Quick Tips
Is there a reliable way to tell the difference between mold and dust in ductwork, or do they look the same?
To the untrained eye they can look very similar — both can appear as gray or dark deposits on duct surfaces — but mold has a distinct texture, sometimes a fuzzy or powdery appearance, and a musty smell that dust alone doesn’t produce. At Pure Air Service, we use surface sampling and camera inspections to confirm what we’re looking at rather than guessing. Call (623) 552-3176 and let us give you a definitive answer so you know what you’re actually dealing with.
