Mold Detective

If we can help, great! If not, we'll often be able to tell you that too, right over the phone, saving you time and money. Although practically every home has some mold, certain homes just have too much. This is usually the result of previous or ongoing water intrusion. Molds love water. If you have or had a water leak, chances are that mold growth is accelerating.

We need to find out if there is an excessive amount of moisture that leads to mold in your home and if any mold is present. We also need to identify the type of mold we're dealing with. Certain molds are just bad news. Although most can be an environmental assistant, there are some that don't belong in the house at all.

In fact, there are certain strains that release defensive compounds called mycotoxins that have been linked to a whole host of negative health effects. Exposure to molds usually occurs when people inhale mold spores or associated mycotoxins. Depending on the subject's vulnerability, touching or breathing these compounds can have serious health consequences.
