Mildew Smell Coming from Vent

You need to have your vents cleaned and your airconditioning serviced. Look for a company that works or sells your brand of airconditioning. Look on the internet for air duct cleaning in your area.

I am a realtor in Dallas and I have moisture in my crawl space and have set up at fan to go on when the moisture gets up.###-###-#### Gloria Morin Gray

I put a half a cup of solumel next to the vent ( inside where noone sees it)- it keeps the pollutants out, smells fresh, and keeps the air around clean.

I believe David is who we spoke with and who helped us...he is VERY knowledgeable and SUPER nice. It will not be your cheapest quote, but if you just call him he may know another fix that you can do yourself; unfortunately for us that wasn't enough, but sounds like you have a different problem. I would call him and just see; he is very passionate about this line of work and sincerely a nice guy. We will use them in the future.

There are so many companies out there that do air duct cleaning- I'm sure they do the air return vent as well. I would definitely call one of them to come out and clean. I'm sorry that I don't have a specific recommendation as I've never used one of those companies (they usually do carpet cleaning too), but probably should. They should be able to take care of the mildew for you, I would think. Not good for allergies, mildew. It could mean that you have a leak, as well- so I might actually call the A/C people first, I dunno. I mean, it's not normal to have mildew in your vents, unless there's a water leak getting in somewhere. The reason you don't smell it when the A/C is on is that the A/C dehumidifies. There are companies out there that test for leaks in your system (but it's usually air leaks from the vents, not water leaks into the vents).
