Risks of a variety of health problems increase when duct systems are dirty. Contaminants may include fibers and chemicals from carpeting, formaldehyde and other chemicals from furniture, vapors from cleaning and copiers, hair, dander, dust, dirt, germs from the occupants themselves, bacteria, mold and mildew. According to the American Lung Association, poor indoor air quality contributes to infections, lung cancer, chronic lung diseases such as asthma, as well as headaches, dry eyes, nasal congestion, nausea, and fatigue. The employer who provides a safe environment with the good indoor air quality reaps tremendous benefits such as decreased absenteeism, increased productivity, increased profits, improved employee health, and reduced health costs. Reduce the chances of airborne illnesses by calling us for a free HVAC inspection of your building.
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends proper maintenance of ventilating systems to improve IAQ in public buildings.
The EPA recommends that commercial and light commercial buildings should have their duct systems inspected every 2 years. Residences should also have their duct systems cleaned every 2 years. Hospitals and health care facilities should have their duct systems inspected every year.

Need Help with Indiana roof hail damage? The reputable roofers at Expert Restoration Service can provide help to repair a roof that has suffered from hail damage.
In Indiana, the last few years has resulted in significant amounts of hail damage. Indiana homeowners need to be proactive in checking for hail damage on their roofs. While hail is common throughout the year, in recent years above average hail storms have occurred. Some of these hail storms have produced baseball-sized hail, which is capable creating extensive damage to residential roofs throughout Indianapolis and the surrounding suburbs.
Hail is dangerous to your home's roof, because it decreases the roof's life expectancy. Damage to the asphalt roof occurs when the protective granular surface of the asphalt shingle loosens and falls off. With the granules removed the shingle loses some of its protection, shortening the lifespan of the roof and making it more susceptible to additional damage.
Roofs that sustain hail damage do not always need to be removed immediately. If left undressed with time the damaged shingles could potentially allow water seepage into the roof.
Asphalt shingles are the primary roofing material used on roofs. Below are some common signs your roof has been damaged by a hail storm:
Most policies will cover a roof repair in the event your roof has received damage due to hail. Typically the roof is not repaired, but fully replaced. This is done because the insurance company has recognized the damage to your roof has reduced its life expectancy and its ability to provide protection against potential water damage.
If you are unsure if you homeowner's insurance policy covers hail damage, consult your policy paperwork, or contact your insurance company. Beware of storm chasers going door to door following a storm. Expert Restoration Service has provided an alert and some additional tips about storm chaser scams (link below).
If you have visually inspected your roof and suspect you have hail damage, contact Expert Restoration Service for a professional opinion. Expert Restoration Service will provide you with a full roof inspection, including reviewing potential leakage in the attic.

A roofing storm chaser is a company that moves into your neighborhood, typically right after a major storm. The company seeks out homes to perform roof repairs, often at bargain prices. The company then takes your money, starts the job and either fails to complete the work, or provides inferior work. Legitimate roofers should not ask for payment up front.
If your home is victim of hail damage or other wind generated damage that is related to a storm such as a tornado, make sure you take extra caution to companies going door to door offering to repair your roof.
Indicators that a Roofing Contractor is Legitimate:
** A written labor warranty is of decreased value from a company that does not have a local presence and is only in town because of storm-related work. In other words, if the roof fails it might be very difficult to get the company to follow up for repair.
