When & Why to have a Mold Evaluation.
Considering that we offer a free visual mold evaluation of your home and only recommend a third party inspector when we feel it is warranted, you should know when and why to have an evaluation.
When to have an evaluation
•When you want to determine if mold is growing in your home.
•After any flooding or water damage event.
•Whenever you find a leak that has been present for more than 24 hours.
•Whenever you smell a moldy odor.
•Residents of your home experience a long-term medical condition without a known cause.
•Unusual stains appear on furniture or building material.
•You suspect mold but do not see any visible mold growth.
Why to have an evaluation
If you are susceptible to mold allergies or have other medical issues, there is a high probability that you will have an adverse reaction in moldy environments. As for property damage, the very nature of mold is to decompose matter. Over a period of time, mold can destroy anything and everything it comes in contact with, including your home and personal belongings. Does the fact that mold is present automatically mean your property is doomed? Of course not. But the longer it goes un-addressed, the more damage it will cause.
