The constant dampness probably attracts mold.

If it is a/c condensate it could just be moisture issues. If it is furnace condensate, that's another matter. Condensation from flue gases is very acidic unless a neutralizer is used. That's why furnaces are drained in PVC or some other plastic. The water from a 90+ furnace will actually eat through copper piping if not neutralized or diluted.
