"I hired Walker's Home & Commercial Inspections because I was putting my older home on the market and wanted to know what repairs, if any, needed to be completed before selling. Mr. Walker pointed out several deficiencies. There was earth/wood contact below the kitchen window and some wiring that was done incorrectly. These items were corrected and the home is on the market. Thanks to the thorough inspection, a buyer will know the home was inspected and repairs done."

"While replacing our floors should have been an easy task, we were beyond bummed to learn that our old linoleum contained asbestos. Begrudgingly, I started calling around to get quotes on abatement and called Select Environmental on the recommendation of a friend of mine. Despite the fact that asbestos removal wasn't in my budget, I simply could not be more pleased to have found Blake and his team. From the outset, they were fast, timely, upfront, honest, and their pricing was fair. When an appointment was made for 8AM, my doorbell would ring at 7:59AM. His workers were efficient, meticulous, and courteous. By the end of our project, I almost longed to discover more asbestos so that I could use Blake and his team again. All kidding aside, I highly recommend Select Environmental and will use them again should the need arise."

"We called Silva’s Painting & Construction yesterday to reinforce two shelves that were sagging. They came and fixed them right away. Then we asked if they could construct additional shelves for our custom storage cabinets in our garage. They took measurements and a sample and constructed them in a very short amount of time. Silva’s and sons, Giovanni and Alex along with their amazing father, Sergio, have been wonderful in helping us with our move to another neighborhood and all the adjustments needed. Highly recommend and endorse this business."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Dog vomit slime mold is not toxic to humans, plants or pets. However, it can act as an allergen to people with allergies. Dog vomit slime mold is considered more of a cosmetic nuisance. However, it is beneficial to its ecosystem as it helps break down organic matter, releasing nutrients for plants.

It is common for mold to grow around air vents, especially in areas with high humidity or moisture problems. These vents provide a perfect environment for mold to thrive due to the condensation caused by the meeting of warm and cool air. Mold growth can be accelerated by the presence of dust and debris around the vents. Regular maintenance, proper ventilation, and addressing any water leaks or excess humidity can prevent the growth of mold around air vents.

If you see mold spores on walls, flooring, or ceilings, it’s best to call in a mold inspection pro to investigate. Similarly, if you smell signs of mold—musty, earthy, rotting wood, or stale scents—it’s time to call a mold inspection professional. 

Other less-obvious times when you should have your home inspected for mold include:

  • After flooding

  • After home water damage

  • Having ceiling or wall damage

  • Buying or selling a home

  • After a persistent unexplained cough or allergy symptoms 

  • Noticing discolored surfaces

No, it isn’t. This is one of those things that needs to be dealt with immediately because mold will spread at a rapid rate and can go from just one spot on the wall to a serious health risk in a matter of days. Prolonged exposure can be extremely dangerous, so any mold issues (or even suspected mold) need to be dealt with right away. 

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.
