Wet Condensation on Duct Work

Is your HVAC working properly?  Did you know that improper HVAC units cause about 70% of the mold issues in homes?  When you turn your A/C on it is removing moisture from the air as part of its cooling process.  There are number of malfunctions that can cause your A/C to cool but not reduce the humidity within the environment to an acceptable level.   You really need your indoor air to be below 60% and even more preferred is below 50%, not just cool.

Signals you may be experiencing high humidity in your home.  You will have musty or moldy odors but you don't see any visible mold and you have not experienced any water damage.  The really obvious one is mold growing on furniture or cloths in the closet that may look like a heavy layer of dust at first. 

If you are experiencing any of these things give SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Central Austin a call.
