Mold Testing

If you have musty odours, humidity issues, damp basement, water damage or visible mold in your home, then you likely may have mold issues in your home. Most often, mold is not visible in the home but our Certified Mold Inspectors can help determine if there are mold issues present.

Mold growth may occur in your home if there is sufficient moisture because mold spores are everywhere. Be on the lookout for these common sources of moisture:

• Flooding
• Roof leaks
• Plumbing leaks, drainage problems
• Damp basements and crawl spaces
• Leaking basements and crawl spaces due to cracked foundations or grading problems
• Steam from the bathroom or kitchen
• Condensation resulting from poor or improper insulation or ventilation
• Humidifiers
• Wet clothes drying inside the home or a clothes dryer venting indoors
• Poor or improper ventilation of combustion appliances

Indications of a moisture problem may include discoloration of the ceiling or walls, warping of the floor, or condensation on the walls or windows. The key to preventing mold growth is to control all moisture problems.
