"Altek drained out our crawl space, installed a new sump pump and encapsulated our entire crawl space adding a dehumidifier. They completed that in 4 and a half days. They showed up on time and were very professional. The project manager checked in always in person and by calling. I always got a summary at the end of each day on where they are at. I definitely recommend this company, the service was great. We are very happy."

"Donnie and his son did an excellent job on painting and repairing a few walls/ceilings in our home that were in extremely rough shape. We could not believe how well they transformed both spaces for us. They were flexible, kind, and hardworking. I highly recommend them for any wall repair needs and painting!"

"I was very satisfied with the service provided by Webb Property Inspections. From the beginning with Jennifer Cranford to the end with Darius Woods. Jennifer worked with me on getting this scheduled as soon as possible and making sure that I have everything I need to apply for permits, going as far as speaking with the building department. Darius was punctual, professional and thorough with the inspection, even completing it on a Sunday. I couldn’t be happier."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Yes, mold behind drywall can affect your health, even if it is not visible. Mold releases spores and mycotoxins into the air that can be inhaled, leading to various health issues including respiratory problems, allergies, asthma symptoms, coughs, and other infections. While individuals with pre-existing conditions like allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable, anyone can be affected by prolonged exposure. Additionally, if left untreated, mold can spread throughout your home and compromise its structural integrity, resulting in costly repairs.

Certainly, DIY mold tests are not perfect when trying to determine whether you have a mold problem. They could give you a false positive reading, or they may fail to detect mold that’s behind a wall, especially if the infestation is still small. Ultimately, you should seek a mold inspection if the DIY test gives you a positive result, just to be certain. And if the test is inconclusive, it’s probably worth seeking an inspection from a pro.

Musty smells often indicate the presence of mold, which can lead to various health risks. Inhalation of mold spores may trigger allergic reactions, causing sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, and itchy or watery eyes. People who suffer from mold allergies or asthma may experience more severe respiratory problems. Certain types of mold, like black mold, can lead to mycotoxicosis, a condition associated with serious health effects like respiratory problems, fatigue, headaches, and skin irritation if exposure continues for an extended period. Those with weakened immune systems, respiratory problems, or allergies may be more vulnerable to the health risks that come with musty smells. Therefore, it is crucial to address and eliminate the source of the odor promptly.

Although fiberglass dust is generally not considered toxic, inhaling excessive amounts of it can lead to health risks. Irritation to the respiratory system, eyes, and skin are common effects of fiberglass particle inhalation. While short-term exposure to the dust may only cause temporary discomfort, long-term or chronic exposure can lead to more severe respiratory problems.

Proper safety measures, such as wearing appropriate protective equipment, including masks and goggles, should be observed when handling or working with fiberglass materials to minimize health risks. It is important to note that, unlike asbestos, fiberglass is not associated with life-threatening illnesses.

If you believe mold is hidden somewhere in your home, don’t delay inspecting it, as it can be dangerous, especially to people with breathing problems and allergies. While it’s possible to learn how to check for mold yourself, we advise most people to hire a professional mold inspector, who can look more thoroughly. You can also purchase mold test kits if you aren’t sure if your home has mold, but a true human inspector is still your best bet.
