Whether it’s black mold or some other type of mold growing in your air ducts, it can’t be healthy for you and the family you love. Discovering that you have mold in your air ducts through the smells from the ducts in your HVAC system can cause every emotion from disgust to fear. There are signs you can follow that warn you when you have a mold problem, so you can’t get ahead of that problem by having duct restoration work performed. With that in mind, read on below for a few of those top signs.
Strange Smells from Ducts
One of the earliest warning signs is strange smells from ducts in your home. If you smell a strange odor when you are near the registers or even near your HVAC unit, then it’s time to call in the professionals to determine whether it’s mold or not, and then having a duct restoration team take care of the future by preventing the mold for you.
Health Symptoms
Mold can make you sick. Many people experience allergy like symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, headaches, congestion, and listlessness. If you feel better when you are out shopping, but start experiencing the same symptoms once you are back at home, you might have a mold problem. It’s best to have the problem checked out than to be sorry that you didn’t later on.
The Appearance of Mold
Mold will form in damp areas, so make sure you check around your HVAC unit and near registers and coils for the appearance of mold.
These are just a few signs that you might have mold in your air ducts. For more information and duct restoration, contact the professionals at Duct Armor for help.
