Rusty air duct vent is a sign of excessive moisture in the air. Excessive moisture can lead to mold growth so an air duct cleaning is recommended.

Rusty air duct vents are an indication of a high moisture content inside a home. This much moisture is never good and could lead to other issues like mold.

SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge was called to this residence in Scranton, PA for a mold remediation project. Included in the remediation was an air duct cleaning. If the origin of the mold was unknown, this vent would have been a great clue. To alleviate excess moisture inside a home or business, utilize a dehumidifier.
