Mold Outbreak Discovered in Air Conditioning Unit in Macomb Township Home?

6/25/2024 (Permalink)

A home is being disinfected as part of the mold remediation process. We are a top choice for mold remediation services in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township teams are trusted leaders in mold remediation services in Macomb Township. Air conditioners can contribute to mold outbreaks for the following reasons:

  1. Moisture: Air conditioners remove moisture from the air during their cooling process. However, if issues such as leaks in the unit, clogged drainage pipes, or improper installation occur, excess moisture can accumulate within the system. This moisture provides an ideal environment for mold growth.
  2. Dirt and Debris: Dust, dirt, and organic debris can accumulate within the air conditioner, particularly in the condensate drain pan and the evaporator coils. If not properly cleaned and maintained, these areas can become food sources for mold spores, leading to mold growth.
  3. Lack of Ventilation: Inadequate ventilation within the air conditioning system can contribute to moisture buildup and stagnant air, creating conditions favorable for mold growth.
  4. Humid Environments: Air conditioners may have to work harder to remove moisture from the air in regions with high humidity, such as coastal areas. If the system is sized correctly and maintained for the local climate, it may be able to control humidity levels effectively, increasing the risk of mold growth.

By implementing these maintenance measures, homeowners can rest assured that they are taking effective steps to reduce the risk of mold growth in their air conditioning systems.

Leaking Supply Line Causes Mold Outbreak in Macomb Township?

A person discovers mold growing on a wall in a laundry room. We are leaders in mold damage restoration services in Macomb County.

When you notice a strong, musty odor in your home in Macomb Township, you probably have a mold problem. Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is trained and certified to restore mold damage. Often, mold outbreaks are the result of a water leak. We will address any water leak issues as part of the mold remediation process to minimize the potential for the mold to return once the remediation process is complete.

By routinely inspecting your appliance supply lines, you may prevent mold damage. The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety offers these helpful tips for maintaining your appliance supply lines:

  • Look for signs the supply hose may be ready to fail—blisters in the hose, worn tubing, stress cracks, or a loose connection
  • Replace the supply hose with a reinforced steel braided hose if it shows any sign of wear
  • Tighten the connection if it feels loose. The most common site of failure is near the connection where the hose bends.
  • Replace supply hoses every five years, even if there is no obvious deterioration or wear. Some signs of deterioration may occur from the inside out and may not be visible until it is too late.
  • When replacing washing machine supply hoses, always choose a reinforced steel braided hose over the traditional un-reinforced rubber hose. These hoses will last longer and are far less likely to result in catastrophic water loss.
