"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

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.

One of the first signs of mold in an air conditioner is a musty smell. You're likely to notice the smell when the unit runs, from the air coming out of the vents or the unit itself. You may also be able to see mold growing on the unit, such as near the condenser coils or by the fan. In some cases, there may be visible mold by the vents.

Black mold appears in areas with constant moisture and has a slightly fuzzy texture. It’ll have a primarily circular pattern. While it’s known to have a black color, it can also appear dark green, or dark brown, although a few types include orange or white flecks. Identifying black mold is important because people who inhale the spores could suffer respiratory issues or neurological problems. Black mold is a toxic material and requires a professional to remove it.

Turn off the water main immediately. Hire a professional plumber to check on your pipes and make any replacements so you avoid water damage. You don’t want to take any risks with flooding, so it’s best to consult a professional plumber as quickly as possible.

No, a dehumidifier does not actually remove mold. It only reduces the moisture in the room, which mold needs in order to grow. If you already have mold, you’ll need to do a deeper cleaning or call a pro to remove the existing mold first.
