Common Emergency Situations
Mold Discovery
CRITICALVisible mold in vents, on duct surfaces, or musty smell throughout the home. Mold spreads rapidly through ductwork and can affect your entire home within 24-48 hours.
What to do:
Do NOT turn on your HVAC. This spreads mold spores to every room. Call us immediately for containment and remediation.
Burning Smell from Vents
CRITICALElectrical burning, acrid, or chemical odor coming from supply vents. This could indicate an electrical fault in the HVAC, overheating motor, or debris on the heat exchanger.
What to do:
Turn OFF your HVAC immediately. If the smell persists, evacuate and call 911 first, then call us.
Post-Fire / Smoke Damage
CRITICALAfter a fire (even a small kitchen fire), smoke particles infiltrate your ductwork and recirculate throughout the home. Soot is toxic and causes respiratory damage.
What to do:
Your ducts must be professionally cleaned before running the HVAC system. We use specialized soot removal equipment.
Carbon Monoxide Alert
CRITICALCO detector triggered, especially when heating system runs. Could indicate cracked heat exchanger, blocked flue, or improper venting.
What to do:
Evacuate immediately. Call 911. After fire department clears the building, call us for HVAC inspection and duct assessment.
Pest Infestation in Ducts
HIGH PRIORITYRodent droppings, insect activity, or animal noises in ductwork. Pest contamination introduces bacteria, allergens, and disease vectors into your air supply.
What to do:
We coordinate with pest control for removal, then sanitize and decontaminate your entire duct system.
Complete HVAC Failure
HIGH PRIORITYSystem not producing any air, making unusual noises, or cycling on and off rapidly. In extreme DMV summer heat or winter cold, this is a health risk.
What to do:
We dispatch a technician to diagnose and resolve the issue. If duct obstruction is the cause, we clear it immediately.
Water / Flood in Ducts
HIGH PRIORITYWater intrusion from flooding, burst pipes, or roof leaks that reaches ductwork. Standing water in ducts breeds mold within 24 hours.
What to do:
Time is critical. We extract water, dry the system, and apply antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold growth.
Severe Allergy / Asthma Attack
HIGH PRIORITYFamily member experiencing severe allergic reaction or asthma attack triggered by indoor air. Contaminated ducts are often the hidden cause.
What to do:
Seek medical attention first. Then call us for emergency duct cleaning and air quality assessment.
