Over time, household dust, allergens, and contaminants can accumulate on the inside lining of your air ducts. Here is a list of the most common contaminants inside air duct systems:
Think household dust is just dust? Think again. Household dust is a mixture of a surprisingly large number of elements.
The presence of mold inside an HVAC system can be an allergy trigger for some. Our Standard and Premier Service Packages include the application of an EPA-registered disinfectant to the coils and ducts.
Construction debris from new construction or a past remodeling job is commonly found inside air ducts.
Minor problems with ducts can create condensation. Insulation failure, a punctured duct wall, or a bad connection between components of the duct system can allow moisture to form. Moisture, combined with content in the dust, can result in mold growth.
Although not very common, it does happen. Animals like raccoons, rats, mice, and even snakes have been found inside air ducts.
