The fall season is upon us, and the leaves will soon begin to change colors. Unfortunately, allergies can be a problem in the fall, just like in the spring and summer. We’ve discussed the correlation between dirty air ducts and allergies on the blog before. Today, Superior Air Duct Cleaning explains the causes and symptoms of fall allergies, and what you can do to manage them.

The Causes Of Fall Allergies
People who have spring allergies also tend to develop a ragweed allergy in the fall months. Ragweed, a pollen-releasing plant found all over the U.S., can multiply in fields or empty lots. Peak ragweed season runs until mid-September, but it can extend into October in some regions.
Mold is another common allergy trigger. Wet spots outside, such as damp piles of leaves, are optimal breeding places for mold. Lastly, dust mites can cause sneezing and runny noses. Schools are common areas for mold and dust mites, so kids often experience allergies when they return to school.

The Symptoms of Fall Allergies
Those who suffer from fall allergies, typically experience watery eyes, sneezing, and coughing. But other symptoms may include a runny nose, itchy eyes, and dark circles under the eyes.
Tips To Manage Fall Allergies
It’s not easy to avoid fall allergies. However, you can take certain precautions:
- Keep your doors and windows closed at home.
- Shut the car windows when driving.
- Use a HEPA filter or air humidifier to maintain low levels of airborne pollen.
- Vacuum floors and surfaces regularly.
- Wear a filter mask when raking leaves or mowing the lawn.
- Consider steroid nasal sprays or decongestants for your nose.
If you’ve tried these things and you’re still going through boxes of tissues, ask your doctor or allergist about your treatment options.

Customer Reviews
Superior Air Duct cleaning did a phenomenal job in a timely manner with the tech “Rich” being very professional ,personable and considerate of our property! He explained things as he proceeded and answered all our questions!
I LOVE that they provide before & after photos to see the difference. Give them a try… you won’t regret it

Robert was on schedule and communicated what time he would arrive. He was polite, professional, and respectful of our home. I wanted to wait a couple weeks before posting a review because I wanted to see if the duct cleaning actually made a difference. I am happy to say it did! I vacuum multiple times a week and have already noticed a significant reduction in the amount of dust cleaned up each time. As a home with pets, there will always be something to clean, but getting the ducts cleaned has definitely helped improve the air quality and reduce the dust.

Technician Rob arrived early explained the days agenda and then proceeded to work methodically and meticulously over the next 6+ hours cleaning my ductwork. Courteous and professional they answered all of my questions and went above and beyond the call of duty. They even located an old dusty box of rat poison buried in our vents. My only regret is not finding these guys sooner. As a realtor of 22 years and owner of a newly purchased (now dust free) home I highly recommended!

Excellent service! I’ve used them to clean out my air ducts as well as my dryer vent duct and they are excellent. I was very pleased with both jobs and will continue to use them in the future. Great communication as well- from the time I scheduled the appointment until they were at my door.
