Mold Growth in your HVAC System

Mold growth is something no homeowner wants to find. Properly functioning HVAC systems are a great way to prevent mold from ever forming in your home. Mold spores cause a wide range of health issues, and it has become clear that controlling the growth of mold is imperative to preserving the health of your family. Mold can grow anywhere moisture is present because mold spores are always present in the air and dust. Indoor mold is caused when water is introduced due to plumbing issues,
leaky roofs, and incomplete drying of floor materials. Mold is especially dangerous to homes because it feeds on plywood, drywall, carpet and furring strips and in humid conditions will spread rapidly.

HVAC systems create a large amount of moisture and when left without being controlled the moisture can breed mold in your HVAC system. Once HVAC systems have been infiltrated by mold it can be difficult to remove. Removing is dangerous and especially, so if you suffer from a immune deficiency disease or respiratory illness. If you do find mold in your Denver heating and air conditioning system, follow these step to safely remove it.
