How do I know if my central vacuum is clogged?

• <div><p>It can be difficult to know right away if your central vacuum is clogged since it operates quietly compared to regular vacuums. However, there are a couple of signs you can look for. If you feel like it’s losing suction or isn’t cleaning effectively, then there’s likely a clog somewhere. </p><p>Make sure you turn the vacuum on and feel the end of the hose handle. If you don’t feel any suction, then you’re dealing with a clog in the hose. You can see if the clog is further down in the system by attaching the hose to each outlet until you find the one with the least amount of suction.</p></div>

Q: Is a portable vacuum the same as a central vacuum?

• <div><p>No. Only the hose or the attachments are portable in a central vacuum system. A portable vacuum is a standalone model like a stick, canister, or upright. A central vacuum system is defined by a central power unit, which is installed in one place like an AC unit, and the connected network of piping to funnel the suction.</p></div>

Q: What is involved in routine maintenance by professionals?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.</p></div>

Q: What types of repairs don’t require caulking?

• <div><p>While caulking is handy for quite a bit of jobs, it&rsquo;s still limited. Any crack or gap larger than 1/4 inch is best left for a more intensive repair job. When you hire house painters, they should run a thorough check to see what they need to repair before they start the job.</p><p>Large repairs that caulking typically won&rsquo;t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.</p></div>

Q: How many years does a central vacuum last?

• <div><p>One advantage of a central vacuum system is that it can last for a very long time, especially when it&rsquo;s well-maintained. You can expect a high-quality system to last at least 20 years. At this time, you may need to replace the main power unit, but the central vac system can continue functioning with new parts.</p></div>

Kamaty Maid Service did an excellent job with our move-out cleaning. She was pleasant and did a fantastic job! She got us out of a bind by being able to come the same day I contacted her. I would highly recommend her service.
