Mold Remediation & Inspection

Mold is a naturally occurring fungi that grows all around us. There are literally thousands of different species that, most of the time, we cannot see. They live outdoors and are part of the natural environment. Outside, mold spores travel on the winds and find new homes and habitats when they find moisture. Mold can also travel indoors, into homes, and this is where they can cause significant problems. If it finds a moist medium in your home, it can grow unchecked. Mold that grows in a home is using moisture from a leak, excessive dampness or a problem with condensation.
