Hydro Clean Prevents Duct Mold, Mildew & Fungus Growth in Annapolis, MD

If you suspect a mold, mildew & fungus infestation, the experts at Hydro Clean Duct Cleaning can diagnose any problem and then recommend what steps should be taken. Tips for HVAC system mold, mildew & fungus prevention include:

Maintain drain pans: Clean regularly and make sure they are sloped to effectively drain, or standing water will encourage microbe and other growth.

Regularly replace air filters: Change monthly to remove trapped mold spores or other contaminants, so they don't accumulate in your HVAC system.

Apply an HVAC mold inhibitor: Environmental Protection Agency-registered, HVAC-approved mold inhibitors (or vent fogger) can prevent mold, mildew & fungus growth in your HVAC system. Contact Hydro Clean to have vent foggers installed.

Use a disinfectant: Before using a mold inhibitor, disinfect your HVAC system. Look for an EPA-approved disinfectant labeled for HVAC use or contact us.

Keep ducts dry: Mold needs moisture to grow, so have water damaged or leaking components in your HVAC system inspected, fixed or replaced.

Check air intake: Keep the path of air flowing to intakes clear of contaminants, moisture, dirty surfaces, a pet's favorite area, etc. Unwanted matter can flow into your HVAC.
