microscopic particles and microbes that collect in a home’s air, on its surfaces and in its HVAC system over time. The droplets are small enough to stay suspended and drift through the space instead of soaking what they land on. Ask the technician which products will be used in your home, and for their labels and safety data sheets.

Dry fog treats the whole house in one visit: air, surfaces and ducts together. Common reasons Austin homeowners book one:

• Stale or lingering odors, once the source has been found and fixed
• Pets, or smells that hang on after a deep clean
• A move into a new home, or a home getting ready to sell
• Rentals and short-term rentals between tenants or guests
• A house that has been closed up for a long stretch

Dry fog is one step in a plan, not a cure-all:

• It doesn’t fix moisture. A clogged AC drain, sweating ducts or high indoor humidity has to be corrected first.
• It doesn’t repair damaged materials. Wet, rotted or damaged drywall, insulation or duct materials need to be repaired or replaced.
• It isn’t a testing service. Pure Maintenance doesn’t perform or collect lab testing. If you want your air tested, or you’ve had a leak, water damage or visible growth, start with an independent state-licensed professional.

Mold in your AC system or ductwork? Call Gold Eagle Services, a licensed Texas mold remediation company that handles HVAC mold (licenses TACLA119235 and RCO1783). Mold in walls, the attic or belongings goes to a general mold remediation company. See HVAC restoration.

• Before the team arrives: run the main HVAC system down to 68 degrees to pull indoor humidity down.
• Treatment day: the treatment takes one day, and people and pets stay out while it runs.
• Afterward: the house airs out, empty, for 2 to 4 hours, then you move back in the same day.

The Pure Maintenance team tells you ahead of time what, if anything, to cover or set aside.

Dry fog does the most good in a house whose HVAC system isn’t feeding the problem. That part is our work:

• Air duct cleaning: dust, debris and damaged ductwork
• Indoor air quality: filtration, ventilation and whole-home dehumidifiers
• Odor removal: tracking down where a smell starts
