Reason for Treatment
The recommendation should be tied to a specific condition found during inspection.
Professional home service
Sanitation is an optional treatment. It should never replace physical cleaning, duct repair or correction of a moisture problem.
When a treatment is appropriate, the reason for using it, the product, the application area and any precautions should be explained before you approve the service.
Clean first, treat second
Physical buildup should be removed before an optional sanitation treatment is considered. If the ductwork has a moisture source, damaged material or another underlying problem, that issue also needs to be addressed separately.
We keep sanitation separate from the cleaning scope so you know exactly why it is being recommended and what the treatment is intended to do.
What we look at
The right scope depends on the actual property, not a one-size-fits-all package.
The recommendation should be tied to a specific condition found during inspection.
Ask what product is being used and what surfaces are included.
The treatment area should be clearly defined before service.
Treatment does not correct water intrusion or humidity problems.
Physical damage requires repair or replacement, not a sanitizer.
Keep optional treatment clearly separated from the cleaning scope.
What sanitation does not replace
