Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly known as black mold, is a toxic type of mold that can cause health problems if it gets into your air ducts and is sent into your living spaces by your HVAC system. Black mold often grows in homes that have recently suffered water damage that hasn’t been properly treated. While all types of mold should be removed from your air ducts (and the rest of your home), it’s especially important to remove black mold because it can cause symptoms such as headaches, coughing, sneezing, and fatigue. And if anyone in your home has a pre-existing respiratory condition, it could be significantly worsened by exposure to black mold. At Best Way Care Restoration, we provide expert mold removal and air duct cleaning in the greater Orlando area. If you notice any signs of black mold in your ductwork, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Here are four signs of black mold in air ducts.
Before you see any visible signs of black mold, you may notice a musty odor. With black mold, the smell can be similar to rotting vegetables or leaves. If you notice such a stench coming from your air ducts, contact Best Way Care Restoration for an inspection.
You might be able to see mold growing on surface areas. Black mold has circular-shaped spots that range in color from black to dark green and dark brown. Oftentimes, black mold has a slightly furry appearance. You may notice the mold on your ducts or air filters.
If you activate your HVAC system and black dust comes out of your vents, then black mold could be present. In such a situation, there’s a good chance you’re due for an in-depth professional air duct cleaning.
Black mold can be to blame for symptoms such headaches, fatigue, and coughing. And if you have asthma, you may notice especially bad symptoms. By calling in a professional to eliminate the mold, your quality of life could be significantly improved.
