Can I clean up mold myself?
In some instances yes. In other instances, simply removing the visible mold from the surface may not be enough. Any porous material that mold is growing on usually needs to be assessed and removed by a professional. When disturbed, mold has been known to release spores into the environment, which could then spread to other areas of the house if not contained properly. There is also always a chance for a large amount of unseen mold in the area that many people may overlook. It is best to hire a professional trained to look for any situation where mold may be present.
What are some signs that would indicate that I need my home tested for mold?
If you've had water damage in your home, discoloration of walls, floors or ceilings, or unexplained allergic reactions, or musty odor, your home might be infected with mold. All of these are indications of a mold problem. We also recommend testing your home for mold if it is exposed to large amounts of moisture.
