If not treated in a timely manner, mold spores can travel down through the ducts and cause numerous health issues such as allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Vigilant removal of mold is necessary to ensure that your living space remains healthy.
Professional duct cleaning services are available which remove mold from ducts without any hassle. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) highly recommends mold remediation of ducts.
