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".
