Musty odors from ducts in older homes
Why it happens here
Eels Hill has a lot of homes from the 1950s and 1960s with original duct systems that have never been cleaned. Over decades, dust and organic material build up on the duct walls. When the heat comes on in fall, that material heats up and releases odor into the house.
Our approach
We clean the full system with a rotary brush system and negative air machine, then treat with antimicrobial spray where needed. If the odor source is mold, we identify it with a duct camera inspection system and address the affected section directly.
