Something Smells Funky

Mold has a distinctive musty smell. Most common molds will make the home smell old and unpleasant. You may notice the pungent nature of the smell increases as you run the air conditioner, particularly if mold spreads to the air ducts.

Check - My apartment stinks!

You Notice Visible Signs of Mold

The mold you find in an air conditioner often looks similar to the mold you find elsewhere in the home, such as an uncleaned shower or basement. The patchy black residue may or may not wipe off easily, and will require cleaning to remove permanently.

Check - See pictures below.

You Experience Recurring Respiratory Symptoms

If mold did not cause serious adverse health consequences, homeowners would not need to worry about its presence. However, mold can cause anything from mild irritation to serious respiratory illness requiring hospitalization.

Check - Itchy, burning eyes. Itchy skin. Headaches. Sometimes it was hard to breathe.

In addition to causing health issues, the presence of mold could affect the overall value of a home or building.

"Black mold in AC ducts. My roommate left this place because him and his girlfriend were getting sick from it. Every time he would bring it to attention, they would just have someone come paint over it, lol. What a joke."
