🏠 WHAT’S HIDING INSIDE YOUR AIR DUCTS?
Recently, we performed a whole-home indoor air quality evaluation on a home that had just been sold. What we found will probably surprise you too:
❌ Fungal growth inside supply vents�❌ heavily contaminated, low-quality air filters�❌ Dirt and dust bypassing the filters�❌ Contamination throughout the HVAC system�❌ Dust buildup on critical components
The new owners had no idea these issues existed.
Many homeowners don’t realize that every time their heating and cooling system runs, the air circulating through their home passes through the ductwork, blower compartment, and filtration system.
When these components become contaminated, the air your family breathes may be affected.
According to the CDC, exposure to damp and fungal growth contaminated indoor environments has been linked to coughing, wheezing, respiratory irritation, allergy symptoms, and worsening asthma symptoms.
Studies have also found that early exposure to mold may contribute to the development of asthma in some children. (CDC)
The EPA notes that children are especially vulnerable because their lungs are still developing, they breathe faster than adults, and they take in more air relative to their body size. Nearly 80% of asthma cases begin before age six. (US EPA)
Common warning signs include:�✅ Frequent coughing indoors�✅ Sneezing that improves when leaving the house�✅ Stuffy nose or sinus irritation�✅ Dust accumulating quickly�✅ Musty odors�✅ Increased allergy or asthma symptoms
Don’t wait until your family starts experiencing symptoms.
