Finding water in air vents in and of itself is not unusual, air naturally has water droplets in it. As the air moves through your air vents, some water is condensed back into liquid form. This is normal but there is an issue with water in air vents that you must be aware of.
Mold, Mildew and Rust
If you have metal air vents you are at a disadvantage when it comes to having water in your air vents. Not only are you at risk of developing mold and mildew in your air vents but you are also at a great risk of the air vents rotting from rust. Rust can:
