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.

Rated 4.9 by Rumson-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Professional containment, HEPA vacuuming, the whole process was textbook. Worth hiring certified pros.

Good to know
HVAC & Air Duct Mold Remediation in Rumson, NJ: 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 Rumson home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Rumson 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 Rumson to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Monmouth County.
Do you serve Rumson?
Yes. We cover all of Rumson, including Sea Bright, Fair Haven, Highlands, and the rest of the Rumson area. We are based in Atlantic Highlands, about 5 minutes from our Atlantic Highlands base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
