A respected client of our Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C supplier called about a awful odor coming out of their air duct, then i was dispatched out for a air duct cleaning as well as possibly an entire Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C cleaning, but traditionally, I’ve discovered that when your Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C proposal is putting out a awful odor it can be anything from mold to a dead creature that chewed its way into your air duct as well as died.
I was ecstatic to find that the source of the stench was not a dead creature as well as it was a little bit different than expected.
The vent was not covered in the dining room as well as our customers various year outdated child had obviously been throwing food down into the air duct. The parents had no plan that the girl was doing this although they did say they make him clean her plate every meal. I believe there is more than 1 way to clean a plate as well as there was now a few weeks worth of old, moldy food in the air duct, but of course I had to clean it all out. The odor was pretty awful too; maybe even worse than dead creature odor. The scented candles that the family had put around did little to nothing to help with the stench. They told myself and others they had been trying to find the odor for a few weeks before they finally narrowed it down to the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system. I was able to clean out the air duct entirely wonderful as well as I also installed a charcoal, baking tea filters to help with any lingering scents. I also put a new cover over the vent in the dining room although I suggested that the child’s seat be moved away from the vent anyhow, but she could still put food down the air duct if she wanted to with the vent on it.
