What to know about indoor air quality in Friendswood

Friendswood sits between Houston and Galveston along Clear Creek, and some neighborhoods flooded during past storms. If your outdoor unit or air handler has ever been in water, mention it, since flood damage can shorten a system's life. Closer to the coast, humidity stays high, so good moisture control matters as much as cooling.

  • High indoor humidity feels sticky and encourages mold. The EPA suggests keeping indoor humidity below 60%, ideally 30–50%.
  • A higher-rated air filter (MERV) catches more pollen and dust, but check that your system can handle it.
  • After flooding or roof leaks, have ducts and the air handler inspected for mold.
  • Ask whether a whole-home dehumidifier makes sense for your house.

Indoor air quality questions from Friendswood homeowners

Do I need duct cleaning?

Not on a set schedule. It can help after renovation dust, pests or water damage. Ask the company what they found before agreeing to it.

Why is my house humid even with the AC on?

An oversized AC, a dirty coil or airflow problems can leave humidity high. A technician can check.
