Mold Inside Your Air Ducts? How To Get Rid Of Mold In Air Ducts

Do You Suspect A Mold Problem Inside Your Air Ducts and Vents?

Mold infestation typically comes with a moldy odor that you’ll be able to smell throughout your home.  In some cases, you’ll be able to visibly see the mold growing in or around the ducts, vents, and HVAC system.  The mold spores are known for finding hard to reach areas and can quickly spread throughout the ventilation system.  If you suspect a moldy smell growing inside your home, call IAC-Indoor Air Care to get your air ducts cleaned and remove the mold from your HVAC.

What’s Causing Mold To Grow Inside My HVAC Air Ducts?

Any area that’s dark and available to potential water damage or dirt build up is a prime location for mold growth.  Air ducts are known to be vulnerable to dust, dirt, dead skin cells, mold, mildew, animal dander and dead skin cells flowing throughout the indoor air system.  After storms and flooding, mold can easily accumulate due to excess water damage inside the home.

The Benefits Of Air Duct Cleaning

When mold grows within one area of the HVAC system, there is a serious risk of mold and mildew accumulating throughout the entire home’s indoor air.  As soon as the HVAC is turned on and air flow begins, the mold spores will flow throughout the vents and into each room.  This will cause damage to the air ducts and create serious health concerns for your family.
