Does your indoor air care need to be cleaned?  Now’s the time to get your air ducts cleaned and mold removed from the air you breathe

You don’t want mold to be growing in your home, particularly in the air ducts. Ducts circulate air throughout your entire home. If there is mold in your air ducts, then those particles are being dispersed in the air you breathe and can result in illness if you’re not careful. 

Nobody wants mold in their air ducts, but it can be difficult to know you have a problem since they’re mostly hidden. To help keep you and your family safe, we’ve put together a few signs you can look for to recognize mold growth in your ducts. 

Signs Mold Is Inside Your Home or Office’s Air Ducts

Mold creates moisture in your home and can produce a musty or mildew smell. Often, the mold will start in one vent or room, but if left untreated it will spread throughout your whole duct system. If you smell mildew in one part of your house, be sure to check the vent for signs of mold growth to catch the problem early. 

  • It’s common to get a musty smell throughout your air flow if mold and mildew is accumulating
  • If you smell musty and mildew, call a professional air duct cleaning company ASAP to prevent further damag
