Could mold in ductwork cause our kids' coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a weird musty smell coming from the air vents in my son’s bedroom. It’s particularly noticeable when we run the AC. My partner and I are worried about the kids’ health, especially since they’ve been coughing more frequently lately. Could this be due to mold or dust in the ductwork? What should we do to clean it properly and ensure our family’s safety?
