Mold & Mildew Duct Treatment in Sanford, 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.
Bastion Duct Solutions provides air duct and dryer vent cleaning across Sanford and the surrounding Seminole County area — Historic Downtown Sanford, Lake Mary, Heathrow, Markham Woods, Lake Forest, and the Lake Monroe waterfront. The Sanford SERP is dominated by Orlando-radius operators (national chains and Orlando-radius operators) — most of them never set foot in a 32771 or 32773 home, charge $59 coupon prices, and upsell to $900 on-site. We're residential-only, give a firm written quote before any work starts, and document every register with before/after photos. Pollen, year-round AC runtime, and Lake Monroe humidity push Seminole County ductwork harder than the national 3–5 year average — most Sanford homes need a 3-year cycle.

Mold & Mildew Duct Treatment FAQs — Sanford
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?
Sanford 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.
