Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
No more allergy symptoms since they cleaned the mold from our HVAC and bedroom walls.

Good to know
HVAC & Air Duct Mold Remediation in Stonington, CT: common questions
How do I know if my ductwork has mold?
A musty smell that gets stronger when the HVAC system runs, or visible growth around vent covers, are the most common signs.
Will you fix the moisture causing the mold?
We identify the moisture source, whether it's condensation, a crawl space leak, or humidity issues, and either address it directly or coordinate with an HVAC technician.
Do I need to replace ductwork with mold in it?
It depends on the material and extent of growth. Metal ductwork can often be cleaned, while some flexible or fiberglass-lined duct may need replacement.
Will my insurance cover hvac & air duct mold remediation in Stonington?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Stonington claim moves.
Can I clean duct mold myself?
Ductwork is hard to access safely and cleaning it without proper containment can push spores through the whole house, so it's best left to a professional crew.
Does a humidifier make duct mold more likely?
It can, since evaporative coolers add significant humidity to the air moving through the ductwork, especially if the system isn't well maintained.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after hvac & air duct mold remediation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Stonington home.
Do you serve Stonington?
Yes. We cover all of Stonington, including Mystic, Noank, Old Mystic, and the rest of the Stonington area. We are based in Pawcatuck, about 10 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
