HVAC and duct mold remediation in Denham Springs, LA

The house smells fine until the air conditioner kicks on, and then it doesn’t. One supply vent has a dark ring around it that comes back a week after you wipe it. The air handler in the attic has a wet stain on the platform under it. We handle HVAC and duct mold in Denham Springs, Walker, Watson, and across Livingston Parish. Call and tell us when you notice it.

Why the system is where mold hides here

Air conditioning runs ten or eleven months a year in Livingston Parish, and most of the ductwork runs through an attic that hits well over 100 degrees in summer. Cold air moving through insulated flex duct in that heat makes condensation on the outside of the duct and sometimes inside it. EPA says condensation near the cooling coil is a major factor in moisture contamination of duct systems. A drain pan that overflows or a condensate line that clogs wets the platform and the insulation under it, and the fan moves whatever grows there into every room.

What we do about it

  • EPA says not to run a system you suspect is contaminated, because it can spread mold through the building — turn it off and call.
  • Growth at the coil, in the plenum, and on the metal parts of the system gets cleaned in place under containment.
  • Insulated flex duct that has gotten wet or moldy can’t be cleaned effectively; EPA and Louisiana’s Department of Health both say it gets replaced.
  • Wet insulation and platform material around the air handler come out, and we tell you what has to change with the drain or the condensate line for the fix to last.

Signs that point to the system rather than the room

The smell is strongest at the vents and fades when the system has been off for a few hours. More than one room smells the same way. The return grille or the filter slot has visible growth. A vent surface sweats every afternoon — at 75 degrees and 60 percent humidity, that happens most days here. If any of that sounds like your house, describe it on the call and tell us where the air handler sits.
