"I Don't See Any Mold"

Most people who call me don't see any visible mold in their home or office. However, they have a reason to suspect a mold problem.

The fact is that not all mold problems are obvious. Moreover, often the most costly mold related repairs are caused by mold that nobody could see.

Hidden Mold

Unseen mold can rapidly spread inside walls, under floors, above ceilings and deep into heating and air conditioning vents. By the time hidden mold is detected, it can cause thousands of dollars in property damage as well as pose potential health risks.

If you have reason to believe that you may have a mold problem: Don't wait until you can visually see it. If you smell musty odors or become aware that your property has experienced a flood, damaged plumbing, roof leak or any other threat of water intrusion, it is a good idea to have a professional mold inspection performed. Prompt action can mean the difference between a repair project costing a few dollars or several thousands.

Be Proactive About Hidden Mold

Most of us already have two effective mold detectors: Our eyes and our nose. Like the old saying goes: "If it smells like mold, it's probably mold!" And any time an unexplained discoloration appears on a surface, especially if the location is or was damp, it is almost certainly mold. You may not know what type it is or how extensive the problem may be, but you know you have a mold problem and it won't just go away by itself.

The main thing is to be proactive. The most dangerous mold is the mold you can't see. Hidden mold can create significant damage to your property and risks to your health long before you know it's there.
