Smells in buildings (and homes) can be pervasive, unpleasant, unhealthy, and sometimes difficult to eliminate. The culprit can be dirty ducts, leaky ducts, or both! In any case, the link between poor ventilation and poor indoor air quality has been well established.

Almost all ductwork leaks, and depending on the leakage locations, this leakage is one of the major causes of dirty ductwork, condensation and subsequent mold growth. Additionally these leaks draw in dirty attic, basement and non-filtered wall cavity air into our breathing zone every time our HVAC unit operates. These same leaks are costing thousands of dollars of waited electricity, causing comfort problems, and reducing the AC equipment capacity and performance.
 
Indoor Air Quality is a growing concern in every medical facility and home today. Exposure to mold may result in cold like symptoms, nasal and sinus congestion, respiratory problems, coughing, sore throat, watery eyes, skin irritations, and is a major trigger of asthma attacks. If high mold levels are present in a building, it is considered hazardous. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states if levels of hazardous pollutants indoor has been found to be up to 70 times more hazardous than outdoor air and if mold is found in a conditioning system the unit should be tuned off.
