The Importance of Correct Air Duct Cleaning for Mold Problems

 Getting your air ducts cleaned properly as part of a mold removal project is very important in the whole remediation process. It's extremely important to not spread mold spores in your air conditioning system any further than where they already are without spreading it throughout your home. If the cleaning is done improperly it will actually increase the growth of mold, not eliminate it. Make sure to take a look at the equipment that the company plans to use to clean your air ducts. If they remove the vents and push a vacuum hose with a brush on it as far as they can reach, the spores that aren't sucked up into the hose will fall into the room or remain in the ductwork to be blown into other areas when the AC is used again. Air duct cleaning like this might not be harmful if there isn't contamination, but if mold spores are present it will only make matters worse for you.

Air Duct Cleaning

 Does it pay to have your heating and cooling duct system cleaned ? I can speak from experience when it comes to this question. I have cleaned the duct systems in many homes in the past and most homeowners were shocked at the amount of dust and dirt that had been removed. This is especially the case in older systems. Since it is hard to physically see the inside of you heating and air conditioning duct work you have no idea how much dust, dirt, mold and fungus is built up with in it. One way to get some idea of how your system looks is to remove a cold air register and inspect the duct behind it. If this area has a large build up of dirt and dust, odds are your entire duct system is the same or worse. Some people will claim that the half to one inch of dust build up in your duct is a benefit in that it acts as a insulator. I don't believe that the downfalls to this including allergies, mold , bacteria build up and dust mites are worth the insulation value. Check out a blown up pict...
