Home is where the heart is. It’s where we relax, and spend time with family and loved ones. That's why it's important to make sure that our homes are healthy environments. Recognizing mold is an important step in protecting your health and your home, and identifying potential mold issues can be done with a simple walk around the home!

Musty Odor

Often associated with crawl spaces, that “basement smell” could be doing more harm to your home than just causing a stink.

High Humidity

When the relative humidity in a home reaches 60% or higher, mold can grow easily and rapidly.

Water Damage

mold and water damage are almost always related. If your roof has had a pesky leak that just won’t stop, your shower has a crack in the grout, or your basement floods every spring, chances are you have mold somewhere.

Health Problems

In severe cases, skin rashes, pink eye, memory loss, fatigue, and ongoing respiratory issues often point to a moldy culprit.

Stuffy or Stale Air

Poor ventilation often lends itself to creating a prime breeding ground for mold to flourish. Stale air with no flow allows damp surfaces to dry slowly, inviting mold to grow.

It's best to have mold testing performed for you by a qualified mold professional. Hiring a professional mold tester who is experienced at collecting and analyzing mold samples will always lead to the most accurate results. Mold tests can also help you find hidden mold, measure your indoor air quality and identify what species of mold is in your home.
