What Causes Mold in Air Duct (HVAC)?
In a humid New Jersey climate, air ducts are among the most common places to find mold. It has a lot to do with the fact that cooling of humid air often produces a lot of excessive moisture, such as condensation on cooling coils, collecting in dripping pans and so on. When this moisture gets in contact with dust and particles for a prolonged period of time, it’s a surefire recipe for a mold disaster.
Among the most common causes of air duct mold are:
- Dust, dirt, debris and pet hair collected in the vent
- Clogged air duct filters
- Using basic fiberglass filters in houses with pets and other sources of micro-particles
- Leaks around duct joints in attics
- Wetted fiberglass-lined ductwork surfaces
- Condensation on metal parts of HVAC units
- Improper use or absence of Drain Pans
- Damaged or missing foil vapor barrier
- Damaged or missing air duct insulation
- Poor initial installation of the air duct system
- Overly humid New Jersey environment
- Improper mixing of outside and inside air
- Saturated air coming from air conditioner evaporator
- Weak (slow) air flow coming out of the grill
- Improper AC unit size
Where does Mold Grow in the Air Ducts?
In air ducts (HVAC) you can find mold growing on:
- On air filters
- On Insulation
- On duct lining
- On dust, dirt collected on walls, grills etc
- On pet particles, dead skin cells, etc
- On drywall compound left from construction
We have written a helpful guide on how you can remove mold from your air duct.
How Dangerous Air Duct Mold Really Is?
Mold in air ducts can pose a serious threat to your health. Unlike cases where mold grows in isolated areas such as attic and crawl space, air duct mold has a potential to quickly spread mold contamination throughout the rest of your house, turning it in a health hazard.
If you start to develop mold symptoms and suspect you’ve got mold in your HVAC system, it is important to have a professional mold inspector thoroughly check your ducts as well as the rest of your house to make sure you don’t have a mold contamination on your hands.
