Do you check for mold?
Yes. We will always check for mold and the conditions that lead to mold growth. How will we do it?
1. Visual Inspection: We look for visible signs of mold growth. Especially in the dark corners around the home. This includes discoloration or staining on surfaces, as well as any signs of growth on walls, ceilings, and floors.
2. Moisture Detection: If there is moisture, there's an excellent chance mold is present. We use a moisture meter to identify areas where water is penetrating the area. Then we will look around these areas to find where the moisture is coming from.
3. Muggy or damp conditions: If a home is vacant, closed up, and the thermostat is set too high in the summer, moisture levels will rise and mold will grow. Most mold grows when the 60% moisture content reaches (a hygrometer will tell you), but some mold will grow with at little as 20%. The higher the moisture level the faster it grows.
To keep mold away, keep the moisture level less than 55%.
