We noticed the musty smell was worse whenever the furnace kicked on. Turned out there was mold growing in a duct section running through the crawl space. The team cleaned it and helped us figure out where the moisture was coming from.

We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Great communication from start to finish. The mold report helped a lot with our insurance claim.

Good to know
HVAC & Air Duct Mold Remediation in Huntington Beach, CA: 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.
Do I need to leave my Huntington Beach home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Huntington Beach home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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.
Is the hvac & air duct mold remediation you do in Huntington Beach to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Orange County.
Do you serve Huntington Beach?
Yes. We cover all of Huntington Beach, including Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and the rest of the Huntington Beach area. We are based in Corona Del Mar, about 15 minutes from our Corona Del Mar base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
