Can there be mold growing In your HVAC System?

Mold can grow in dark and moist areas. This is the reason often the first signs you'll see are in the bathroom, especially if there is not efficient ventilation. Other common areas for mold include attics, basements, and cabinets with sinks, these are the most prone places in your home. 

Due to moisture and condensation, one of the most common places where mold grows is in your HVAC system.  Two factors come into play most commonly during the summer months of the year for obvious reasons. 

When using the air conditioning during the summer months, water vapor can make its way inside the air ducts. If you happen to live in an area that 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 them to multiply at an exponential rate.

If the issue is not addressed in a timely manner it will spread throughout your home.
