Mold in the Air Ducts - Aura Duct Cleaning

The Main question when is what mold in your vents:

High dampness – Even if fluid water isn’t visible, mold can obtain the dampness it needs from water droplets noticeable all around the entirety of the vent (otherwise called moistness). This can turn into an unfortunate issue. When water buildup generates frequently on the inside of the ventilation system, the materials that can ingest the dampness and develop the perfect situation to form the development of mold.

Aura Mold cleaning can test your home if you can visibly see, smell, or otherwise detect mold issues anywhere in your home. Or if someone in your home has allergies or asthma and you want to be certain to keep the mold to a minimum. It’s best to have mold testing performed for you by a qualified professional. Hiring a professional who is experienced at collecting and analyzing mold samples will always lead to the most accurate results and assure the safest environment for your family.

How to identify mold?

– Mold smell – One of the simplest ways to determine if mold is growing inside or outside your home is to give it the old sniff test. For those who have smelled mold in the past, they will likely never forget the smell. If you have never had the pleasure of smelling mold, We describe it this way. Mold on the outside of your house often smells stale, but mold on the inside smells musty and damp. A mold smell is not something to ignore. A little Febreeze is not the answer. If you have sniffed out some mold, have it taken care of before it becomes a pervasive problem.

-Water leaks – Around current or previous leaks. These are often where indicators will be seen or areas that mold is present. Whether it was a leaky pipe or a leak in the roof, these often induce moisture in overlooked places.
Past flooding – If your house has been in a flood there’s a good chance you will end up with a mold problem. After a flood the best thing you can do is contact a mold remediation company or water damage specialist who performs clean ups of flooded homes.
Visible Growth – Of course, if you see mold, then you know for sure that SOME mold exists. The question is, “How much?” It would be easy to assume that what you see is what you get, but unfortunately, this is not always the case. It’s the mold you CAN’T see that is often the scariest.

It is critical to identify and eliminate mold as soon as it begins to develop. Mold can be highly toxic and can have long-lasting effects on human health depending on the species and the extent of exposure. Children, seniors, pregnant women and people with pre-existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the effects of mold.

Some people are particularly sensitive to mold, while others can develop a sensitivity over time due to prolonged exposure. Other people may have more sensitive mold allergies and can be severely affected by it. Mold sensitivity includes symptoms like:
Chest and nasal congestion
Coughing, sneezing and wheezing
Sore throat
Watering, dry or sore eyes
Skin irritation
Headaches
