Mold in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in Highland Park homes can cause serious health effects. Every time you turn on the air conditioner or furnace, countless microscopic mold spores are forced out of the air ducts and into the air, where it is easy to inhale them. Quick action is important to minimize the extent of the damage.

If you notice the presence of mold on your HVAC system, you can trust SERVPRO to neutralize the problem. Our mold damage control experts are available in Highland Park 24/7 to respond to your emergency. We use advanced tools and equipment in every restoration project, and all our technicians are certified by the IICRC to ensure that our methods are up to date with industry standards.

You need to do something about mold damage in your air conditioning system if you notice obvious signs such as a strong musty smell or visible mold. The most vulnerable places include the drip pans, cooling coils, intake vents, and air ducts. If there are no visible signs of mold, but you can detect a definite odor, you should contact SERVPRO to inspect your system.

Mold damage in the air ducts should be dealt with immediately. Failure to do this can cause mold spores to spread throughout the house when the system blows air into the different parts of the home. The two main causes of mold in the air conditioning system are organic material and condensation. Condensation happens when parts of the HVAC system get cold.

Air conditioning systems often collect dust over time, both within the air ducts and in the unit itself. Dust is packed with all sorts of organic material, including dead skin cells and pollen, which are excellent food sources for mold. When you add a damp environment, it creates a suitable place for mold growth.
