- Deteriorating ductwork may begin to fall apart.

They chew up the ductwork hoping to find a safe and uninhabitable location to stay and leave your AC pipe damaged. They aren’t visible, but you can feel them or smell their scent.

Certain ductwork systems can be damaged due to flooding. When water can enter the AC ducts, it is there for a long time and results in the ducts shrinking and getting damaged.
