Fog-cooled coastal valley with persistent marine humidity. Fog-belt homes where chronic dampness meets ventilation shortfalls in older stock.
Where the work starts in Salinas
- Fog-side and north-facing elevations for chronic condensation loading
- Unvented wall cavities and single-pane condensation zones in original assemblies
- Shower and tub assemblies past their service life
- Water-heater closets and laundry connections
- Attic-side bath-fan ducting and termination
What's included
- Opened-equipment inspection: coil compartment, blower assembly, plenum interiors
- Duct material assessment: sheet metal versus porous liner and duct board
- Mechanical cleaning of metal components that can be verified clean
- Replacement of colonized porous components — liner, duct board, affected flex
- Condensate system correction: drainage, pan, float switch
- Filtration upgrade sized to the system's static pressure, sealed against bypass
- Blind duct cleaning with no equipment inspection
- Fogging 'sanitizer' through the ductwork
- UV lights sold as remediation for an already-contaminated system
A mechanical system that passes opened-equipment inspection and supports — rather than sabotages — your whole-house clearance.
