Good to know
HVAC & Air Duct Mold Remediation in Escondido, CA: common questions
How do I know if my ductwork has mold?
A musty smell that strengthens when the system runs, or visible growth around vent covers and register boots, are the common signs.
Will the moisture causing the mold get fixed?
The source is identified, condensation, a crawl space leak or a humidity problem, and either corrected directly or handed to an HVAC technician.
Do I need to replace ductwork with mold in it?
It depends on the material. Sheet metal duct usually cleans up, while flex duct and fiberglass duct board often have to be replaced.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after hvac & air duct mold remediation?
The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Escondido home.
Can I clean duct mold myself?
Ductwork is hard to reach safely, and cleaning it without containment pushes spores through the whole house, so it belongs to a crew with HEPA equipment.
Does a humidifier make duct mold more likely?
It can. Evaporative coolers push a lot of humidity through the ductwork, especially when the system is not well maintained.
Do I need to leave my Escondido home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Escondido home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Escondido?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Escondido, including Citrus Gardens Mobile Home Park, Harmony Grove, San Marcos, and the rest of the Escondido area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
