CLEAN AND DRY | DESINFECT | PREVENT
Mold growing inside air ducts can indicate the presence of high levels of humidity and/or moisture inside the ducts. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as leaks in the ductwork, condensation caused by temperature imbalances, or poor ventilation. The mold growth inside the ducts can also be an indication of poor maintenance or lack of cleaning of the HVAC system.
When mold grows in the air ducts, it can release spores into the air, which can cause health problems for those who are exposed to them, particularly for people with mold allergies or respiratory issues. Additionally, mold can cause damage to the ducts and can cause musty odors.
If you notice any signs of mold growth inside your air ducts, it's important to have them inspected and cleaned by a professional mold remediation company as soon as possible, to avoid potential health risks and damage.
"One of the most sectors that must be taken into consideration through pandemic coronavirus (COVID-19) around the globe is the air conditioning systems".

AIR DUCT CLEANING
- Cleaning your air ducts is not always necesary.
- You must clean your air ducts if there is Mold growing inside it.
- You should clean it if there is excesive dirt clogging the ducts or insects, etc.
- Mold growing inside air ducts indicates there is moisture
- Moisture or any water damage to the ducts has to be corrected or the Mold will growth back.
- Cleaning air ducts infected with Mold includes not just the duct surface, but the air circulating through it.
- Sometimes the mold infectation is too large and deep into the insulation material that cannot be cleanned and the ducts have to be replaced.
WE CAN HELP
- We inspect your air ducts for any visible indication of mold growth.
- We can identify the mold and provide you with a full report, however this will be for informational purposes only, as any growing mold is a threat that must be eliminated.
- Cleaning includes the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing
- We use advanced technology to kill the fungus, clean the afected area and dispose of the contaminants.
- The methods we use may include Dry Ice Blasting, Photo Catalytic Oxidation, HEPA filtration, etc.
- Validation of Mold removal from surface and air.
- We can provide a yearly service contract that includes monitoring and remediation if a contamination arises, guaranting a "Mold Free" location.
Mold can release spores
Yes, mold can release spores into the air when it is present and growing. These spores are tiny particles that are released into the air and can be easily inhaled. The release of spores can happen naturally as the mold grows and reproduces, but it can also occur as a result of human activities such as disturbing or cleaning mold growth.
Mold spores are present in the environment at all times, and most people come into contact with them without any negative effects. However, for some people, inhaling mold spores can cause a range of health problems, such as allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Additionally, exposure to mold spores can cause symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin irritation.
