Arizona is well known for its hot climate, dry desert, and
old time wild west stories. Long time
Arizona dwellers do not notice these characteristics as much as visitors
however. Everywhere has A/C, our skin
has adapted to the dry, and the stories are nothing new. We are accustomed to most of the abnormalities
that Arizona has to offer, but there is one issue that is constantly present,
especially for homeowners in the valley, dust.
Cleaning your house on a regular basis should include
dusting off shelves, bookcases, and all other surfaces regardless of where you
live, but Arizona homeowners know the severity of this statement. Maybe you just moved here, or you still live
elsewhere and don’t think it can be that bad.
Either way let me introduce you to the haboob.
Although a haboob is not the only way your house suffers
from dust attacks, it is something you want to prepare for now. A dusty home is
annoying and potentially hazardous to your health since you breathe the same
air that carries the particles, but can easily be fixed.
With typical insulation in your attic and leaky ductwork, you’re
HVAC system is unfortunately bringing dirty air into your home from the attic. However, with spray foam insulation that
creates a continuous air barrier between your home and the outdoors, dust
infiltration is limited to doors and windows.
Additionally, you can seal the ductwork to ensure a cleaner and safer
environment for you and your family.
So, if you have spray foam insulation installed in your home
and ensure your ductwork is sealed well, just don’t open any doors or windows
during a haboob and you should be ok!

these crazy storms, call us today! We would love the opportunity to earn your
