Q: How do I find the source of the moldy smell in my house?

• <div><p>You can find the smell of mold in your house in two ways: following your nose, and using common sense tactics like looking anywhere there&rsquo;s water first. Mold cannot form in a completely dry environment, which is why you see mold much more often under kitchen sinks than on garage floors. If you have looked everywhere and still can&rsquo;t find the source, <b>hire a pro</b>, because you may have mold in your walls.</p></div>

Q: How long does an air duct cleaning service take?

• <div><p>Professional air duct cleaning takes two to five hours, depending on the size of your home and the extent of the cleaning. The ductwork in standard homes with total square footage of 1,500 to 2,000 will take closer to two hours. Larger homes with extensive return and supply ductwork&mdash;often over 3,000 square feet&mdash;can push up to five hours. Keep in mind that related cleanings and repairs in your HVAC system will add to this total and may require two visits.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't follow an air duct cleaning schedule?

• <div><p>Failing to follow an air duct cleaning schedule can allow dust, allergens, and contaminants to accumulate. This can lead to poor indoor air quality and potential respiratory problems or allergies for occupants. Mold and mildew can develop in the ducts, posing serious health risks and creating unpleasant odors. Debris buildup can also restrict airflow, causing the HVAC system to work harder and reduce its efficiency.</p></div>

Gary was very responsive and when they started remediation, the black mold was worse than expected. They were helpful in determining the source of the leak, which confirmed the fix we had done. The remediation was a neat as possible. I would recommend them for any testing and remediation."
