You normally won’t see any dust or mold actively floating out of your vent, but you might notice your vent looks dirty. Mold will cling to the sides and collect almost like black soot. Dust will look, well, dusty, but there will usually be a heavy buildup so expect thick gray layers on the bottom and sometimes the sides of the vent. If you suspect you have mold in your vents, call a professional immediately.

If you damage a seam or knock a section loose, you could allow heated or cooled air to escape, which costs you money through reduced system efficiency. It can also be a time-consuming process to clean air ducts if you have a large home or complicated ductwork layout.
