Get ahead of humidity

Find small problems before they grow

Florida humidity works on your home every day. A clogged A/C drain line backs up. A bathroom exhaust fan that vents into the attic leaves moisture where it can do damage. A worn supply line lets go when no one is home.

These are small problems. They are cheap to fix on your schedule, and expensive at 2 a.m.

What's included in your $289 visit

Dryer vent cleaning

We clean your dryer vent from the dryer to the exterior exit with rotary brushes and a HEPA vacuum. We take airflow readings before and after, so you see the difference. A clear dryer vent reduces fire risk, shortens drying times and eases wear on your dryer.

Dryer vent cleaning on its own

Two bathroom exhaust fans

We clean the fan unit, blades and cover, and the exhaust duct that carries air outside. We check that each fan actually vents outdoors. A fan that vents into the attic leaves moisture behind, which can lead to attic and ceiling mold. We clean fans; we do not replace fans or repair vents.

A/C condensate drain line flush

We clear and flush the drain line from the outside and treat it for algae. A clogged drain line can back up and overflow, which can cause ceiling and wall water damage. One A/C unit is included.

Home water-risk check

A visual check of the spots where water trouble starts, with photos and a written summary:

  • Main water shutoff. We find it, try operating it, and attach a waterproof tag with our phone number so anyone in your home can find it fast. If the valve will not operate, we tell you and refer you to a preferred plumber.
  • Supply lines. We check the braided supply lines and angle stops for your washer, toilets and sinks, and photograph anything worn, corroded or leaking.
  • Moisture readings. We take moisture meter readings under bathrooms, around the water heater, near the washer and by the A/C closet.
  • Water heater. We note its age, look for rust or leaks at the base, and check for a pan and drain.
  • A/C air handler. We photograph any staining or moisture around it from the outside. If we see something, we point you to a licensed HVAC contractor. We do not open or work on the unit.

We do not open walls or make plumbing or HVAC repairs.

Optional add-on

Bathroom ceiling mold treatment

Dark spots on a bathroom ceiling usually come from shower humidity, and paint alone will not keep them from coming back.

We clean and treat the ceiling, up to 10 square feet of visible mold growth per bathroom, and seal it with a mold-inhibiting primer. The fan and exhaust duct cleaning in your visit helps keep shower humidity from building up again. It costs $375 per bathroom, available only as an add-on to the Water Damage Prevention Visit, and it is a good fit for landlords and property managers.

More than 10 square feet, or mold beyond the ceiling? See mold removal and remediation.
