Springfield homeowners — quick question.
Have you ever actually looked in your crawl space?
After inspecting homes in this area for more than 10 years, we can tell you that many homeowners have mold growth starting under their house and don’t realize it.
It usually begins with excess moisture and shows up as:
• A musty smell in the house
• Allergy symptoms that seem worse indoors
• Dark staining on floor joists or subflooring
• Condensation or humidity in the crawl space
• Past plumbing leaks that were never fully dried out
While crawl spaces are the most common place we find problems, mold can also develop in attics, bathrooms, basements, and around HVAC systems when moisture is present.
Over the past decade we’ve performed nearly 10,000 mold inspections and completed almost 2,300 remediation projects in the Springfield area.
One thing many homeowners are surprised to learn is that a large percentage of inspections simply confirm that things are okay or only minor moisture issues need attention.
But when mold or hidden moisture is present, catching it early can prevent much larger problems later.
Our inspections check the entire home and help identify:
• Hidden moisture sources
• Mold growth in crawl spaces and structural wood
• Water intrusion issues
• Conditions that could allow mold to spread
If you’ve noticed musty smells, humidity, or signs of past water damage, it’s worth having it checked.
Call or message us to schedule a mold inspection. We currently have a few inspection openings available this week.
