Why Mold Inspections are Essential

Mold can hide in areas of your home that are not easily visible, such as behind walls, under flooring, or in attics. A professional mold inspection can uncover mold growth before it spreads, helping you address the issue before it becomes a major problem. Regular mold inspections are key to maintaining a mold-free home, especially in high-moisture areas like basements, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Health Risks of Undetected Mold

Mold can grow silently in your home, impacting your indoor air quality and leading to various health problems:

• Respiratory Issues: Exposure to mold spores can cause coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath, particularly for those with asthma or allergies.
• Allergic Reactions: Mold can trigger allergic reactions, including sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rashes.
• Asthma Aggravation: Mold can worsen asthma symptoms, leading to more frequent attacks and difficulty breathing.
• Fungal Infections: In rare cases, mold exposure can cause serious infections, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems.

Our Mold Inspection Process

At Camas Home Services, we take a meticulous approach to mold inspection, using advanced tools and methods to identify mold in your home. Our process includes:

1. Visual Inspection: We start by thoroughly inspecting your home for visible signs of mold and moisture, focusing on areas where mold is likely to grow.
2. Moisture Detection: Using moisture meters, we identify damp areas and conditions that can lead to mold growth.
3. Air & Surface Sampling: If necessary, we take air and surface samples to test for hidden mold spores, which are sent to a certified lab for analysis.
4. Comprehensive Report: You’ll receive a detailed report that outlines our findings, including any signs of mold and recommendations for remediation, if required.

Tips for Preventing Mold Growth

Regular mold inspections are essential for detecting problems, but prevention is the key to keeping mold at bay. Here are some steps to help reduce the risk of mold in your home:

• Fix Leaks Promptly: Repair leaks in your roof, plumbing, or walls as soon as you spot them to prevent water from accumulating.
• Improve Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
• Control Humidity: Keep indoor humidity levels below 60% by using dehumidifiers and air conditioners, especially in high-humidity areas like basements.
• Monitor Damp Areas: Regularly inspect your basement, attic, and crawl spaces for any signs of moisture or dampness.
