Mold growth in air ducts after a damp stretch
Why it happens here
Coastal humidity and seasonal flooding risk keep basements and crawl spaces damp well into summer. Duct insulation holds that moisture, and mold starts within days. Homes within a few blocks of the shoreline see it most.
Our approach
We inspect with a duct camera before touching anything. If insulation is contaminated, we remove it rather than clean it. Then we clean the run mechanically and apply antimicrobial spray with a sanitizing fogger. We also check the return path for standing water.
