Short Answer
Yes. When mold develops inside an HVAC system, spores can circulate throughout a home each time the system operates. Professional remediation often includes cleaning both the air handler and accessible ductwork to remove contamination, improve indoor air quality, and help prevent mold spores from being redistributed throughout the property.
Inspection & Findings
Initial Inspection
Our technicians performed a comprehensive inspection of the HVAC system to determine the extent of visible mold contamination throughout the air handler and accessible ductwork.
Detailed HVAC Cleaning
ServiceMaster SRQ completed a detailed cleaning of both the interior and exterior of the air handler cabinet. Mold contamination was carefully removed from the blower assembly, evaporator coil, cabinet surfaces, electrical wiring, plugs, and other accessible components using industry-accepted cleaning procedures.
Air Duct Cleaning
The HVAC duct system was professionally cleaned to remove accumulated contamination and debris from accessible interior duct surfaces as part of the overall remediation process.
Final Restoration
Once cleaning was complete, the HVAC system was restored to support improved indoor air quality and reduce the potential for mold spores to circulate throughout the home.
