HVAC mold remediation deals with mold on an air handler, on vent covers or inside ducts. Mold Remediation Fort Myers does this work for homes in Fort Myers, Florida, and the line, (239) 686-2400, is answered day and night.
What’s included with HVAC Mold Remediation
- A look at the air handler, the nearest vents and any ductwork that can be reached.
- Finding the moisture behind the growth, such as a blocked drain line or a wet liner.
- Cleaning mold from hard surfaces in the system.
- Telling you which parts are wet or moldy through and may need replacing by an HVAC contractor.
- Drying the area around the equipment.
Turn it off if you suspect mold
The EPA guide to mold cleanup in your home says, “Do not run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold.” Running it can spread the growth through the building, so if you see mold at a vent or smell it from the air handler, switch the system off and call.

What the EPA says about duct cleaning
The EPA page on air duct cleaning says cleaning can be warranted when there is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface ducts or on other parts of the heating and cooling system. It also says, “Once fiberglass duct liner is contaminated with mold, cleaning is not sufficient to prevent re-growth.” The EPA, NADCA and NAIMA all recommend replacing wet or moldy fiberglass duct material. That replacement is a job for an HVAC contractor, and the business will tell you when it is needed.
Find the water first
The EPA brief guide to mold, moisture and your home says, “Keep air conditioning drip pans clean and the drain lines unobstructed and flowing properly.” A pan that overflows or a drain line that backs up wets the cabinet and the insulation around it, and mold follows. The same page advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally between 30 and 50 percent. Cleaning mold off a system that keeps getting wet gives only a short fix.
Signs the system may hold mold
A musty smell when the air comes on, dark spots around a vent cover, damp insulation near the air handler and a drain pan with standing water all point to a moisture problem. The Wikipedia article on ducts has a section on duct cleaning that mentions insulated ducts that molded after getting wet.

Cooling systems in Fort Myers homes
Air handlers sit in closets, garages and attics, where a slow drain leak can go unseen for weeks. The EPA brief guide says to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth, and that clock applies to a wet cabinet as much as to a wet floor.
Testing is not offered
The business does not test or assess mold. Florida Statutes section 468.8419 says a mold remediator may not offer mold assessment on a structure it remediated within 12 months.

HVAC Mold Remediation Fort Myers: your questions answered
Do HVAC companies get rid of mold?
That depends on the company. This business cleans mold from hard surfaces in the system and tells you which parts are moldy through. Replacing contaminated duct material is work for an HVAC contractor.
Should I keep running the air conditioning if I think there is mold?
The EPA says not to run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold. Turn it off and call.
Is cleaning the ducts enough?
Not always. The EPA page says that once fiberglass duct liner is contaminated with mold, cleaning is not sufficient to prevent re-growth, and wet or moldy fiberglass duct material should be replaced.
How much is mold remediation in an HVAC system?
No price is given on this page. It depends on which parts hold the growth and why they got wet. Call and describe what you see.
