subject: Should You Have Your Air Ducts Professionally Cleaned [print this page] If a family member has become ill caused by mold in the air ducts then it is obvious the air ducts should have been cleaned sooner and there is genuine concern that other members of the family have been affected but the symptoms won't show until year later.
Mold is challenging to detect and apart from a family member becoming ill it is often detected by smell. Relying on smell to detect the presence is not a good idea since not all mold smells and also because, if you can smell mold or mildew, the infestation is more than likely serious.Not a lot of mold is required to cause complications, often much less than is needed to smell it. By the time you smell mold, your loved ones have very likely been exposed to the mold for an extended period of time which can have permanent health consequences, often showing up years later.
The logical way to prevent your family from being exposed to mold is preventing mold from entering your HVAC system and air ducts. This is best done with periodic professional air duct cleaning or regular cleaning and inspection by the homeowner.
