Black Mold in Home and Air Ducts: Why You Have to Remove It
Black mold can form in any environment that gives food for the mold to grow – which is moisture. It can happen in less than a few days. One little patch of black mold can go out of control, and before you know it, it’s everywhere. It can appear on the walls, inside the HVAC – and in your air ducts.
When black mold starts forming around the vents, you have to remove it as quickly as possible. Still, aside from cleaning the obvious spots at the base of the air vent, you need to eliminate it straight from the source. If you fail to do so, here is what will happen:
- It will keep growing
A single spore of mold can cause an entire outbreak in your home – causing a small, insignificant patch to create an entire colony. Before you know it, not only will it go past your air ducts, but it will also creep into your walls.
- It will have access to every room
If a little moisture has formed in a corner of a room, far from the air vents, then it can be dealt with fast without it spreading. However, if it’s in the air vents, the spores will travel to every connected room. One bit of moisture, and once more, you will have an outbreak on your hands.
- It can cause health concerns
Aside from being unaesthetic, mold can also cause serious health concerns. It can lead to allergy symptoms, lung problems, headaches while you are at home. And it seems like they only grow worse when you turn on the air conditioner.
Yes, black mold needs to be removed – not only because it looks bad and smells bad, but because it is also unhealthy. You can try your own remedies – but if it feels like the problem is escaping from your hands, then you might need to contact specialists.
