When you have a building that has poor humidity control mold and poor air quality becomes an issue for your HVAC and air ducts. The recommendation from the Us Environmental Protection Agency is for professional remediation if any sign of mold, mildew, odor, or pollution is seen. Mold in commercial and residential air ducts can produce a musty odor that is very unpleasant and harmful. This is a serious issue as it can cost a lot of money to commercial building owners and homeowners.
The only real solution for a mold infestation is to control the humidity in the building. It is recommended by ASHRAE to keep the humidity below 60%. If it is not controlled, mold spores will easily grow back. They are nearly impossible to eliminate. Mold is very resilient.
Knowing that mold is almost impossible to get rid of and creates a lot of damage to the building, your health and productivity, it needs urgent attention when it affects the HVAC installation. In most environments, it can spread like wildfire when it is left with no attention. IAC Professionals has protected the Tri-State and Long Island businesses and homes from these harmful conditions inside their air ducts for over 30 years.
What is the importance of a good HVAC inspection and air care maintenance company?
When mold starts to attack the components of the HVAC such as the air handlers and duct work, it becomes very challenging to fix the infestation. The first question you should be asking, “Is there a mold infestation in my air ducts and vents?” This seems like an easy question to answer. Although, it is not as the accumulation of dirt can seem like a mold infestation at times. That means the first step that must be taken is to ensure there is a mold issue through a mold test and an adequate inspection. IAC visits your building or home, inspects every inch of the air ducts to create an effective strategy to clean the air.
Once there has been a determination a mold issue exists, it is time to make some decisions. What components that are affected can be cleaned? What components will need to be replaced and discarded? IAC offers business owners and homeowners each solution needed to fix the poor air quality.
For example, IAC took on a recent job in the Hampton’s on Eastern Long Island. The fiberglass of the building’s duct work was infected by mold and needed to be replaced asap. IAC took the call, inspected the system and removed the moldy poor air from the entire building. On the other hand, the non-porous components and metallic ducts were not affected as much, IAC simply cleaned these parts to keep it protected.
