Mold is a silent intruder. It can grow inside walls, under floors, and in attics for months before you ever see it. In Weldon Spring, MO, the combination of humidity and older home construction can create perfect conditions for mold growth. But how do you know if you have a problem?
Signs You May Need a Mold Inspection
- Musty Odors: A persistent earthy or damp smell that won't go away.
- Allergy Symptoms: Sneezing, itchy eyes, or respiratory issues that worsen when you're at home.
- Visible Discoloration: Dark spots on walls, ceilings, or around vents.
- Past Water Damage: If you've had a leak or flood that wasn't properly dried, mold is likely present.
What Does a Certified Inspector Do?
Unlike a general home inspector, our certified mold inspectors are trained specifically to find fungal growth.
- Visual Inspection: We check high-risk areas like basements, crawlspaces, and bathrooms using specialized lights and tools.
- Moisture Detection: We find the source of the moisture that feeds the mold. Without fixing the water source, the mold will return.
- Air Quality Testing: We take air samples to measure the spore count in your home compared to the outside air.
- Surface Sampling: We swab suspicious surfaces to identify the specific type of mold (e.g., Stachybotrys or "black mold").

If we find mold, we provide a detailed remediation plan. We contain the area, remove the contamination safely using negative air pressure, and clean the air. We don't just guess; we solve the problem scientifically.
