HVAC mold remediation.

Musty smell when the system starts? Mold can grow where the system stays damp. We find it and clean it out at the source.

Where it grows

Damp, dark and moving air.

An HVAC system makes its own moisture. The cooling coil pulls water out of the air, and it drains away through a pan and a line. When that area stays wet, or ducts sweat in a humid space, mold has what it needs.

  • Around the cooling coil and the drain pan
  • Inside the air handler
  • On duct surfaces that sweat
  • At registers in damp rooms
How we handle it

Find it. Clean it out.

  1. Look first

    An inspection of the unit, the coil area and the ducts, so you know what is there and where.

  2. Remediate at the source

    The growth is cleaned out of the affected parts of the system.

  3. Point to the moisture

    Mold follows damp. We point out what we see, like a slow drain line or ducts that sweat.

Signs to watch for

Your nose knows first.

  • A musty smell when the heat or AC starts
  • Dark spots on or around the registers
  • Water sitting around the indoor unit
  • Growth you can see near the coil or drain pan
Questions

HVAC mold answers.

How do I know if it is mold in the system?

A musty smell when the heat or AC starts is the most common clue, along with dark spots at the registers or growth you can see near the indoor unit. An inspection tells you for sure.

Why does mold grow in an HVAC system?

Moisture. The cooling coil pulls water out of the air, and it drains through a pan and a line. When that area stays damp, or ducts sweat in a humid space, mold has what it needs.
