Can Your HVAC System Cause Moisture and Mold Problems?
Your HVAC system doesn’t just heat and cool your home – it also plays an important role in managing indoor moisture. When condensate doesn’t drain correctly, humidity stays elevated, or equipment and ductwork sit in a damp crawl space, conditions can develop that support mold growth. In this guide, Mold Patrol co-owner Brian Murphy explains what his team found in a home measuring roughly 74–78% relative humidity, how an HVAC condensate problem contributed, and why moisture around the system shouldn’t be treated as an isolated issue. You’ll also learn what warning signs deserve attention and when further investigation makes sense.
