Combat Mold with a Thorough Duct Cleaning

Your home has been closed up for the better part of the summer to keep out the hot air.

And, because of this, your home probably smells a little stale. But, if you’re suffering from allergies, asthma or even skin rashes, your home may have a mold problem.

Since September is National Mold Awareness Month, you might consider having your ductwork checked for mold.

Your Brooklyn cooling experts at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning want you to recognize the signs of mold in your ductwork. And, you should know when it’s time to have your ductwork professionally cleaned.

Health Issues

If you’re struggling to stay well even though you don’t have a viral infection, your home may be suffering from a mold infestation. This could be located in your ductwork or ventilation system. If you’re exhibiting signs of a cold or the flu but aren’t testing positive for those illnesses, it may be time to call in the professionals.

And, if you smell mildew or see mold on your vents or in your air conditioner’s drip pan, there’s a chance you may have mold in the system.

When to Have the Ducts Cleaned

Even if you don’t think you have a mold issue, there are still other reasons why you should have your ducts cleaned. These include:

• Not knowing if or when the ducts have ever been cleaned.
• You can see dust and debris in the ventilation system.
• You live near a construction site or a dusty area.
• There are signs of pests in or around your ducts.
