Mold & Mildew Duct Treatment in Jacksonville, FL
If you smell a musty 'dirty sock' odor when the AC kicks on, see black specks around your supply vents, or notice unexplained allergy flare-ups — there's a strong chance mold is growing inside your Florida ductwork. Our antimicrobial duct treatment uses EPA-registered fog to kill mold spores at the source, then we sanitize the entire HVAC system so it stops recirculating spores into every room.
Looking for air duct cleaning in Jacksonville, FL? Bastion Duct Solutions is a veteran-owned, residential-focused team serving every Duval County ZIP — from the Beaches and San Marco to Mandarin, Riverside, Arlington, and Nocatee-adjacent neighborhoods. Coastal humidity, salt air, and 9+ months of AC runtime push Jacksonville HVAC ductwork harder than almost any market in the country, which is why our local crews recommend a 2–3 year cleaning cycle here instead of the national 3–5 year guideline. Every job uses truck-mounted negative-air HEPA vacuums, NADCA-style agitation whips, and before/after photos of every register — not the $59 shop-vac job advertised on Jacksonville coupon mailers.

- Dwell & Ventilate: 30-minute dwell time, then we ventilate the home before handing it back to you.
Mold & Mildew Duct Treatment FAQs — Jacksonville
Is the antimicrobial fog safe for kids and pets?
Yes — we use EPA-registered formulas approved for occupied spaces. We still ventilate the home after treatment and ask you to wait 30 minutes before re-entering.
Will this fix a major mold problem in my AC?
Surface mold in the ducts, yes. If mold is growing on the evaporator coil itself or there's water damage in the air handler, we'll flag it and recommend HVAC service first.
How long does the treatment last?
Jacksonville humidity means spores can return — most homes benefit from re-treatment every 2–3 years alongside their regular duct cleaning.
Do I need a mold test first?
Not for surface treatment. If you suspect a structural mold problem, hire a licensed mold assessor before any cleaning.
