Why Your HVAC is a Risk


Your HVAC system is the perfect breeding ground for mold.

  • Moisture: The evaporator coils on your air conditioner are designed to pull moisture from the air. This creates a constantly damp environment.
  • Darkness: The inside of your system is dark.
  • Food: Dust, dander, and pollen that get sucked into the system provide an ample "food" source for mold.When mold grows on the coils or in the drain pan, the blower fan then picks up those spores and blasts them into every room of your Decatur, GA house.

Signs of Mold in Your HVAC System


  • The "Musty" Smell: This is the #1 sign. Does a musty, "dirty socks" smell come out of your vents when the AC or heat first kicks on? That is a major red flag.
  • Visible Growth: Look at the grates of your supply vents. Do you see black, "sooty" spots or fuzzy growth on them?
  • Allergies That Worsen Indoors: If your family's allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues are noticeably worse inside your home, your air quality may be the culprit.
  • A Clogged Drain Line: If your AC's condensate drain line frequently clogs, it means the pan is full of water—and likely a slimy mold or algae buildup.

Our HVAC Remediation Process (Not Just "Duct Cleaning")


"Duct cleaning" just removes dust. Our mold remediation process is far more thorough:

  • Inspection: We use cameras to inspect the coils, drain pan, and ductwork.
  • Containment: We seal your vent system to prevent cross-contamination during cleaning.
  • Cleaning: We use a high-powered HEPA vacuum and agitation tools to dislodge and safely capture all mold and debris.
  • Sanitizing: We clean the evaporator coils and drain pan with an EPA-approved antimicrobial agent.
  • Fogging (If Necessary): We can apply an antimicrobial "fog" to the ductwork to neutralize any remaining mold spores, ensuring the system is safe to use.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • Will new air filters stop this?A standard filter only stops large dust particles. It does not stop microscopic mold spores and will not stop mold from growing on the system itself.
  • Is this related to water damage?It can be. If your home has had a water damage event, the high humidity can easily accelerate mold growth in your HVAC system.
