Professional Mold Inspections & Environmental Testing in Schenectady, NY

Those air conditioners are set to be working over time this coming week with the impending heat wave! Knowing that HVAC systems are a common cause of water damage in the summer months, we have a few preventative tips for you. 1. Schedule your annual HVAC service, if you haven’t already. This helps to make sure the unit is functioning as it should, lessening the likelihood of water damage occurring. 2. Condensation is the most likely culprit of water damage from air conditioners so it’s important to check the drain line for clogs and cracks. This ensures the excess water is directed properly and doesn’t back up into your house. 3. You should also inspect the drain pan (where the drain line funnels in to) for any cracks and fractures that would allow water to leak into your home. 4. Change or clean the filters to keep the evaporation coil from freezing up. If you suspect your air conditioner has caused water damage in your home or business, time is of the essence! Clean Bright Surface Restoration can provide immediate water mitigation services to ensure the space is dried thoroughly, which will inhibit mold growth.
