Duct Cleaners Turn to MBM Insurance Resource Center’s Coverage Solutions

JOHNSTON, R.I. - Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Last week, students who attend Tri-City School in Central Illinois had several days off.  The unexpected break from school was not caused directly by the unusual cold wave that hit the region, but rather due to fears of spreading mold through the school’s heating system.

According to a report from WAND 17, earlier in the year, mold was found in the school’s heating system which has now been cleaned.  The school’s superintendent is waiting on laboratory results to show that the mold contamination has been safely removed before turning on the HVAC system.

Contaminated or dirty ducts can spread indoor air quality (IAQ) contaminants every time the HVAC system goes on.  According to the National Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), “While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.”

To help in situations like what occurred at the Illinois school, duct cleaning professionals remove contaminants to ensure a building’s HVAC system is not spreading contaminants throughout a building.  In order to be able to offer duct cleaning services, these professionals rely on specialized insurance coverage from companies such as MBM Insurance Resource Center.  “Because duct cleaners often encounter microbial and other unique challenges, they need insurance that provides them with insurance coverage to be able offer these services,” reports Marybeth Mainelli, President of MBM Insurance Resource Center.  “MBM offers insurance solutions at the best rates in the industry, while allowing our customers to have a streamlined application process that makes getting insurance a quick and easy process.”
