Signs that you have a mold problem

 Why is mold growing In My HVAC System?

Mold grows in dark and moist areas which is why you’ll often see first signs in places like your bathroom, especially if you do not have efficient ventilation. Other common areas for mold include attics, basements, and in cabinets with sinks.

Of course, one of the most common places where mold grows is in your HVAC system. This is because there is a high level of moisture and condensation. These two factors come into play most commonly during the summer months of the year.

When you use the air conditioning during the summer months, water vapor can make its way inside the air ducts. If the area where you live is very humid, the water will stay stuck in your system instead of evaporating like it normally would.

As external particles continue to travel through your air ducts, dust gathers, thus becoming a feeding ground for mold. Mold feeds off organic materials, allowing it multiply at an exponential rate.

 if not addressed in a timely matter it will spread throughout you home.
