Can mold be a problem in Winfield's climate?
Yes. Condensation from temperature differences, humidifiers, or poor ventilation creates damp spots conducive to mold.

It can. Evaporative coolers add significant moisture to indoor air, which can condense and lead to growth near ducts and ceilings.
Is ductwork inspected for condensation mold?
Yes. Ductwork and register boots are inspected, as sweating ducts in unconditioned spaces are a common source of condensation mold.

The mold returns because the condensation continues. Correcting the insulation gap or humidity level is required for a permanent solution.
