Why do your air vents smell musty? FreshDuct explains. The most common cause of a lasting musty smell is mould and mildew inside the ductwork. Dust in the ducts feeds it, and condensation supplies the moisture it needs to grow. Running the system rarely clears the smell. Each cycle spreads the contamination rather than removing it. The fix is mechanical cleaning to physically remove it, then a tea tree oil fog. No call-out fee, and you pay after the job.
