Water Damage In Your Ducts

2/23/2021 (Permalink)

You rely on your air ducts for many things, from air quality to temperature regulation.  When your HVAC system is working, it can cause condensation to occur. Your system likely has a drip pan where the condensation can pool or evaporate.  But when your system is working for a long time, the drip pan may overflow, or your emergency line may actually rupture.  Either of these issues will likely cause water damage that can cause both immediate and long-term problems.  If you have this happen, you should make two calls.  The first is to your HVAC company, so they can come out and fix any issue that your system has.  They will check the condensation line to ensure that it is in working order.  If there is a leak or blockage, they can fix it.

The next call you need to make is to a professional water remediation company like SERVPRO of Norwalk/Wilton.  We will come out to your home or business and fix any water damage that has happened.  This type of water damage is not always visible for some time, so a professional company will be able to fix any immediate damage, as well as eliminate any mold spores that have begun to form.

You should have your HVAC system inspected on a regular basis.  Even then, problems like water damage can still occur.  If this does happen to you, please reach out to us.  SERVPRO of Norwalk/Wilton is here to help!
