Mold is a common problem in many homes, and it can be especially troublesome when it appears in ductwork. If you're dealing with a mold infestation in your air ducts, it's essential to take action quickly. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to get rid of the mold and prevent it from coming back. The first step is to identify the source of the mold.
BIOSPRAY-TOWER's ready-to-use disinfectant and mold cleaner can help you determine if the substance is actually mold. If it is, you'll need to have a professional locate the source and recommend the best air duct cleaning services or mold removal companies. The smell of mold is usually the first sign that it's present in air ducts or ventilation grilles. If people or pets in the house start experiencing symptoms such as headaches, nausea, nose and throat irritation, and itchy eyes when the air conditioner is turned on, this could be an indication that there's mold in the air ducts.
In some cases, a cleaning solution and soapy water may not be enough to remove spores from an HVAC system contaminated with mold, especially in a large house. If this is the case, you may need to drench moldy areas in the ducts and around the ventilation openings with a cleaning agent. You can also purchase kits that test for mold in the air, but these may not be as useful if you're trying to determine if there's actually mold in your HVAC ducts. To do this, you'll need to look for signs of high humidity or excess moisture that could be causing mold growth. If you suspect that there's mold on your air conditioning vents, act quickly and follow these tips on how to get rid of it:
- Drench moldy areas in the ducts and around ventilation openings with a cleaning agent.
- Contact your local office for air duct cleaning services and to mitigate mold problems.
- Make sure your HVAC system is properly maintained and that filters are cleaned or replaced regularly.
