Do dirty ducts cause mold?

Dust alone does not. Moisture does. When we find damp duct interiors, wet insulation or condensation at the equipment, the moisture source is the finding that matters, and we investigate it rather than just cleaning.

How often should ducts be cleaned?

There is no universal interval. Renovation dust, a water event, a smoke event, visible debris or a change of occupancy are better reasons than a schedule.

Do you show before and after conditions?

Yes. Photographed before and after conditions are part of the deliverable, so the work is verifiable rather than asserted.

HVAC & Air-Duct Cleaning

Clean the system that moves air through the whole building.

Duct systems collect construction dust, fibrous debris and, after a water event, whatever was airborne while the system was running. HVAC systems are also a moisture source in their own right — condensate pan failures, uninsulated ducts sweating in humid spaces, and leaks at the air handler.

HVAC as a moisture source

When we inspect a moisture problem, the mechanical system is part of the investigation. Condensate leaks, sweating duct runs in unconditioned crawl spaces, and oversized equipment that short-cycles without dehumidifying all show up as building moisture problems.

After construction or a water loss

Duct cleaning is often the last step of a construction-dust or post-remediation cleanup, so fine particulate is not redistributed through the building the moment the system restarts.
