  • Insulation: If you have insulated air ducts and the insulation gets wet or moldy, it cannot be effectively cleaned and should be removed and replaced.
  • If the conditions causing mold growth in the first place are not corrected, mold growth will recur.
  • Stains on the walls, registers, or ceiling.
  • If occupants complain of earth-like odors.
  • Air duct Infestation of vermin (rodents or insects) requires cleaning.
  • Dirty registers are a sure sign that ducts need cleaning since they are releasing excess dust and debris into your home.
