Good to know
HVAC & Air Duct Mold Remediation in Boston, MA: common questions
How do I know if my ductwork has mold?
A musty smell that strengthens when the system runs, or visible growth around vent covers and register boots, are the common signs.
Will the moisture causing the mold get fixed?
The source is identified, condensation, a crawl space leak or a humidity problem, and either corrected directly or handed to an HVAC technician.
Do I need to replace ductwork with mold in it?
It depends on the material. Sheet metal duct usually cleans up, while flex duct and fiberglass duct board often have to be replaced.
Do I need to leave my Boston home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Boston home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Can I clean duct mold myself?
Ductwork is hard to reach safely, and cleaning it without containment pushes spores through the whole house, so it belongs to a crew with HEPA equipment.
Does a humidifier make duct mold more likely?
It can. Evaporative coolers push a lot of humidity through the ductwork, especially when the system is not well maintained.
Will my insurance cover hvac & air duct mold remediation in Boston?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. Insurance is accepted, and the contractor works with your carrier and documents the loss so the Boston claim keeps moving.
Do you serve Boston?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Boston, including Beacon Hill, VA Boston Healthcare System, Brockton Campus, East Cambridge, and the rest of the Boston area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
